Prerequisites
It is advisable that the student has achieved basic skills in Comprehensive Learning in Medicine and Structural and Molecular Pathology.
It is necessary to have achieved sufficient knowledge in:
Human Anatomy
Medical Physiology
Applied Physiology
The student will acquire the commitment to preserve the confidentiality and professional secrecy of the data that he may have access to because of the learning in the assistance services. Also in maintaining an attitude of professional ethics in all their actions.
Objectives and Contextualisation
Medicine has managed to extend the lives of many patients, but giving functionality and autonomy to these gained years is equally important. Medical Rehabilitation, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation is the medical speciality that diagnoses, evaluates, prevents and treats disability aimed at facilitating, maintaining or returning to the person the greatest possible functionality and independence. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than one billion people, or around 15% of the world's population, have some type of disability. The number of people with disabilities is increasing rapidly, which is explained, among other reasons, by demographic trends and the increasing prevalence of chronic ailments. Almost all people will likely experience some form of disability, temporary or permanent, at some point in their lives and it is through rehabilitation that they will be able to walk again, be independent or return to work.
The subject is in the fifth year of Medicine
, where the basic knowledge about the function of the human body in health situations has already been achieved and the knowledge about the different medical and surgical pathologies has already been acquired.
The general objectives of the subject are:
Incorporate the evaluation and treatment of functionality and disability as essential in the comprehensive care of the patient.
The specific objectives are:
Acquire the necessary knowledge for the comprehensive assessment of the patient-focused on function and functional diagnosis.
Acquire the essential knowledge about physical activity, type and form of application in prevention, development and rehabilitation of health.
Acquire the essential knowledge of how to perform the assessment, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of acute or chronic injuries that cause permanent or temporary disability.
Competences
- Demonstrate understanding of the manifestations of the illness in the structure and function of the human body.
- Demonstrate understanding of the structure and function of the human organism in illness, at different stages in life and in both sexes.
- Demonstrate, in professional activity, a perspective that is critical, creative and research-oriented.
- Establish a diagnostic approach and a well thought-out strategy for action, taking account of the results of the anamnesis and the physical examination, and the results of the appropriate complementary tests carried out subsequently.
- Maintain and sharpen one's professional competence, in particular by independently learning new material and techniques and by focusing on quality.
- Obtain and prepare a patient record that contains all important information and is structured and patient-centred, taking into account all age and gender groups and cultural, social and ethnic factors.
- Perform the basic practical procedures of examination and treatment.
Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate, in professional activity, a perspective that is critical, creative and research-oriented.
- Describe the main diagnostic and therapeutic techniques performed in the hospital service corresponding to the subject.
- Describe the main diagnostic and therapeutic techniques used in the prescription of physical activity and in the re-establishment of functionality.
- Establish clear and effective communication with patients and their family-members.
- Identify the radiological and anatomopathological alterations of the commonest diseases in the different body systems, at different stages in life and in both sexes.
- Interpret the most specific images in the most common pathologies.
- Maintain and sharpen one's professional competence, in particular by independently learning new material and techniques and by focusing on quality.
- Understand the manifestations of the main pathologies on the structure and function of the human body.
