Description

A theoretical and practical subject is presented. Where the main anatomical and physiological bases of the pelvic floor will be given. In order for the student to achieve the following learning objectives:

- To know the anatomy and physiology involved in the pelvic floor.

- Identify the different uro-gine-coloproctological pathologies.

- Carry out an optimal assessment of the patient

- Design and carry out an action protocol based on the dysfunction presented by the patient.

- Carry out group work plans

- Design prevention strategies

- Search and application of validated tools for use at the clinical level.

This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured.

The TecnoCampus will make available to teachers and students the digital tools needed to carry out the course, as well as guides and recommendations that facilitate adaptation to the non-contact mode.

Learning outcomes

- Identifies the main treatments used in physiotherapy interventions for each of the clinical specialties.

- Classify them according to their effect and importance and establish order of priorities in their therapeutic application.

- Analyze the effects produced by the interventions. Evaluate benefits and risks and establish an intervention criterion based on the priorities and effects pursued.

- Analyzes the patient's expectations for each of the clinical specialties with respect to their evolution, demands and needs.

- Establishes the intervention protocol based on the joint negotiation between therapist and patient.

- Assess the patient's physical and mental condition. It determines the level of severity, dysfunctions, disabilities and limitations both individually and socially.

- Apply technologies for patient assessment. It incorporates new measuring instruments that facilitate the objectification of interventions. Participates in the validation of assessment tools for incorporation into clinical practice.

- Carry out the specific physiotherapeutic diagnosis for each of the clinical specialties in order to determine the dysfunctions and disabilities that will require a specific physiotherapy intervention.

- Interact with other health and physical activity professionals to base an intervention plan based on the specific clinical diagnoses of each of the professions.

- Interacts with medical professionals to gain therapeutic efficacy. Establish joint intervention goals
