General description Nesta materia recollense contidos específicos do campo da Fisioterapia coa a finalidade de que os estudantes adquiran unha visión ecléctica dos diversos métodos e técnicas para o diagnóstico e a terapéutica propostas por diversas escolas e autores do campo das terapias manuais. As terapias manuais no seu conxunto, incluindo a osteopatía, constituen unha ampla colección de procedementos de intervención clínica orientados á detección e tratamento das alteracións biomécanicas que afectan o aparello locomotor e nas que o meirande síntoma e a dor.
O paradigma que encadra estes procedementos artellase dentro dunha visión holística da función corporal, na existencia dunha relación recíproca entre a estructura e a función corporais mediada polo sistema nervoso central e na interpretación da dor de costas dentro dun modelo biopsicosocial.
O/a estudante deberá coñecer os fundamentos teóricos dos diferentes métodos e técnicas e o seu campo de aplicación na clínica, asemade adquirirá as habilidades psicomotrices necesarias para executar, con precisión profesional, as intervencións manuais necesarias para poder ensaiar esta modalidade de terapia. Deberá manexar eficazmente o proceso de avaliación e diagnóstico funcional que antecede á terapia manipulativa, os métodos terapéuticos, a súa fundamentación científica e neurofisiolóxica, as fases de execución e aplicación das manipulacións en tódalas súas variantes, dominando un número de técnicas seleccionado que lle permitan abordar a meirande parte dos trastornos do aparello locomotor que sexan susceptibles de beneficiarse desta modalidade terapéutica.

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral presentation complemented with the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions aimed at students, in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning.
The master class is also known as a lecture", "expository method" or "master class". This last modality sounds reserved for a special type of lesson taught by a professor on special occasions, with a content that supposes an original elaboration and based on the almost exclusive use of the word as a means of transmitting information to the audience.
Laboratory practice Methodology that allows students to learn effectively through the realization of activities of a practical nature, such as demonstrations, exercises, experiments and research.
Collaborative learning Set of teaching-learning procedures guided in person and / or supported with information and communication technologies, which are based on the organization of the class in small groups in which the students work together in the resolution of tasks assigned by the teachers to optimize their own learning and that of the other members of the group.
Critical bibliographical The bibliographic review involves a process of critical reading of a book, an article, a thesis or a communication to a congress. As such a process includes the reading of the work, the analysis of its content and a critique and evaluation of it in relation to the existing literature on the subject. A review does not suppose a summary of the work, nor a mere analysis of the content, because what gives it meaning and scientific academic dimension is the criticism it deserves in the opinion of the author of the review, in relation to the other known works of the same field or in relation to his own experience.
Mixed objective/subjective test Test that integrates questions type of essay tests and type questions of objective tests.
As for essay questions, it collects open-ended development questions. In addition, as objective questions, you can combine multiple-choice, sorting, short-answer, discrimination, completion, and/or association questions.
Practical test: Test in which it is sought that the student develops totally or partially some practice that he had previously done during the practical classes. The practical test may previously include the resolution of a question/problem that results in the practical application of a certain technique or practice learned.

Description
As this is a theoretical-practical subject for second-year students, personalised attention is aimed at helping students to clarify interrelated concepts, resolve doubts and acquire an integrated vision of this body of knowledge. In addition, it can be used to explain practical skills, seeking integration with the theoretical contents. It also aims to help you in the search for and interpretation of bibliographical sources.
For the tutoring of this teaching methodology, three hours of personalised attention are established, distributed regularly throughout the course, in which questions of both a theoretical and practical nature can be resolved.
The attention will be personalised, and also, when the professor considers it necessary, it can be carried out telematically, using email and the Teams platform, upon request by the student.

The quality of the work proposed by the teacher and the attitudes and aptitudes shown by the students in this task will be assessed as a percentage of 5% of the final mark for the subject. 		5
Critical bibliographical A1 A2 A3 A10 A19 C1 C4 C6 The bibliographic review is a process of critical reading of a book, article, thesis or conference paper. As such, it involves reading the work, analysing its content and critiquing and evaluating it in relation to the existing literature on the subject. A review is not a summary of the work, nor a mere analysis of the content, as what gives it meaning and a scientific academic dimension is the critique it deserves in the opinion of the author of the review, in relation to other known works in the same field or in relation to his/her own experience.
The presentation of the reviews in due time and form, as well as their quality, will be evaluated as a percentage of 5% of the final mark for the subject. 		5

As for essay questions, it includes open-ended essay questions. In addition, as objective questions, it may combine multiple-choice, ordering, short answer, discrimination, completion and/or association questions.
In order to be included in the final mark for the assessment of the subject, and to be eligible to pass it, a minimum of 4 points out of 10 must be obtained in the mixed test. The grade for this test accounts for 50% of the final mark for the subject. 		50
Practical test: A1 A3 A5 A6 A7 A8 A9 A11 A12 A16 B2 B3 A test in which the student is expected to develop totally or partially some practice that he/she has previously done during the practical classes. The practical test may previously include the resolution of a question/problem that results in the practical application of a particular technique or practice learned.
In order to be included in the final mark of the course evaluation, and to be able to pass it, the student must obtain at least 4 points out of 10 in the practical test. The grade for this test represents 30% of the final mark for the subject. 		30
 
Assessment comments

The percentages assigned to each test may undergo slight modifications from one course to another depending on the needs of the subject; however, the value of the exam (theoretical and practical) will never be less than 70% of the final grade, and the value of the continuous assessment (attendance, supervised work, revisions, etc.) will never be more than 30%.

The final grade will be established in a range from "0" to "10". This mark will be made up of the sum of the partial marks obtained in each of the sections of the assessment, in the corresponding percentage, as indicated in the scheme set out above. A pass mark will be obtained when the final average mark is "5".

In order to calculate the aforementioned average, the student must obtain a minimum score of 4 out of 10 points in both the mixed test and the practical test. If it is lower than 4 out of 10 points, the resulting grade will automatically be a fail.

Due to the nature and competence profile of the subject, the possibility of academic dispensation exempting part-time students from attending practical classes is not contemplated.

Students who have the option of Honours, in order to be eligible, must submit a report on the course content (both theoretical and practical), prepared by themselves, within the established deadline. If the evaluation of the report is positive, they will achieve the aforementioned qualification. In the event that there are more candidates than available Honours, an order of priority will be established.

Fraudulent performance in the assessment tests or activities will directly imply a failing grade in the corresponding exam session, thus invalidating any grade obtained in all the assessment activities for the extraordinary exam session.
