Introduction

In the event that the health authorities announce a new period of confinement due to the evolution of the health crisis caused by COVID-19, the teaching staff will promptly communicate how this may effect the teaching methodologies and activities as well as the assessment.


General Procedures in Physiotherapy 2 aims to provide different methods of knowledge to the students on areas such as Electrothermal, magnet therapy, vibrotherapy, phototherapy, laser therapy and biofeedback with a focus on the student to manipulate the different devices safely and within reasonable parameters of utilization.

Pre-course requirements

No prerequisites are required.

Objectives

  • Give training to students in theoretical and practical application of the various devices used in electrotherapy and deep thermotherapy, different application techniques to use while reflecting and choosing the most appropriate parameters regarding the pathology to be treated.
  • Understand what physiological responses are produced and what interactions they can have on the individual during their rehabilitation process.
  • Provide theoretical and practical learning of the main techniques in Electrothermaltherapy that will give students the ability to choose between different therapeutic physical agents, depending on the clinical case and its appropriate approach.

Teaching and learning activities

In person



This is principally a face-to-face course; lessons are held in the classrooms of the University where theoretical and practical seminars are conducted. The methodology used will be lectures, case method studies and resolution of exercises and problems proposed in class.

In semi-attendance distance learning, the student should individually complete the independent study activities using the independent study and assessment room of the University; the methodology used will be their learning contract with the purpose of developing skills in individual study.

Non-presential students should develop an independent form of study for the course.

Evaluation systems and criteria

In person



Theoretical blog (30%):

The qualification will correspond with the evaluation by means of written tests related to the treated contents (Final Exam). In this block the written tests will consist of a part of type where the incorrect option of answer.

Practical Blog (70%):

- 10% participacion clase y asistencia - 10% exposicion articulo clase - 10% exposicion caso clase - 40% examen oral+practica

 

These 2 theoretical and practical blocks must be approved separately (Note 5). The final grade of the subject of PGIF II will be the average of the 2 blocks counting as already mentioned in the previous section (30 % Theory and 70% Practice).

For students suspended in the 1st call that must be submitted to the 2nd call, the evaluation will be of the corresponding block that has either the theoretical or the practical block suspended.

If in the 2nd call one of the 2 blocks (theoretical or practical) or both blocks is not passed, the student must complete the entire subject (theoretical block + practical block) in the next academic year.

The system of qualifications will be used in accordance with current legislation. Currently, according to RD 1,125 / 2003 of September 5.

0-4.9 Suspensions.

5.0-6.9 Approved.

7.0-8.9 Notable.

9,0-10 Excellent.

 

The mention of "Honor Matrícula" will be able to be granted to the students who have obtained a qualification equal or superior to 9.0. Their number may not exceed 5% of students enrolled in a subject in the corresponding academic year, unless the number of students enrolled is less than 20, in which case a single Honor Matriculation can be granted.

Assistance regulations

Physiotherapy degree subjects that present theoretical-practical contents have as their main objective the acquisition and development of procedures and technical skills related directly to the practical practice of the profession. This is the reason that determines the structure of these classes, in small groups with the direct and continuous supervision of the teacher of the subject. Therefore, attendance at seminars is considered essential and necessary to ensure the acquisition of these competencies. On the basis of the aforementioned, the lack of assistance can only be produced in exceptional cases, motivated by major causes and, in any circumstance, if they exceed 30% of the training load, they will oblige the student to present Be examined in the second call. The consequences derived from failure to comply with this regulation can have very negative effects directly related to the enrollment process (overlaps and / or academic incompatibilities), and with the corresponding temporary forecast for the completion of the Degree studies.
