Teaching Methodologies
The adopted pedagogical methods and strategies include: lecture; demonstration/exemplification of techniques with simulated practice among students; and problem solving.
The approval in the curricular unit is obtained with a score above or equal to 10 points. The assessment methodology includes an assessment of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, with a weight of 50%, and an assessment of constraint induced movement therapy and Bobath concept, with a weight of 50 %. The score of each of these assessments cannot be lower than 9.5 points. The assessment of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation includes: written test with a weight of 20% and theoretical and practical evaluation with a weight of 80%. The assessment of constraint induced movement therapy and Bobath concept includes written test with a weight of 40% and theoretical and practical evaluation with a weight of 60%.
The assessment may also be carried out through an exam, during the period designated for that purpose.
