Human Movement Studies I

Anatomy, Physiology, Biophysics.

The pedagogical methods and strategies adopted include: exposition, demonstration/exemplification, simulated practice among students, and problem solving.

Student support and follow-up mechanisms include face-to-face or remote assistance to clarify doubts and solve problems.

a) Possess knowledge and understanding in the field of movement science;

b) Know how to apply the acquired knowledge and understanding, in order to demonstrate a professional approach to the cycle of intervention in physiotherapy / physiotherapy process;

c) Ability to solve problems in the field of movement science, and to build and substantiate their own arguments;

d) Ability to collect, select and interpret relevant information, particularly in the area of ​​movement science, enabling them to substantiate the solutions they advocate and the judgments they issue, including in the analysis the relevant social, scientific and ethical aspects;

e) Skills that enable them to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions, particularly in the area of ​​movement science, both to specialist and non-specialist audiences;

f) Learning skills, particularly in the area of ​​movement science, which allow them to learn lifelong with a high degree of autonomy.

– Biomechanical and kinesiological fundamentals of human movement (3T + 2TP)

– Involvement of the osteoarticular system in human movement (6T + 4TP)

– Involvement of the muscular system in human movement (6T + 4TP)

– Involvement of the nervous system in human movement (6T + 4TP)

– Fundamentals of sensorimotor control of human movement (3T + 2TP)

– Analysis and evaluation of upper limb movement (6T + 4TP)

– Analysis and evaluation of lower limb movement (6T + 4TP)

– Analysis and evaluation of trunk movement (3T + 2TP)

– Analysis and evaluation of human gait (3T + 2TP)

Approval in the curricular unit is obtained with a classification greater than or equal to 10 values (on a scale of 0 to 20).

- Assessment by frequency (continuous/periodic)

Continuous evaluation. Its evaluation elements include face-to-face participation in theoretical classes, with a weight of 10% of the final grade of the assessment by frequency, and face-to-face participation in theoretical-practical classes, with a weight of 10% of the final grade of the assessment by frequency. An attendance of less than 80% of the classes (theoretical and theoretical-practical) implies the attribution of zero values in these evaluation elements.

Periodic evaluation. It has as evaluation elements a theoretical test (3T), with a weight of 50% of the final classification of the evaluation by frequency, and a theoretical-practical test (2TP), with a weight of 30% of the final classification of the evaluation by frequency.

To be approved, the student must have a minimum of 9.5 values in each matrix of the curricular unit (theoretical and theoretical-practical).

- Assessment by exam

Theoretical and theoretical-practical test, with a weight of 100% of the final classification of the evaluation by exam. To be approved, the student must have a minimum of 9.5 values in each matrix of the curricular unit (theoretical and theoretical-practical).
