ADVANCED METHODOLOGIES IN MUSCLE-SKELETAL PHYSIOTHERAPY AND RESEARCH INTRODUCTION (2021/2022)
The teaching is organized as follows:
Program
------------------------
MM: METODOLOGIA DELLA FISIOTERAPIA BASATA SULLE EVIDENZE
------------------------
1. What is Evidence based physical therapy= 2. Translation of clinical questions into question searchable in the litterature+ - Background and foreground questions - PICO model 3. Search strategy - Boolean operators - Use of the brackets 4. Clinical reserach's architecture - Primary studies - Secondary studies - Traditional sources 5. 5S's model - Systems - Evidence - based textbooks - Databases for Clinical practice guidelines - Databases for Systematic reviews - Databases for Primary studies 6. Critical appraisal - Internal validity - External validity - Clinical relevance 7. Critical appraisal of systematic review - Main sources of bias - Meta - analysis 8. Critical appraisal of randomzied controlled trials - Main sources of bias
------------------------
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
------------------------
Probability distributions - Binomial distribution - Gauss distribution - T Student - chi squared distribution Statistical inference: - Sampling - Central limit theorem - point estimate; - confidence interval - statistical test (t and chi squared) - Epidemiological measurement (prevalence, cumulative incidence, incidence, RR and OR)
------------------------
MM: STRATEGIE AVANZATE DI TERAPIA MANUALE NEI DISORDINI MUSCOLOSCHELETRICI
------------------------
- ICF: the code, how to use it in clinical practice - Manual Terapy techniques: how to modulate and choose the appropriate techniques based on the patient’s health status - Physiopathology of connective tissue: healing phases and treatment techniques - Neurodynamics: physiopathology of the peripheral nervous system – provocative tests and treatment techniques of the upper extremity and lower extremity. - Cervical and lumbar radicular syndrome - Concept of funtional instability: clinical reasoning and assessment: kinetic chains and muscular chains inserted in therapeutic exercise. - Pain: definition and basic mechanisms. Difference between nociceptive pain, neuropathic pain, and pain from central sensitization - Low Back pain and Neck Pain: definition, assessment, outcome measures and treatment of the cervical and lumbar areas - Simulated clinical cases of the various pathologies discussed

Examination Methods
------------------------
MM: METODOLOGIA DELLA FISIOTERAPIA BASATA SULLE EVIDENZE
------------------------
Written exam: - Four open questions on the PICO and the building of search strategies - Three multiple choice questions on the architecture of clinical research - Six open questions on the critical appraisal of clinical trials and systematic reviews - Two open questions on meta - analysis - Three multiple choiche questions on the evidence based practice, the 5S's model and the critical appraisal

Oral test
------------------------
MM: STATISTICA INFERENZIALE IN RICERCA CLINICA
------------------------
The final test is a written exam with short answer questions and multiple choice questions. The aim of the test is to verify the knowledge of all the topics discussed. The final evaluation is expressed in thirtieths.
