Description

A theoretical-practical subject is presented that allows the student to discover different concepts, methodologies, techniques or strategies in the area of ​​the urogynecological patient. 

The main objective of the subject is to acquire the basic knowledge of the different concepts and methods of approach that we currently have at our disposal, as well as for the student to be able to identify his role within a multidisciplinary team and achieve the following learning objectives:

- To know the anatomy and physiology involved in the pelvic floor. 

- Identify the different uro-gine-coloproctological pathologies. 

- Carry out an external assessment of the patient (not intracavitary).

- Design and carry out an action protocol based on the dysfunction presented in the subject.

- Carry out group work plans 

- Design prevention strategies 

- Search and application of validated tools for use at the clinical level.

The theoretical and practical content of this subject aims to provide a vision based on clinical evidence and supported by published scientific evidence. 

This subject ensures that we communicate and work with respect for diversity, equity and gender equality.

This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured.

The TecnoCampus will make available to teachers and students the digital tools needed to carry out the course, as well as guides and recommendations that facilitate adaptation to the non-contact mode.

Learning outcomes

- Identify the main treatments used in physiotherapy interventions for each of the clinical specialties.

- Classify them according to their effect and importance and establish order of priorities in their therapeutic application.

- Analyze the effects produced by the interventions. It evaluates benefits and risks and establishes an intervention criterion based on the priorities and effects pursued.

- Analyzes the patient's expectations for each of the clinical specialties with respect to their evolution, demands and needs. 

- Establish the intervention protocol based on the joint negotiation between therapist and patient.

- Assess the physical and mental state of the patient. It determines the level of severity, dysfunctions, handicaps and limitations both at the individual and social level.

- Apply technologies for patient assessment. It incorporates new measurement instruments that facilitate the objectification of interventions. Participates in the validation of assessment tools for their incorporation into clinical practice. 

- Carry out the specific physiotherapeutic diagnosis for each of the clinical specialties in order to determine the dysfunctions and disabilities that will require a specific physiotherapy intervention.

 - Interact with other health and physical activity professionals to establish an intervention plan based on the specific clinical diagnoses of each of the professions

 - Interact with medical professionals to increase therapeutic effectiveness. Establish joint intervention objectives.
