Learning objectives

The course aims to provide students with the fundamental elements on the pathophysiological basis of the endocrine system and skeletal metabolism, metabolic diseases of the skeleton, with particular reference to exercise even at high altitudes and the importance of physical activity in endocrine pathologies with skeletal involvement. Mountain medicine. Students will be able to define and describe the syndromes and pathologies that affect the CNS and peripheral of interest for the discipline. Students will acquire overview of semiotics related to the most common neurological diseases and both diagnostic and therapeutic problems of the neurological patient. Identify, through the use of clinical neurophysiology, the pathological mechanisms responsible for the most important syndromes and explain their symptomatology through the clinical signs analysis as a function of an approach aimed at rehabilitation. Acquire the elements for understanding the pathophysiology of functional alterations resulting from neurological pathologies and their impact on the person's social life and participation. Knowing the mechanisms of functional recovery. Identifying and relating the clinical signs and symptoms to the main pathologies of the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems. Knowing the main types of orthoses and aids in the field of pathologies of neurological interest. METABOLIC DISEASES AND EXERCISE: The main objective of the course is to deal with the topics from the pathophysiological bases of the endocrine system and skeletal metabolism, metabolic diseases of the skeleton, with particular reference to physical exercise and the importance of physical activity in endocrine disorders with skeletal involvement. NEUROLOGY: To provide basic knowledge regarding neurology, neurotraumatology and neuroimaging, clinical neurophysiology, methodology of treatment of neurological disorders and chronic disabilities. ORTHOTES AND ORTHOPEDIC AIDS 3: Knowing the different types of orthoses and specific aids to compensate for functional deficits resulting from pathologies affecting the CNS and PNS. NEUROLOGICAL REHABILITATION: To provide basic knowledge on the rehabilitation of neurological dysfunctions resulting from pathologies affecting the CNS and PNS. Strategies for rehabilitative treatment of sensory-motor disorders resulting from cerebrovascular pathologies, neuro injuries and neurodegenerative diseases.
