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.
