Description


Advanced Neurorehabilitation Methods (4 ECTS) aims to be a subject that allows students to discover different concepts, methodologies, techniques or strategies in the field of neurological patient treatment.

Neurological diseases have a major impact on our society. According to the SEN (Sociedad Española de Neurología), 9 of the 15 most common diseases among people with a recognized disability in Spain are neurological. The main objective of the subject is to acquire the basic knowledge of the different concepts and methods of approach currently available to the physiotherapist dedicated to the neurological patient. It aims for the student to be able to identify what their role is within an interdisciplinary team that deals with all the spheres affected by the person. In this sense, we want to delve deeper into certain pathologies that present a significant proportion of people and which, perhaps due to their complexity, were not studied in depth during the course. These and other people affected by neurological disorders will be candidates to be treated through the approaches that are the subject of study in this subject.

The distribution of the theoretical and/or practical content of the subject can be consulted in the timetable and sections of the corresponding virtual classroom before it starts. 

This subject aims to introduce the gender perspective in its content and development. In addition, the objectives are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations

The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or towards teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer prejudice from others.

Contents


1- Rehabilitation in peripheral facial paralysis

2- Techniques based on mirror neurons

3- BAPNE and music therapy in neurorehabilitation

4- Approaches at the different functional levels of LM.

5- Therapy restriction of the healthy side

6- Respiratory physiotherapy in the neurological patient

7- New technologies applied to neurorehabilitation

8- Dual Task

Evaluation system


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

Activity Weighting
SE1. Electronic portfolio  10 - 40% 
SE2. Oral presentation  20 - 50% 
SE3. Exam  30 - 60%
SE4. Self evaluation 5 - 30%
SE5. Peer evaluation 5 - 30%

 

A quantitative (from 0 to 10) and qualitative grading system (failed, passed, notable, excellent, honor roll) is used according to RD 1125/2003. 

The subjects will have evaluation and recovery activities in accordance with the teaching guide and the subject's learning plan, published in their virtual classroom and which will establish the necessary requirements to be able to participate. 

In accordance with current UPF regulations, all students who, having participated in learning and assessment activities during the term, have obtained a failing grade for the corresponding subject in the quarterly assessment, may participate in the recovery process . Those who have not participated in the learning and assessment activities or who have waived the assessment will not be able to participate. If the grade is "not presented", you will not be able to opt for recovery and therefore the subject will have to be taken again in its entirety in the following academic year.

In the event of copying, plagiarism or illegitimate use of generative artificial intelligence in any assessment activity, you must consult the TecnoCampus University Center's Undergraduate and Master's Course Assessment Regulations.
