Movement Therapy II

Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, biophysics, equipment and technology in physiotherapy, studies of human movement, neuroscience and pathophysiology.

The adopted pedagogical methods and strategies include: lecture; demonstration/exemplification of techniques with simulated practice among students; and problem solving.
The student support and monitoring mechanisms include face-to-face or at distance assistance for answering questions and problem solving.

– To have the knowledge and ability of understanding in the field of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, and Bobath concept;
– To know how to apply the acquired knowledge and ability of understanding in the therapeutic intervention through movement;
– To have ability to plan, organize and conduct therapeutic interventions through movement, in the field of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, and Bobath concept;
– To have ability to correctly execute the basic procedures and the specific techniques of therapeutic intervention through movement, in the field of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation,  and Bobath concept (in adults and children);
– To develop skills to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions arising from the therapeutic intervention through movement, in the field of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, constraint induced movement therapy and Bobath concept;
– To develop learning skills in the field of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, constraint induced movement therapy and Bobath concept.

-Identify the typical movement components of the different postural sets and basic movement sequences;

-Develop Physiotherapy Intervention Skills in Assessment of Adults with Neurophysiological Devices Based on Neurophysiology and movement components;

-Fundamental importance of the knowledge of neurophysiology and the typical human in the intervention of the physiotherapist in neurological alterations;

-Recognize the role of somatosensory, visual and vestibular afferent information in motor control;

-Understand the interrelationship between postural control and movement;

-Apply the neurophysiology of motor control to physical therapist intervention

1. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)- (20h)

– Introduction to proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation;

– Principles and procedures;

– Specific techniques;

– Patient treatment;

– Unilateral patterns of facilitation;

– Bilateral patterns of facilitation.

2- Adult Bobath Concept (20h)

– Introduction to the concept of contemporary Bobath Adults;

– Typical movement components of postural sets (sitting and standing), postural transitions (sitting to standing, standing to sitting, sitting to supine, supine to sitting) and basic movement sequences such as gait, reach and object manipulation.

– Application of the principles of sensorimotor facilitation suitable for different movement sequences.

– Development of clinical reasoning based on movement analysis and the specificity of different neurological conditions.

– Development of a physical therapy intervention plan in individuals with neurological pathology.

3. Bobath Concept in Pediatrics (20h)

– Introduction to the Bobath Concept in Pediatrics

– Basic principles,

– Postural control in child development

– Facilitation – facilitation techniques

– Facilitation sequences in the different postural sets

– Practice of different techniques, handling (handling) in the various postural sets in the child.

– Strategies to enhance the facilitation of the child’s abilities with reference to the adjacent clinical picture.
