Bibliography

Didactic methods

The lessons will be in presence, and will be exposed to students with the help of slides.
The slides will be delivered to the students at the end of each lesson.
During the lessons, practical parts will be presented with the folding of Manual Therapy techniques.

Learning assessment procedures

1) Written exam in progress + oral exam on a clinical case
1) Written exam in progress:
In the last half hour of lessons of the scheduled time, a training exam will be administered consisting of a few dozen multiple choice questions and three open questions.
The test will scrupulously focus on the materials delivered in pdf. and on the topics presented during the lesson hours.
Failure to pass the written exam does not preclude the possibility of taking the oral exam during the appeal.
2) Oral examination on a clinical case:
OBJECTIVES: During the session, the student will support an oral interview in which he will be asked to explain the theoretical contents learned in the lessons, justifying them by means of correct clinical reasoning.
CONTENTS: Knowledge of the topics explained in class will be required during the oral exam; these will then be contextualized in a simulation of clinical reasoning of a hypothetical patient with musculoskeletal disorder: in this simulation the student will have to expose and justify the correct collection of anamnestic information, the appropriate choice of evaluation tests and the best treatment progression.

Evaluation criteria

ASSESSMENT METHOD: the oral interview will last approximately 20-30 minutes per student and will be assessed out of thirty.
There are no different exam methods for attending and non-attending students.
