The aim is to provide students with theoretical and practical training in specific psychological and social aspects involved in the field of physiotherapy.Thus, this subject focuses on studying the interaction processes between the individual and their environment in the area of health. In addition to providing students with basic communication strategies to establish a good relationship between the physiotherapist and the patient.
The content aims to provide the skills required to evaluate the functional state of the patient/user from the perspective of physiotherapy, considering physical, psychological and social aspects.It is necessary to understand and apply manual and instrumental assessment methods and procedures in Physiotherapy and Physical Rehabilitation and the scientific evaluation of their use and effectiveness.
Integration of the basic principles of the profession of physiotherapy, in addition to learning about its history and the basic tools for developing a correct clinical history and diagnosis in physiotherapy.
The aim is for students to learn about the basic principles of ethics, legislation and health administration in the context of the profession of physiotherapy.
This subject aims to provide students with the tools they need to suitably develop practical and theoretical skills within the framework of passive articular movement.
It includes the application of physiotherapy based on scientific evidence within the framework of effective physiotherapy. It proposes the integration of theoretical aspects for case studies.Medical history in physiotherapy. Clinical reasoning in physiotherapy.
In this subject the mechanics of solids, fluids and electromagnetic fields are formally described as the basis of how the musculoskeletal system works and of using therapeutic agents in physiotherapy, combined with the physical principles of mechanics applied to humans.
The aim is for students to receive theoretical and practical training on preparing and developing research projects.To do so, concepts are analysed, strategies are developed and practical exercises proposed within the area of health.
The subject presents the study of the concepts of health and illness through fundamental definitions, the identification of the main vital signs and the physiopathological processes. It also includes the study of the main pharmacological groups. It examines the most frequent medical-surgical pathologies, including descriptions, diagnosis and the main treatments, all from a psycho-bio-social perspective.
It includes the study of the medical-surgical pathologies typical of the different clinical specialities, through content on physiopathological processes, the recognition of signs and symptoms, as well as their diagnosis and treatment.
Foundations, general and specific approaches within the framework of massotherapy and its application to different pathologies and to preserve health.
Knowledge and foundations of structural osteoarticular treatment from the perspective of physiotherapy
The aim of this subject is to provide students with theoretical and practical knowledge of the Application of Physical Agents within the framework of Physiotherapy, as a treatment tool, through theoretical and practical classes.In order to put into practice the knowledge students acquire over the course of the year, (and also over the course of the degree up to that moment) Clinical Activity Sessions will be included in the teaching period where students will have the opportunity to offer a physiotherapy service to real patients.
The application of clinical reasoning in physiotherapy in cases of different complexity through the integration of theoretical and practical contents on the study of cases. It will also include the implementation of professional skills and attitudes for solving problems.
