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)

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.

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 self-stretching muscles and tendons

Topic 3: Practical application of assisted muscle and tendon stretching

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

A quantitative (from 0 to 10) and qualitative grading system is used (failed, passed, outstanding, excellent, honor roll) 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 the learning and evaluation activities during the term, have obtained a failing grade in the corresponding subject in
the quarterly evaluation. 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 submitted", 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.

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 electrotherapy equipment, instruments and 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.
