Methodologies Description
Collaborative learning MASSOTHERAPY AND OTHER THERAPIES PART

The work will consist of reading papers or chapters in groups of 3-4 people, or in the resolution of questions raised by the teacher:
It should emphasize the most important ideas, summarize, explain to colleagues and submit a final paper of the findings of all the readings. Its implementation will be monitored throughout the course and will be delivered as deadline day of the test to access it.


ELECTROTHERAPY AND ULTRASONOTHERAPY PART

Resolution of issues related to the competence of the matter in groups of 3-4 people which shall be released as if the resolution of issues relating to the powers given subject in groups of 3-4 people which shall be released as they are the addressing the content. Its realization along the course will be monitored.
Laboratory practice MASSOTHERAPY AND OTHER THERAPIES PART

As a classroom activity, will be performed in the laboratory of exercise therapy in groups of 10 students in 1.5 hours classes, prior to the demonstration and explanation of the teacher. The practice after the class is very important to acquire the necessary skills.

The self-work after practical lessons consist of a portfolio of practices, in groups of 3-4. The document must include: computer components, place, date and time of the completion of the practice, role of each person(physical therapist, patient facilitator ...), to address health needs or desired effect, selected equipment (just in case), patient position, position of physiotherapist parameters used (full description), achieved results (hyperemia, muscle relaxation ...) and adverse effects have occurred and reflections / conclusions. An overview of patient positioning, with other participants in action and the other with equipment and parameters (if applicable): three photographs of each practice will be included. Delivery will be necessary to access the exam requirement.

ELECTRTERAPY AD ULTRASOTHERAPY PART

As a classroom activity, will be performed in the laboratory of electrotherapy in groups of 10 students in 1.5hours classes , ater the demonstration and explanation of the teacher. ES much needed subsequent practice of the students to acquire the necessary skills.
The self-work after practical lessons consist of a portfolio of practices. It will be pointing out the practical to do for each group of students and their presentation in class. The document must include: computer components, place, date and time of the performance, role of each (physical therapist, patient facilitator) to address health needs or desired effect, patient position, position of physiotherapist parameters used (full description), achieved results (hyperemia, muscle relaxation)adverse effects have occurred and reflections / findings and response to questions. An overview of patient positioning, with other participants in action and the other with equipment and parameters (if applicable): three photographs of each practice will be included. The exposure and subsequent delivery will be essential to access the exam requirement.

The note for both modules can go from 0 to 20% of the final ark, adding one if you have approved the reviews.
Mixed objective/subjective test MASSOTHERAPY AND OTHER THERAPIES PART
A theoretical and a practical exam will count till 50% and 30%- respectively- of the final mark.

The theoretical exam will have several open-questions of variable length depending on the group learning dynamics.

Practical exam will be carried out for a clinic problem and all the parameters used will be explained. The maximum time will be 10 minutes per case. The following parameters will be assessed: a valid argument for selection the parameters; adequacy of blocks, pillows and so on and correct patient position; correct and relevant application parameters (time, intensity ...); quickly performance and absence of negative effects ("pinch" drop,…).

ELECTROTHERAPY AND ULTRASONOTHERAPY PART

A theoretical and a practical exam will count till 50% and 30%- respectively- of the final mark.

The theoretical exam will have several open-questions of variable length depending on the group learning dynamics. Also, there will be a type test part, consisting of 4 options and only one valid, wrong answer is taken account to eliminate random influence.

Practical exam will be carried out for a clinic problem and all the parameters used will be explained. The maximum time will be 10 minutes per case. The following parameters will be assessed: a valid argument for selection the parameters; adequacy of blocks, pillows and so on and correct patient position; correct and relevant application parameters (time, intensity ...); quickly performance and absence of negative effects ("pinch" drop,…). Misuse of equipements and materials will low the mark until 50% and if something is broken the student will fail automatically.

BOTH PARTS:


A final average mark will be given only if both parts have been successful.
Guest lecture / keynote speech MASOTHERAPY AND OTHER THERAPIES PART

The possibility of interactive classes for the whole group, although it will work starting from the teacher's explanation and then questions or solving problems in groups of students to encourage active job is bid.

ELECTROTHREAPY AND ULTRASNOTHERAPY PART

It will begin with lectures and interactive sessions for the whole group to advance in the subject before practice. Interactive classes for the following classes will be a theoretical and practical combination and will encourage student participation and meaningful learning.
Introductory activities ELECTROTHERAPY AND ULTRASONOTHERAPY PART


Reading: physical basis in electrotherapy and ultrasonotherapy: electromagentic and mechanic waves.
