The course is divided into two blocks, a theoretical one and a practical one.
Theoretical block: Neurological Physiotherapy
Neurology is a field of action of physiotherapy that is becoming increasingly important. The growing number of people suffering from car accidents, injuries that occur in the workplace (in construction), sports injuries and other medical types (vascular, tumor, degenerative diseases) that produce great physical and mental disabilities create the need for physical therapists to help, guide and encourage the patient to recovery of functional capabilities that have been altered by the injury.
Practical Block: Neurological Evaluation Seminar
Patient neurological assessment is the first step of the journey to design and develop the physicalt treatment treatment of patient. It is a process of interpretation intended to show the residual self-organizing abilities and possibilities of evolution. It serves to understand what functions have been affected by the injury, how they have been altered and how they can be recovered. Thanks to this patient's assessment, we can establish a prognosis, from which we can propose objectives and develop the patient's treatment.
