Content

The human movement and its control by the central nervous system are studied.

In this matter we study the procedures necessary to identify and perform the treatment physiotherapy, more appropriate to the alterations of the locomotor system, as well as its prevention. I also know they develop procedures for the promotion of health through the movement. In addition they develop the mechanisms and tools to establish the diagnosis of physiotherapy for alterations derived from the pathology and / or processes and activities that have an impact on the good maintenance of body ergonomics. Approaching the ergonomic and anthropometric principles and guidelines for good clinical practice. Ergonomics and occupational health. Prevention of injuries derived from the postural alterations inherent to the work areas, domestic, material, etc.
