Learning outcomes

Analyzing critically, from a historical and scientific point of view, the different theories of rehabilitation that led to different rehabilitation approaches. Know the principles behind the neurorehabilitation exam; correlate theoretical knowledge with the data that emerge from the observation and evaluation of the various functional systems of the patient. Know and know how to use the methodologies for the evaluation of the patient with neurological problems.
Knowing how to conduct physiotherapy evaluation and plan treatment in neurological diseases (eg Parkinson's disease, ALS, multiple sclerosis ...) by integrating specific therapeutic exercises with reflection on possible changes in environmental factors and on specific strategies of therapeutic education in persistent or degenerative situations . (Syllabus 18/19)

Examination Methods

There will be three evaluation moments:
First step: preparation of an ongoing report on an intervention strategy with respect to a neurological or neurodegenerative pathology
Second step: processing of three videos, which will be suitably uploaded to the dashboard within the terms shared at the beginning of the lesson. Two videos will relate to neurological assessment, one video will relate to a treatment proposal.
Third step: production of a poster, elaborated in group, on a neurological / neurodegenerative pathology, defined in class.

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