Intervention Strategies in Physiotherapy II

Métodos de ensino

Expository and interactive methodology in the development of theoretical classes. Demonstrative and interactive
methodology in theoretical-practical typology classes. And finally, more active methodologies in the Practical and
Laboratories classes for the development of experimental skills. Problem-based learning methodology and education
for understanding will be applied through educational planning based on meaningful learning scenarios (simulation) in
laboratory practice classes. Use of the e-learning platform for guided study, discussion and reflection.
Continuous assessment = Frequency (60%) + Practical Test (40%). Students can choose final examination.

Objetivos de Unidade Curricular

To know and analyze the movement process and its control by identifying the circuits involved in the movement and
describe its modeling mechanisms;
To know the principles of intervention in neurological conditions by the concept of Neuroplasticity;
To know and discuss the principles of intervention in acute and chronic states, their concepts, methods and techniques
of intervention and measurement of neurology results;
Understand clinical conditions by changes in sensitivity, balance, motor control and cognition in order to know how to
select intervention techniques;
Apply the knowledge acquired in the interpretation of alterations associated with brain pathologies/motor control by
discussing case studies, promoting specific intervention planning.
