Dr. Ramón Olivé Vilás; rolive@uic.es
Introduction
The subject of the Pathophysiology of Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System consists of three blocks: Traumatology., Rheumatology and First Aid.
PRESENTATION TRAUMATOLOGY BLOCK
The section of Traumatology within the subject of Pathophysiology of Locomotor System Conditions supports the teaching of how do the tissue structures make up the musculoskeletal system response to acute trauma and due to overload?. The basis for the evaluation of these pathological conditions, their treatment and the possibilities that Physiotherapy has to favour the process of repair and care of the patient, always based on scientific evidence, for their reintegration to their field activity.
RHEUMATOLOGY BLOCK
The subject of Rheumatology establishes a basis of knowledge of the osteoarticular pathology of non - traumatic etiology that is susceptible from Physiotherapy. Throughout this course students will acquire an overview and general knowledge that will facilitate relationships with other health professionals, providing a comprehensive point of view from the patient.
Objectives
OVERALL OBJECTIVES
- Capacity for analysis and synthesis.
- Decision-making process.
- Problem resolution.
- Teamwork.
- Critical thinking.
- Autonomous Learning.
- Ethical integrity and confidentiality.
SPECIFIC GOALS
- Identify the anatomical structures as the knowledge base of the healthy and injured patient.
- Understand the principles of biomechanics that can be the cause of a watery or overuse injury.
- Recognise the pathophysiology of lesions of acute and chronic lesions, identifying the manifestations that appear throughout the process. Know and develop the physical examination by body segments to assess the injured patient.
- Design the physiotherapy intervention plan, based on scientific evidence, based on personalization, validity and efficiency criteria and identify the changes produced because of the physiotherapy intervention.
- You will have a good knowledge of specific methods and techniques of current medical-surgical treatment of the most frequent injuries related to the locomotor system, to be able to apply the most appropriate physiotherapy technique at all times to facilitate the early recovery of the patient.

- Which treatments are most used for repairing injuries to the skeletal muscle system.
- What factors influence the regeneration, repair, healing of the tissues that make up the musculoskeletal system?
- Because some injuries deserve surgical treatment, what are the most appropriate procedures, advantages and disadvantages of theirs in the process of rehabilitation and functional recovery of the patient.

Students should understand the theoretical bases of the more frequent osteoarticular pathologies of origin in the field of non-traumatic Physiotherapy.
Know how to apply diagnostic techniques commonly used in the musculoskeletal system.

Teaching and learning activities
In person
Given the special circumstances of the Coronavirus Pandemic, the classes will be tried in person with small groups and will be coordinated with the theoretical-practical classes. As far as possible, we will try to record the session and leave the session hanging for a while on the platform to be consulted.
Evaluation systems and criteria
In person
- GENERAL SYSTEMS AND EVALUATION CRITERIA OF PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF DISORDERS OF THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
To pass the subject Pathophysiology of Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System, you must pass each of the blocks that make up the subject, ie Traumatology, Rheumatology and First Aid. The final grade. will be the weighted average of each of the grades that the student obtains in each of the blocks.
- EVALUATION SYSTEMS AND CRITERIA IN TRAUMATOLOGY BLOCK
Given the special circumstances of the Coronavirus Pandemic, the evaluation of the subject is reformed and a partial exam and a final exam will be divided. The midterm exam will consist of 20 test-type questions with 5 answer options and a single valid answer, the subject that enters for this exam will not be eliminated and will also enter the final exam. The final exam will have 30 test-type questions with 5 answer options and a single valid answer.
As the activity of the classes evolves and there may be negative points, each wrong question will subtract 0.25 points from the correct questions, for example, every 4 wrong questions will subtract 1 point from the correct questions.
The final grade will be obtained from the combination of the partial exam and the final exam; the partial exam will represent 30% of the grade and the final 70%.
The resit exam will consist of a test-type exam with 20 questions with 5 answer options and a single valid answer, there may be negative points, each wrong question will subtract 0.25 points from the correct questions, for example every 4 Wrong questions will subtract 1 point from the correct questions.
