Objectives and Contextualisation

The subject is scheduled in the second year of the degree of physiotherapy and is part of the specific training. The knowledge of the musculoskeletal system pathology is crucial, as well as its basic medical and surgical treatments. The learning of physiotherapeutic applications in each pathology is also essential.

  • Analyse and synthesise.
  • Display knowledge of the morphology, physiology, pathology and conduct of both healthy and sick people, in the natural and social environment.
  • Make changes to methods and processes in the area of knowledge in order to provide innovative responses to society's needs and demands.
  • Take account of social, economic and environmental impacts when operating within one's own area of knowledge.
  • Take sex- or gender-based inequalities into consideration when operating within one's own area of knowledge.

  5. Enumerate the medico-surgical treatments, mainly in the area of physiotherapy and orthopaedics, that are used in the principal diseases that can be treated by physiotherapy.
  6. Explain the physiopathology of the principal diseases that can be treated by physiotherapy and identify the symptoms that appear during the process.
  7. Identify situations in which a change or improvement is needed.

Assessment

 

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

Those students who request it according to the established circuit may take advantage of the single evaluation, taking all the evaluations on the same date and without it being compulsory to attend the PLABs or any other teaching activity. The final evaluation will be the average between the written evaluations. Writen evaluation is 95% and 0-5% general skills.

 

 



Evaluation
 

-First TEST: Test with 5 options, only one correct. There will be 20 questions, will score on 10 and will average with the 2nd test. 2 wrong answers subtract 1 correct. Date to be determined with students The exam will evaluate the knowledge of the topics 1-17

 

-Second TEST: Test with 5 options, only one correct. There will be 20 questions, will score on 10 and will average with the 1st test. 2 wrong answers subtract 1 correct. Date to be determined with students The exam will evaluate the knowledge of the topics 18-34

-Assistance to classes: Attendance at 80% or more of the classes will add to the final grade 0'5 points. If after the average of the 2 test and class attendance a 5 or more is obtained, the subject will be considered as approved and it will not be necessary to take the final exam. 

 

-Recovery exam: Written exam to which students who have not reached 5 after the other two exams may be presented. Date determined by the UAB. Development test with 5 questions (to choose 4 of them, each question scores 2.5 points)
