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.
