OVERVIEW

Adapted physical activities - Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

The course is structured taking into account principles for adapted physical activity in internal pathologies and neurodegenerative diseases by comparing training models of adapted physical activity and rehabilitation.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Acquire and improve knowledge on subjects evaluation in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Acquire and improve knowledge on subjects evaluation in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation and adapted physical activity with self reported ouctome measure, validated clinical scales and, when needed, by using instrumental evaluation such as computerized dynamic stabilometry.

Acquire and improve knowledge on individualized rehabilitation plan and on personalized training for adapted physical activities in internal pathologies.

Acquire and improve knowledge on complementarity among physical medicine and rehabilitation and adapted physical activities.  

TEACHING METHODS

Lectures and educational examples to be commented.

In case of certification of specific learning disability, disability or other special educational needs, please contact both the Department contact person, Prof. Nicola Girtler, and the lecturer at the beginning of the lectures to agree on teaching and exam methods which, in compliance of the teaching objectives, take into account individual learning methods and provide suitable compensatory/dispensatory tools recognized by the University SLD Student Service.
