Teaching Methodologies
Teaching methodologie ntegrate: a. ;cription of contents; analysis and discussion of concepts and demonstration / explanation of the technrques with simulated practice among students.
The process of continuous evaluation: Students are assessed through the completion of a theoretical and two practical tests. The success in the course is obtained by the weighted average (40/30/30) of the classifications obtained in these tests. Note lower than 9.5 in any of the tests mentioned, requires the achievement of a final exam.
Assessment for final exam will consist of a theoretical and a practical tests and will be held during times designated for the effect. The approval for the course is obtained with an equal or higher than 10 result.
Learning Results
Understand the theoretical bases of the techniques of soft tissue mobilization directed at cutaneous and lymphatic systems;
Acquire manual dexterity to properly execute the techniques discussed;
Demonstrate competence to select the techniques of soft tissue mobilization used by relating their clinicai decision clinicai reasoning based on history, signs and symptoms of the patient and their perception of the problem and the expected results of the intervention, particularly at the levei of tissues soft and situations of the lymphatic system dysfunction.
