Have theoretical knowledge and have acquired the basic practical abilities in the field of Neurological Physiotherapy which will allow the student the interpretation and evaluation of the deficits related to the nervous system pathology.
Knowledge of English that allows the student to carry out bibliographic research and critical reading of scientific papers
This subject intends to deepen into the physiopathology of stroke and related cerebrovascular diseases, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, Parkinson's disease and other common neurological conditions in healthcare practice.
Knowledge of the physiopathology of these neurological syndromes will allow the diagnosis of physiotherapy, planning, applying and evaluating physiotherapy treatment; necessary to exercise as a physiotherapist in the neurological field.
Have theoretical knowledge and have acquired the basic practical abilities in the field of of Neurological Physiotherapy to facilitate the interpretation and assessment of the main signs and symptoms of the nervous system diseases.

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION:
Mid-term exams: 2 mid-term exams will be held on the contents taught in the theoretical classes. Each midterm will have a weight of 30% of the final grade of the course.
First midterm:
WRITTEN EVALUATION: (30% of the final grade) by means of objective multiple-choice tests.
Second partial:
WRITTEN EVALUATION: (30% of the final grade) by means of objective multiple-choice tests.
A minimum grade of 5 out of 10 is required to pass each of the midterm exams.
Written work of scientific literature search: Each student will have to do 1 work in which the knowledge of the proposed topic, critical thinking, problem-solving based on scientific evidence, and the use of updated bibliographic citations will be evaluated. This work will be evaluated in two parts: The written part (30% of the final grade), and the Presentation (10% of the final grade). In order to pass the continuous evaluation it is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 5 out of 10 in the work.
ERASMUS students will be evaluated in the same way as national students. If they wish, they may request written evaluations in English. They can also do the work and the presentation in English.
Students who do not take one of the written tests or do not hand in the work will be considered not evaluable.
Re-take exam: Students who do not obtain a grade of 5 in one or more evaluations have to take the final recovery test of the corresponding evaluations. In case the student does not reach the minimum grade of 5 in the written work, it will be necessary to take a practical exam on two clinical cases.
SINGLE EVALUATION:
The subject contemplates the single evaluation system.
The single evaluation will consist of a multiple-choice exam on the contents taught in the theoreticalclasses, which will have a weight of 60% of the final grade. In addition, there will be a practical exam on two clinical cases, this exam will have a value of 40% of the final grade.
For the re-take in the case of single evaluation: The same re-take system will be applied as for continuous assessment. The review of the final qualification follows the same procedure as the continuous evaluation.
