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.

Methodology

Master classes with practical sessions in the laboratory and ICT support with specialized seminars.

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

There will be 2 partials that release note if they exceed a minimum of 5.

Practical test:

Evaluation of the seminars: 15% of the final grade.

Resolution of clinical cases: 35% of the final grade.

Mandatory attendance at the internship. Less than 80% of assistance, will mean the suspense of the assistance and the practical part.

Students will be able to present themselves to a recovery test (of knowledge, abilities and attitudes that have been obtained during the course) ifany of the parts of the assessment have been suspended.

Art 116.8. When it is considered that the student has not been able to provide sufficient evidences of evaluation in the act it is will assign this subject as not evaluable Erasmus students contact the teacher in charge of the subject.
