Description

The Physiotherapy Fundamentals subject is compulsory training for the Physiotherapy degree. In it, the foundations of Physiotherapy will be developed throughout history, both in its more procedural part and in basic theoretical aspects. The essential elements of the intervention of the future physiotherapist are described, taking into account the physical therapeutic principles, their application, the benefits and adverse effects, as well as the duration and frequency of interventions of the treatment proposed by the physiotherapist.

The subject is made up of theoretical classes and practical classes in small groups in the classrooms-gymnasium.

This subject aims to introduce the gender perspective in its content and development.

Evaluation system

 

Evaluation system Minimum weighting Maximum weighting
SE1. portfolios
electronic		 10% 40%
SE2. Oral presentation 20% 50%
SE3. Exam 30% 60%
SE4. Self evaluation 5% 30%
SE5. Evaluation between
equal (2P2) or
co-evaluation		 5% 30%

The total or partial copy in any of the learning activities will mean a "Not Presented" in the subject, without option to present in the proof of recovery and without prejudice of the opening of a file for this reason.

Attendance and rules of conduct: Attendance in class without respecting the basic rules of hygiene and uniform dress may be sanctioned. During the practices in class and especially during the assessment tests, 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 in order to facilitate and correctly perform the manual palpation procedures and the execution of the evaluation tests, it will be necessary to wear appropriate clothing such as shorts and a top, considering that in many situations the anatomical region evaluated must be stripped of clothing to be able to observe and palpate the anatomical reliefs.

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 having to be taken again next year.
