Learning objectives

The course aims to provide students with the cognitive tools related to the pathophysiology applied to rehabilitation programs connected to the main musculoskeletal conditions of orthopedic concern as part of orthopedic-trauma surgery of the lower limb forming the pelvic girdle and the lumbosacral 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. Pathophysiology and rehabilitation programs related to the main musculoskeletal conditions of physiotherapy concern such as outcomes of orthopedic-traumatological surgery of the lower limb, pelvic girdle and lumbosacral spine. Physiopathology and classification of pain syndromes resulting from acute and chronic pathologies of rehabilitation interest. Major concepts of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine focused on the recovery from these disorders. PHYSICAL AND REHABILITATION MEDICINE 2: students will have to gain knowledge on Anatomy and Physiopathology related to the neuro-musculoskeletal dysfunctions of the lower limb, pelvic girdle and lumbo-sacral spine including pain syndromes resulting from acute and chronic pathologies of rehabilitation interest.
