Movement Therapy IV

Base Knowledge

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

Teaching Methodologies

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.

 

Learning Results

a) Possess knowledge and ability to understand in the areas of functional training for the person with great disability and the person with amputation and aquatic physiotherapy;

b) Know how to apply the acquired knowledge and understanding skills, in order to demonstrate a professional approach to the physiotherapy intervention cycle / physiotherapy process;

c) Ability to solve problems within the areas of functional training for people with great disabilities and people with amputations and aquatic physiotherapy, and to build and justify their own arguments;

d) Ability to collect, select and interpret relevant information, particularly in the areas of functional training for the person with a great disability and the person with amputation and aquatic physiotherapy, enabling them to support the solutions they advocate and the judgments they make, including in analyzing the relevant social, scientific and ethical aspects;

e) Skills that allow them to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions, particularly in the areas of functional training for people with great disabilities and people with amputations and aquatic physiotherapy, both to audiences made up of specialists and non-specialists;

f) Learning skills, particularly in the areas of functional training for people with great disabilities and people with amputations and aquatic physiotherapy, which allow them to learn throughout their lives with a high degree of autonomy.
