Learning outcomes

Examination of the main manifestations of acute and chronic-degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system with an in-depth analysis of the effects of lack of movement on the structures of the musculoskeletal system, identification of the rationale and modalities of the rehabilitative intervention, timely recognition of non-pertinent clinical pictures rehabilitation in view of the construction of an individual rehabilitation project and contextualized according to the biopsychosocial model

Program

Rehabilitation of osteoarticular diseases and bio-psycho-social model. Response of tissues to damage; clinical manifestations, evaluation and rehabilitative objectives of the inflammatory phase and of the pain in the acute phase. Deconditioning manifestations of the osteo-my-articular and ligament apparatus and rational of the rehabilitative intervention. Evaluation, rehabilitative and rational objectives of the rehabilitative intervention in the hypokinetic syndrome. Physical Therapy: physical characteristics, indications, contraindications and rational use of the main physical means in the pathologies of the musculoskeletal system. Use of assistive technologies: rational, methods and indications of use within the individual rehabilitation plan. Pathology of the spine: concepts of rehabilitative biomechanics, posture and joint stability, correlations between functional vertebra-disk unit and ergonomics of posture. Neck pain and spinal pathologies of the cervical spine: identification of the Red Flags; non-specific and rational neck pain of the rehabilitative intervention according to the evidence and guidelines.
