Movement Therapy I

Anatomy, Physiology, Biophysics, Study of Human Movement.

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 areas of therapeutic exercise and global postural re-education;

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 areas of therapeutic exercise and global postural re-education, and to build and substantiate their own arguments;

d) Ability to collect, select and interpret relevant information, particularly in the areas of therapeutic exercise and global postural re-education, enabling them to base the solutions they advocate and the judgments they issue, including in the analysis the relevant social, scientific and ethical aspects ;

e) Skills that communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to them, particularly in the areas of therapeutic exercise and global postural re-education, both to audiences made up of specialists and non-specialists;

f) Learning skills, particularly in the areas of therapeutic exercise and global postural re-education, which indicate lifelong learning with a high degree of autonomy.
