Learning objectives
The course aims to provide students with the cognitive tools related to the pathophysiology applied to the rehabilitation programs of the main musculoskeletal conditions of orthopedic concern as part of orthopedic-trauma surgery of the upper limb and the cervico-dorsal spine. Physiopathology and classification of pain syndromes resulting from acute and chronic pathologies of rehabilitation concern. Major concepts of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine focused on the recovery from these disorders. Elements for the design of braces, aids and orthoses, specific to the various body parts, each characterized by its own technical and morpho-functional peculiarities, in relation to the main neurological and orthopedic diseases. PHYSICAL AND REHABILITATION MEDICINE 1: Students will have to gain knowledge on the Anatomy and Physiopathology of neuro-musculoskeletal dysfunctions of the upper limb related to shoulder, elbow and hand pathologies, including pain syndromes resulting from acute and chronic pathologies of rehabilitation interest. Knowledge of the main methods of semiotic and functional evaluation. Theoretical and practical knowledge of the main outcome indicators to evaluate patients’ clinical improvement. Knowledge of the main concepts of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine focused on the recovery from these disorders. ORTOSE AND ORTHOPEDIC AIDS 1: Aimed at providing knowledge of medical pathologies for the creation of orthopedic aids and at applying theoretical knowledge to the technical-orthopedic practice. Knowledge of the issues connected to the process of designing and manufacturing specific products for the various areas related to healthcare, with particular stress on the properties of the materials used and on treatment techniques. Knowledge of morpho-functional detection techniques for the various body areas, employing both traditional and Cad Cam techniques. Principles of surgical and conservative treatment: overall knowledge; Synthesis of internal and external fixation devices. Casts, orthopedic and functional casts, braces. PATHOLOGIES OF THE UPPER LIMBS AND CERVICO-DORSAL SPINE: Students possess all relevant knowledge related to congenital, inflammatory, traumatic, degenerative and neoplastic pathologies of the upper limb and the cervical-dorsal spine.
