Subject type: Mandatory

Coordinator: Marc Terradellas Fernández

Trimester: Second term

Credits: 4

• Catalan
• Spanish

The Skeletal Muscle Physiotherapy subject is mandatory training for the Physiotherapy Degree.

It will develop the main physical therapies for the treatment and intervention of musculoskeletal conditions.

Therefore, the subject consists of 2 interrelated blocks, which are indicated below:

Practical block:

-Stretching seminar

-Seminar of physical therapeutic agents (Electrothermotherapy)

In the teaching and teaching of this subject, he takes care to introduce and take into account the perspective of gender and sex in the teaching of his seminars given the differences in mobility-flexibility in the involvement in sex.

Electrotherapy:

Topic 1-General concepts on the use of physical therapeutic agents (Electrothermotherapy): Parameters, Classification of currents, etc.

Topic 2-Low Frequency Currents (single-phase and two-phase currents); galvanic direct current, faradic and neofaradic currents, exponential currents, symmetric and asymmetric biphasic currents, high voltage currents, Trabert's ultra-exciting currents, Bernard's dynamic currents; TEN currents / Practical applications through clinical cases

Topic 3-Medium Frequency Currents: Interferential Currents; Russian or Kotz stimulation currents. / Practical applications through clinical cases

Topic 4-Muscle strengthening through the application of electric currents (Neuromuscular Electrostimulation - EENM)./ Practical applications through clinical cases

Topic 5-High Frequency Currents (Ultrasounds-US)./ Practical applications through clinical cases

Topic 6-Application of combined therapy: US + Low and Medium frequency currents. / Practical applications through clinical cases

Topic 7-Introduction to Radio Frequency: Practical demonstrations of the Ttransference Eelectric Capassive and Rexisting (Tecartherapy)

Stretches:

Topic 1: Theoretical bases of musculotendinous stretching (definition, classification)

Topic 2: Practical application of analytical muscle stretching

Topic 3: Practical application of self-stretching muscles and tendons 

This subject may consider the following indicators detailed in the table in the evaluation proposal:

• A system of quantitative (from 0 to 10) and qualitative (suspended, approved, notable, excellent, honorary registration) is used according to RD 1125/2003.  
• Total or partial copying in any of the learning activities will mean a "Not Presented" in the subject, without the option to take the recovery test and without prejudice to the opening of a file for this reason. "
• According to UPF regulations, students who have the option of retrieving the subject are those who have obtained a “suspended” grade, which are the only ones that can be modified in the recovery process.  
• The evaluation system and recovery period are detailed in the Learning Plan available in the virtual classroom at the beginning of the subject.

Assistance and Rules of Conduct

Attending class without respecting the basic rules of hygiene and uniform dress may be sanctioned. During the practices in class and especially during the maneuvers and practical procedures, students may not wear objects that could interfere with the execution of the techniques, such as rings, watches, bracelets, long earrings, etc. Likewise, hand hygiene will be essential, with short, clean, unpainted nails. Given the practical nature of the classes and to facilitate and correctly perform the procedures with the different equipment, instruments and electrotherapy material and the execution of the different stretching procedures, it will be necessary to wear appropriate clothing such as shorts and top, considering that in many situations the anatomical region evaluated will have to be stripped of clothing to be able to observe and identify the reliefs and anatomical structures. It is an essential requirement to attend 80% of each of the practical blocks. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in the subject being suspended and must be taken again next year.
