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.

No prerequisites are required.

• 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.

• 01 - The ability to analysis and synthesis.
• 02 - The ability to organise and synthesize
• 06 - To have comprehensive problem-solving skills.
• 07 - Demonstrate decision-making skills.
• 09 - Demonstrate critical thinking skills.
• 10 - Develop autonomous learning skills.
• 14 - Demonstrate initiative and an entrepreneurial spirit.
• 15 - Demonstrate a concern for quality.
• 29.1 - Demonstrate a committment to ongoing learning and self-improvement.
• 30.1 - Teamwork skills.
• 42 - Knowledge of main physiotherapeutic procedures: kinesitherapy, massage, electrotherapy, magnetotherapy, ergotherapy, hydrotherapy, balneotherapy, climatotherapy, thalassotherapy, thermotherapy, cryotherapy, vibrotherapy, phototherapy, pressotherapy and subtypes of other physical treatments.
• 49 - Ability to design a physiotherapy treatment plan.
• 50.1 - Ability to establish and implement physical therapy in treatments provided by all other medical and surgical specialties whenever it is deemed necessary.
• 50.4 - Ability to design and apply different electrotherapy modalities, thermotherapy and cryotherapy, phototherapy, ultrasound therapy, vibrotherapy, magnet therapy, ergotherapy and pressotherapy.
• 50.9 - Ability to prevent and avoid risk when applying treatment.

Students:

• Understand theoretical and physiological basis of massage therapy.
• Understand the theoretical foundations and the physiological basis that demonstrate the therapeutic effects of the following procedures in Physiotherapy: thermotherapy, electrotherapy, vibrotherapy, magnet therapy, phototherapy, laser therapy and biofeedback.
• Apply therapeutic procedures related to thermotherapy, electrotherapy, vibrotherapy, laser therapy and biofeedback.
• Design procedures and formulate intervention objectives relating to the procedures described, based on the presentation of clinical cases.
• Understand the importance of patient adherence to therapeutic intervention and the need to encourage their participation in the development of objectives and recovery process.
• Maintain an attitude of motivation and improvement in their learning process.

Topic 1. General concepts of electrophysiology and electrothermotherapy
Topic 2. Low frequency currents
Topic 3. Approach of Pain and Physical-therapeutic Agents
Topic 4. Medium frequency currents
Topic 5. Muscular strengthening through the application of electric currents (Electro-Neuromuscular Stimulation)
Topic 6. High frequency currents. Deep thermotherapy
Topic 7. Ultrasound
Topic 8 and 9. Diathermy - TECAR (Capacitive and Resistive Transfer) and Microwave
Topic 10. Laser therapy. Radiofrequency Phototherapy. Magnet therapy Biofeedback and Vibrotherapy, Short Wave and Shockwaves.

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.

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 will be able to subtract and will have a value of 80% A part of the development of a topic (case report) with a value of 20%.

Practical Blog (70%):

60% of the qualification will be related to the continuous assessment of the execution of real tasks and the resolution of exercises and problems related to the presentation of clinical cases on the different therapeutic physical agents used.

10% of the qualification will be related to the evaluation of the activities and guided tasks (self-learning) that the student will perform in the self-study room. The delivery of this self-learning activity will be done individually via Moodle. The NO delivery of the same or outside the established period will be compatible with 0 points in this section.

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 the students suspended in the 1st call to be submitted to the 2nd call, the assessment will be: A written test that will consist of a test type with a value of 80% of the total of the test and a part of the development of a subject (clinical case) with a value of 20% of the total of the test.

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. Based on the aforementioned, lack of assistance can only be produced in exceptional cases, motivated by major causes and, in any circumstance, if they exceed 20% of the training load, they will oblige the student to return To realize the enrollment of this subject in the following academic course, without existing the possibility of being examined in the second call. The consequences derived from failure to comply with this regulation may 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.
