Program

------------------------
MM: METODOLOGIA DELLA FISIOTERAPIA BASATA SULLE EVIDENZE
------------------------
The course will cover the following topics: 1. What is an experimental research project 2. What are the critical issues of research in rehabilitation medicine 3. EBM and publication of scientific research 4. How to evaluate the quality of a research project METHODS Classroom meetings will involve lectures (with slides) and group discussions.

MM: LOGICA CLINICA E FILOSOFIA DELLA SCIENZA IN FISIOTERAPIA
------------------------
Definition of Logic Short story of Logic Uses and functions of language Informal fallacies of relevance Informal fallacies of ambiguity Deductive reasoning and related fallacies Inductive reasoning and calculation of probability Epistemology: the scientific method Non-conventional practices Limits of scientific knowledge
------------------------
MM: STATISTICA INFERENZIALE IN RICERCA CLINICA
------------------------
The course is structured in theoretical frontal lessons (10h). The teaching material is made available to the students on the e-learning web page of the course (Moodle platform). - Random variables - Gauss, Student's T and chi-squared distributions - An outline of sampling theory - Sample distribution of an estimator - Confidence interval of one mean and one proportion - The logic of the statistical test: null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis, type I and type II errors, power of a statistical test, p-value - Z, Student's T and chi-squared tests
------------------------
MM: STRATEGIE AVANZATE DI TERAPIA MANUALE NEI DISORDINI MUSCOLOSCHELETRICI
------------------------
LECTURES: - Manual therapy o definition, o history, o future prospects, o clinical reasoning, o Italian and global policy groups. - Articular techniques: o joint dysfunction: definitions, characteristics, etiology of joint stiffness; o spine mobilization and manipulation o therapeutic solutions: definitions, characteristics, indications and contraindications of the physiological mobilization, effect adverse and manipulations (HVLA); o the assessment parameters: the sequence pain / resistance / spasm, the "joint play", the "limit", the "tissue resistance in range"; o the treatment parameters: duration, frequency, velocity, intensity. - Myofascial techniques: o myofascial dysfunction: definition, characteristics, etiology of trigger points and tender points; o therapeutic solutions: definitions, characteristics, indications and contraindications of passive techniques (ischemic compression, trigger point pressure release, positional release therapy) and active (hold-relax, agonist-contraction); o the assessment parameters: the "taut band", the "twich response", the "jump's sign"; o the treatment parameters: duration, frequency, velocity, intensity. - Neural Techniques: o neural dysfunction: definition, characteristics, etiology of nerve problems and mechanical interface; o therapeutic solutions: definitions, characteristics, indications and contraindications of the data on the nerve and mechanical interface; o the assessment parameters: the resistance and the evocation of the symptoms. - Therapeutic exercises: o typology, posology, goal-oriented approach (force, resistance, coordination, aerobic). SKILL LAB PRACTICE: - Articular techniques: physiological and accessory mobilization of the upper and lower quadrant (evaluation and treatment of ankle, knee, hip, wrist, elbow, shoulder complex); - Myofascial techniques: identification and treatment of trigger points and tender points charged to the upper quadrant, and lower trunk (evaluation and treatment using ischemic compression, trigger point pressure release, positional release therapy, hold-relax, agonist-contraction); - Neural Techniques: upper and lower quadrant of neurotensione test (assessment and treatment using SLUMP, SLR, PKB, ULNT1). - Therapeutic Exercises: typology, posology, examples of goal-oriented approach (force, resistance, coordination, aerobic)

Examination Methods

The final test consists of 4 exams, one for each unit. To pass the final test, the student must get a score of not less than 18/30 in each exam. The final mark (in thirtieths) is the weighted average over credits of the 4 scores.

REQUIREMENT OF ACCESS TO EXAM To attend the exam, 75% of class hours are required. The presence in class will be recorded by signature. FEATURES OF THE EXAM The objective of the exam consists in verifying the level of achievement of the previously indicated training objectives. The exam will consist of a written test with multiple-choice or open questions taken from the topics discussed in class.

Goal: To pass the exam, students must demonstrate to: - know the theoretical contents of clinical reasoning; the articular, myofascial and neural evaluation and treatment; the therapeutic exercise; - know how to deliver articular, myofascial and neural evaluation and treatment techniques; - know how to plan and demonstrate therapeutic exercises. Contents: The contents of the exam cover all the topics discussed in the lesson and included in the program of this course. In summary: - clinical reasoning in manual therapy; - articular, myofascial and neural techniques (theoretical concepts, evaluation and treatment techniques); - the therapeutic exercise (theoretical concepts, the exercise of the exercise). Method of assessment: - oral and practical test (to test the theoretical knowledge and manual skills) by interview with the teacher and demonstration; Methods of assessment: - oral + practical test (score 0-30); There are no differences in exam between attending and non-attending students.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
