Corso di Laurea in Terapia della Neuro e Psicomotricità dell'Età Evolutiva

The aim of the Teaching is the knowledge and ability to apply the acquired knowledge to the specific professional in the field of neruomuscular pathology, with particular reference to the pediatric age.

In particular, they will be priority objectives:

- the knowledge of the physiologyof the neuromuscular system and the knowledge of the semiotics of the neuromuscular system;

- knowledge of the main pathological patterns of the peripheral nervous system in the pediatric field, in particular the paralysis of the brachial plexus;

- the knowledge of the main neuromuscular diseases in pediatric age, in particular the spinal amyotropies, neuropathies, myopathies and dystrophies;

- knowledge and ability to apply in the professional context of the evaluation and rehabilitation treatment of neuromuscular diseases, with reference to the different frameworks, the natural history of the disease, the main assessment scales and the measures used in the rehabilitation treatment.

 

The student must be able to know the basic elements and make an adequate assessment of the sign and symptom, to frame it in the global organization of the movement; evaluate the compensations adopted by the subject suffering from neuromuscular pathology; evaluate the need for orthoses and / or aids; accompany any surgical act; to know the outcome measures and functional assessment scales in developmental age.

The student will also have to, in relation to their professional context:

- know the biomechanical and Chinese aspects of the antigravity statics and dynamics of the trunk and the interactions with the other districts;

- achieve competence in the Chinese analysis of postural passages and gestures.

Frontal lecture with video support

For each training activity indicated, a conclusive and certifying assessment is scheduled at the end of the period in which the activity took place. For the modules divided into modules the final evaluation of the profit is unitary and collegial. By passing the exam or the exam, the student obtains the credits assigned to the training activity in question.
