The student will improve knowledge of the pathophysiology of the neuro-musculoskeletal disorders including pain syndromes resulting from acute and chronic diseases, relevant in rehabilitation. The student will acquire knowledge of functional assessment to identify neuro-musculoskeletal dysfunctions resulting in acute and chronic diseases related to recovery. The student will be able to define the rehabilitative goals and understand the treatment plan of neuro-musculoskeletal disorders including the pain syndromes, in a multidisciplinary team environment.
