Description


The subject of musculoskeletal pathology encompasses three medical specialties such as rheumatology, traumatology and physical medicine - rehabilitation.

Rheumatic pathology will help us to establish the basis of the non-traumatic pathology of the musculoskeletal system and that is susceptible to physiotherapeutic treatment

Traumatic pathology will help us to know the injuries that can occur in the musculoskeletal system, allowing them to be approached in a multidisciplinary way with other health professionals who collaborate with the physiotherapist for the improvement of the patient, as well as their evolution.

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

EXAM:

The final exam will have a weighting of 60% on the final grade and it will be mandatory to pass with a 5 in order to pass the subject and average it with the rest of the grades.

o Wrong question will subtract 0,25 points.
o Unanswered question: 0 points.

 

ORAL PRESENTATION:

An assignment will be made together with an oral presentation where the student must explain a clinical case of one of the following pathologies.
Originality will be assessed, as well as the entire process from the time the patient enters the service until discharge (anamnesis, physical examination, diagnosis, treatment, evolution, discharge recommendations, follow-up).
Groups of 3 people.
Topics chosen at random from the following.
The presentation will take place in the last sessions, and questions can be asked in the final exam on the topics presented:
1. Achilles tendon
