Learning outcomes

⎫ To know the basic values of the examination neurorehabilitation; ⎫ To know and to know how to use the methodologies for the evaluation of the patient with neurological problems; ⎫ To correlate the theoretical knowledge with the data that come to light from the observation and evaluation of the patient; ⎫ To perform a physiotherapy diagnosis of neurological patient in order to set up the different stages of physiotherapy treatment

Program

⎫ introduction to the discipline ⎫ systemic theory: role of the nervous system as a fundamental component of the system male; ⎫ problems resulting from neurological disorders: alterations of superior cortical functions, sphincter continence, motor functions and sensitivity; ⎫ identification of the meaningful signs of alteration for the rehabilitation in different pathologies of nervous system: pyramidal syndrome, extrapyramidal, cerebellar, of lower motor neuron; ⎫ functional evaluation of patient with alteration in central nervous system; ⎫ functional evaluation of patient with alteration in peripheral nervous system; ⎫ neurological tests Suggested text M.

Examination Methods

To pass the examination, which will be done with an oral test, the student will have to:
- know how to describe the formalities to implement a functional evaluation of a patient with neurological lesion;
- know how to perform a differential evaluation of an impairment found during the functional evaluation;
- know the structural and functional impairments that characterize the neurological pathologies discussed during the lesson.
