The subject is programmed in the third year of the Degree in Physiotherapy.
The objectives are:
- Know and differentiate the different types of edemas in the different pathologies.
- Acquire the necessary training to be able to differentiate the indications and the contraindications of the processes vascular and lymphatic more important.
- Differentiation of the different types of amputations and their prosthetic adaptations.
- Correct planning of the treatment of Physiotherapy.
- Identification of the possible complications during the treatment of the patient.
- Correct application of Manual Lymphatic Drainage, depending on the type of origin and edema.
- Correct application of the different types of bandages according to the pathology and its etiology.
Competences
- Act with ethical responsibility and respect for fundamental rights and duties, diversity and democratic values.
- Constantly renew one's professional knowledge, competences and skills.
- Design the physiotherapy intervention plan in accordance with the criteria of appropriateness, validity and efficiency.

- Display knowledge of the physiotherapy methods, procedures and interventions in clinical therapeutics.
- Evaluate the functional state of the patient, considering the physical, psychological and social aspects.
- Integrate, through clinical experience, the ethical and professional values, knowledge, skills and attitudes of physiotherapy, in order to resolve specific clinical cases in the hospital and non-hospital environments, and primary and community care.
- 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.
