Learning outcomes

The course aims to encourage the acquisition of the ability to build and conduct innovative and transferable research projects in the patient's daily life, starting from clinical questions designed in compliance with the principles of bioethics and the logic of clinical reasoning, according to the sending of the project to the ethics committee.

ADVANCED RESEARCH IN DATA BANKS Learning objectives: to know the principles of the EBM methodology; know how to use the tools necessary to acquire scientific evidence, in particular those for research and evaluation of evidence; reflect on the application of research results in clinical practice.
SCIENCE LOGIC AND PHILOSOPHY Educational objectives: - to acquire the basic knowledge of the fundamental gnoseological, methodological and epistemological problems of logic in relation to health sciences - to be able to apply the logical method to the clinical reasoning of rehabilitation practice.
METHODOLOGY OF TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH Learning outcomes: Understand the meaning of translational research and acquire the necessary knowledge for the drafting of research projects in the rehabilitation field.
EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH IN REHABILITATION Learning objectives: To be able to carry out a literature search using the specialized search engines and not. Apply the main research methods in rehabilitation with reference to the different types of experimental design (single case study, RCT etc). Acquire the main methods of execution of a research project and formulation of a data collection form. Transfer data to a spreadsheet and use simple methods of statistical analysis (graphical production, elementary analysis).
