The course is divided into two blocks, a theoretical one and a practical one.
Theoretical block: Neurological Physiotherapy
Neurology is a field of action of physiotherapy that is becoming increasingly important. The growing number of people suffering from car accidents, injuries that occur in the workplace (in construction), sports injuries and other medical types (vascular, tumor, degenerative diseases) that produce great physical and mental disabilities create the need for physical therapists to help, guide and encourage the patient to recovery of functional capabilities that have been altered by the injury.
Practical Block: Neurological Evaluation Seminar
Patient neurological assessment is the first step of the journey to design and develop the physicalt treatment treatment of patient. It is a process of interpretation intended to show the residual self-organizing abilities and possibilities of evolution. It serves to understand what functions have been affected by the injury, how they have been altered and how they can be recovered. Thanks to this patient's assessment, we can establish a prognosis, from which we can propose objectives and develop the patient's treatment.

Theoretical block: Neurological Physiotherapy (60% of the final grade)
- Theoretical exam (90%)
-Grupal work (10%),It will always score if the theoretical exam is approved with a 4.
To pass the block it is necessary with at least a 5
Practical block: Neurologic evaluation Seminar (40% of the final grade)
- Continuous assessment (40%)
- Team work (30%)
- Practical exam (30%)
To pass the seminar, it is mandatory to obtain at least a 5 in each of the blocks (continuous assessment, theoretical exam, practical exam). If a student obtains less than a 4 in any block, the average of the 3 blocks will result in the failing mark will remain for overall mark of the subject.To pass the block it is necessary to approve the practical seminar the grade of approved in a 5 or higher.
It is compulsory to attend at least 80% of the classes of the seminar.
The grading system is in accordance with the regualtions in force. Currently, according to RD 1.125/2003 of September 5:
0 to 4.9: Fail/F (Suspenso in Spanish)
5.0 to 6.9: Pass/C (Aprobado in Spanish).
7.0 to 8.9: B (Notable in Spanish)
A (Sobresaliente in Spanish) 9.0 to 10
The mention of "Honors" can be granted to students whose grade has been equal or higher than 9.0. Their number may not exceed 5% of students enrolled in a subject in the corresponding academic year, unless the number of students is less that 20, in which case it may be granted only to one student. .
Attendance Regulations
The subjects in the Physiotherapy Degree present theoretical and practical content in which the main objective is the acquisition and development of procedures and technical skills that are directly related to the professional practice. These classes are structed in small groups where there is direct and continuous supervision of the teacher. Therefore, attendance to seminars is considered essential and necessary to ensure the acquisition of these skills. Based on what has been presented above, absences will only be excused to those who have missed class due to major causes and even under these circumstances, if they miss more than 20% of the training work, students will have to retake the subject in the next academic year, without the possibility of a resit.The consequences derived from non-compliance with this regulation can have very negative effects directly related to the registration process (overlapping and / or academic incompatibilities), as well as the corresponding expectations in the completion of the Degree.
