Prerequisites
It is advisable to have the acquired knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology of the device Locomotive, Foundations in Physiotherapy, Biophysics, Human Pathology and Physiotherapy of the Locomotive device I and II
Objectives
The subject is programmed in the fourth year of the Degree in Physiotherapy and is part of the subjects of " "Depths of the locomotive device"
Learning outcomes
- Explain the physiopathological mechanisms of the disorders that affect the muscle chains, the movement of the nervous system in relation to itself and to its surroundings, and the joints as seen from an osteopathic perspective.
- Describe and apply physiotherapy assessment procedures to the disorders that affect muscle chains, the movement of the nervous system in relation to itself and to its surroundings, and the joints as seen from an osteopathic perspective, with the aim of determining the degree of damage to the musculoskeletal system and its possible functional repercussions.
- Solve problems.
- Work in teams.
- Display critical reasoning skills.
- Enumerate the different types of of material and apparatus used in physiotherapy treatment, according to the specific methods of muscle chains, neurodynamics and osteopathic manual therapy applied to the treatment of the musculoskeletal system.
- Identify situations in which a change or improvement is needed.
- Analyse a situation and identify its points for improvement.
- Propose new methods or well-founded alternative solutions.
- Weigh up the risks and opportunities of suggestions for improvement: one's own and those of others.
- Propose new ways to measure success or failure when implementing innovative proposals or ideas.
- Identify the social, economic and environmental implications of academic and professional activities within one?s own area of knowledge.
- Critically analyse the principles, values and procedures that govern the exercise of the profession.
- Consider how gender stereotypes and roles impinge on the exercise of the profession.
- Propose projects and actions that incorporate the gender perspective.
- Communicate using language that is not sexist.
- Weigh up the impact of any long- or short-term difficulty, harm or discrimination that could be caused to certain persons or groups by the actions or projects.
Contents
The course aims to enable the student to be able to make global and not so analytical approaches to any one pathology presented to him, based on the concept of muscle chains, understood as circuits anatomical, through which forces are propagated responsible for stabilizing and mobilizing the human body (Leopold Busquet).

Learning activities and methodology
| Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| THEORY (TE) | 38 | 1.52 | |
| works delivery | 27 | 1.08 | |
| ORAL PRESENTATION/EXPOSITION OF WORKS | 10.5 | 0.42 | |
| SELF-STUDY | 40 | 1.6 | |
| READING ARTICLES /REPORTS OF INTEREST | 20 | 0.8 | |
| LABORATORY PRACTICALS (PLAB) | 7 | 0.28 |
The subject is based on theoretical classes and laboratory practices.
The interaction and / or participation of the student will be important as a continuous evaluation.
Students must practice with each other after explanation and demonstration by teachers.
It is essential to bring comfortable clothes and a towel for the laboratory practicals.
Note: 15 minutes of a class will be reserved, within the calendar established by the center or degree to fill in the students, the evaluation surveys of the performance of the teaching staff and the evaluation of the subject.
Attendance at laboratory practices is mandatory minimum 80%
Assessment
Continuous assessment activities
| Title | Weight | Hours | ECTS | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Written assessments: objective tests | 70% | 2 | 0.08 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 |
| Practical evaluations | 30% | 5.5 | 0.22 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 |
70% of the final mark will consist of two partial written tests of multi-answer test type on each question correctly answered will be assessed with 0.25 points. The wrong questions will be 0.1 points, and instead they will not answered, neither will they add or subtract.
The fact of suspending one of the exams will oblige you to appear in the recovery test which will include the content of the entire subject.
The minimum score to pass the exam is 5. The recovery exam will be made according to the calendar a end of first semester. And the maximum mark would be a 6
The remaining 30% will consist of the realization and exhibition of a work that will be developed after them knowledge acquired in teorical and practical seminars.
Attendance to laboratory practices is mandatory (minimum 80%) if this is not the case, the student will only be able to choose how maximum to 5 of the note of the work. And it will be mandatory to present a homework with the class failed practice
\"Not evaluable\" will be considered as not presenting and exposing the work of Static-dynamic global assessment VEDG
and / or not present at the final exam of the subject.
