Introduction

Bearing in mind the role of the physiotherapist in the professional field, it is essential that students have their first practical contact from the start of their studies. The syllabus is distributed in different thematic blocks and provides the student with manual skills, theoretical and practical knowledge as well as the fundamentals necessary for the further development of more specific techniques that will be acquired along the course of the degree. The theoretical and practical part consists of two parts. In the first part, students will develop how to examine articulation and muscle balance of the upper extremities. In the second, the same procedures are applied in the lower extremities as well as in the vertebral column. Likewise, students will learn a set of tests specific to evaluation that will be useful during patient examination.

Pre-course requirements

Completion of Physiotherapy Evaluation 1

Objectives

. Learn the evaluation process and diagnosis of a patient within the Physiotherapy field.

. Learn the theoretical basis of assessment procedures in physiotherapy.

. Learn the international evaluation system standards and identify the functional evaluation instruments necessary in Physiotherapy.


. Know the application of functional evaluation procedures in relation to the assessment of muscle strength, range of motion, functional capabilities and vital capacity.


. Learn to identify functional alterations and disabilities that can be found in patients in the health care-related processes of Physiotherapy
. Be able to complete an evaluation register, which serves to document data in the patient's Physiotherapy clinical records.

Competences/Learning outcomes of the degree programme

- Apply appropriate functional evaluation procedures related to the assessment of muscle strength, range of motion, functional capabilities and vital capacity.

- Identify the functional alterations and disabilities in the processes related to Physiotherapy care, while identifying the needs of the patient / user in order to establish priority in the health care attention during the recovery process.

- Appropriately record significant data in the clinical records of the Physiotherapy evaluation.

- Prepare a discharge report in Physical Therapy.

- Maintain an attitude of motivation and improvement in the learning process.

Syllabus

- Theoretical basis of Physical therapy assessment, evaluation and diagnosis procedures.

- Concepts of functional assessment in Physiotherapy, evaluation of independence and activities of daily life.

Teaching and learning activities

In person



Rules on theoretical and practical subjects:

· Punctuality is essential for the correct development of the classes at the start and completion of the subjects. Students must attend class in the appropriate dress code: UIC scrubs or UIC tracksuit. They must also wear UIC shorts and top (in women's case). Otherwise, the student may not enter the class and the missed class will be considered an unexcused absence. In the event there is a seminar, it will be previously announced and students may dress accordingly.

· It is necessary that at the end of the class, students collaborate to restore the gym to the previous state it was found in: correct placement of chairs, stools, wedges, rollers, mattresses ... We should note that gyms are common spaces for different degree courses, postgraduate courses and other situations in which are required by the University.

· Regarding the development of teaching in gyms, it should be noted that the theoretical and practical subjects contain consistent educational activities in maneuvers or manipulations that, with teacher supervision, are to be done in groups of three (groups are made between the students). This often requires revealing certain areas of the body. These circumstances can lead to uncomfortable situations or hurt the sensitivity or sense of modesty of students as well as comments or interpretations that, outside the professional environment or in the field of families, could cause negative results ethically or morally.

Therefore, it is the professor's responsibility to make sure the following rules are honored:

· Students should be informed regarding the dress code necessary for the completion of the workshops. Under no circumstances will students be allowed to change in gyms for the completion of practical activities. If at any moment a theoretical explanation occurs, the students must wear the uniform or tracksuit.
· It is necessary to instill in students a professional mentality related to respect for privacy and patient (student) values towards those who are cared for, by cutting out any kind of joke, derogatory comment or trivialization on the subject.
· The use of the gym for practice outside school hours must be authorized and supervised by a professor of the Physiotherapy Degree.

All these measures aim at respecting the fact that gyms are dynamic and organized spaces, facilitating the activity of teachers and the correct use of them by students.

Attendance to theoretical and practical subjects is mandatory in its entirety. Attendance to at least 70% of classes is required if students want to be assessed in any of the blocks of the subject. Failure to comply with these criteria by students will result in a "Not Present (NP)" on the examination, and no possibility of doing the first resit.

If this standard is not met, the case will be addressed in the Board of Physical Therapy and they will decide whether the student should be evaluated in the 1st resit or repeat the practice training in the following academic year.

Evaluation systems and criteria

In person



The subject will be evaluated as follows:

1st call:

Written exam the week of exams: 40%. It will be a test-type exam.

Continuous practical assessment: 45%. During the school period there will be a practical test in pairs where students will be asked about two assessment techniques worked on during the academic course. They will have to do the practical execution simulating the patient evaluation.

Partial exam: 15% online exam type test which includes all the syllabus taught so far.


2ª call: Practical examination of 3 questions: 1 of Muscle Balance, 1 of Articular Balance and 1 of specific proofs of the content of all the asignatura, also of self-learning. During the exam, theoretical questions may arise regarding the practical topic.

0 - 4.9 Suspended

5.0 - 6.9 Approved

7.0 - 8.9 Notable
