Competencies / Learning Outcomes

Specific skills

  • RAE1 - It will integrate the principles and theories of physical agents being applied as interventions in physiotherapy, care practice documents and clinical simulation.
     

  • RAE15 - He will design the different modalities and general procedures of intervention in Physiotherapy applying Massage Therapy, Electrotherapy, Magnetotherapy, Hydrotherapy, Balneotherapy, Climate Therapy, Thalassotherapy, Thermotherapy, Cryotherapy, Vibrotherapy, Phototherapy, Pressotherapy, therapies derived from other physical agents, as well as fundamental aspects of Ergotherapy and other related therapies in the field of competence of physiotherapy, in practical seminars and in external academic practices.
     

  • RAE16 - It will prepare the most appropriate physiotherapeutic treatment in the different processes of alteration, prevention and promotion of health in the phases of growth and development, applying the guidelines of good clinical practice.
     

  • RAE17 - You will be able to identify the patient/user situation through a diagnosis of physiotherapy care, planning the interventions, and evaluating their effectiveness in a cooperative work environment with other professionals in health sciences.
     

  • RAE18 - You will apply the specific methods and techniques related to the locomotor system (including manual therapies, joint manipulative therapies, therapeutic exercise) to neurological processes, the respiratory system, the cardiocirculatory system and alterations of static and dynamics in the practical seminars.
     

Presentation of the subject

The subject of latest techniques in sports physiotherapy aims to give students the necessary knowledge to carry out rigorous physiotherapeutic assistance within the sports field, both preventively and in the treatment of injured athletes. The main injuries in terms of muscle, tendon and ligament will be studied and the main means of recovery in each of the recovery phases of the effort. Within the subject there is a practical content where the techniques of sports massage and functional bandages will be developed.

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

Contents

Topic 1. Major muscle injuries in sport. Diagnosis and treatment of physiotherapy.

Item 2. Major tendon injuries in sport. Diagnosis and treatment of physiotherapy.

Topic 3. The main ligament injuries in sport. Diagnosis and treatment of physiotherapy.

Subject 4. Measures of recovery of the effort.

Item 5. Functional and neuromuscular bandages in sport.

Activities and evaluation system

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

Evaluation system Minimum weighting Weighting maximum
SE1. Electronic portfolio 10% 40%
SE2. Oral presentation 20% 50%
SE3. Exam 30% 60%
SE4. Self evaluation 5% 30%
SE5. Peer evaluation (2P2) or co-evaluation 5% 30%

A system of quantitative (from 0 to 10) and qualitative (suspended, approved, notable, excellent, honorary registration) is used according to RD 1125/2003.  

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 to facilitate and carry out the practical procedures in a correct way, it will be necessary to wear appropriate clothing such as shorts and a top, considering that in many situations the anatomical region evaluated will have to be stripped of clothing to to be able to observe and feel 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.
