The theoretical classes aim to develop the basic knowledge of students in order to be able to apply clinical reasoning in
planning and physiotherapeutic intervention. Through the theoretical-practical classes, students will discuss evaluation
plans, intervention, problem solving and analysis of clinical cases. Expositive and interactive methodology in
theoretical classes. Demonstrative and interactive in the theoretical-practical typology for problem solving, discussion
of evaluation plans, intervention, problem solving and clinical case analysis. Use of the e-learning platform for guided
study, discussion and reflection. Continuous evaluation = Frequency (50%) + Frequency (50%). Students can choose
for a final exam.
Know the definition of Neurosciences in the context of Physiotherapy throughout the life cycle
Know the properties that differentiate the nervous system from the rest of the human body, its structures and
development
Identify the neurochemical organization, the neurovascular system, the ventricular system and the regulation of
intracranial pressure
Know the pathophysiology of nervous system disease, the diversity of neurological pathology (vascular, traumatic,
degenerative, tumoral, infectious and neuromuscular) and the neurological sequelae of systemic diseases
Identify cranial nerves (afferent or sensory neural pathways) consciousness and attention (sleep and wake rhythms)
Know homeostasis, integration with the endocrine limbic and mood systems
Establish the relationship between the brain and sex motor control, motor function in speech, language and explore the
concept of hemispheric lateralization;
Interpret the complementary diagnostic exams from the physiotherapist's point of view
