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.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Analyse a situation and identify its points for improvement.

  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.
  8. Identify the social, economic and environmental implications of academic and professional activities within one?s own area of knowledge.

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. 

-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. For them to average, they must be approved with at least 5 each test

f a part of the subject is not passed, it is necessary to take the synthesis test of the whole subject,

.

-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.
