E ADATTATA 8747 (LM-67) - SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR MED/26 LANGUAGE Italian TEACHING LOCATION SEMESTER 1° Semester MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR NEUROLOGICAL AND PSYCHIATRIC PATIENTS OVERVIEW The student must learn the main anatomic and physiologic aspects of the Central Nervous system (CNS) and of the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) as well as the more important physio-pathological modification in case of neurologic diseases AIMS AND CONTENT AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The student must learn the principal functions and dysfunctions of Nervous System with particular attention to the motor disturbances in relation to the more frequent and severe neurologic diseases. The lessons are centered on pyramidal, cortico-bulbar, extrapyramidal, sensitive, cerebellar, peripheral pathways. The student must know essential information on principal neurologic diseases (stroke, dementia, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Epilepsy, Brain tumors, Cranial trauma) and must be able to evaluate the impact of these diseases on his work related to motor activity. TEACHING METHODS The program will be based on traditional didactic methods (frontal lessons) with presentation of video-clips of emblematic disease cases. SYLLABUS/CONTENT Motor function Sensitive function Stroke Pathological[CG1] involuntary movements Parkinson’s disease Cerebral tumors Neuro-muscolar diseases Epilepsy Multiple Sclerosis Dementias Cranial trauma Cranial nerve palsy [CG1] RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY We suggest the use of the handbook: Neurologia di Fazio-Loeb (SEU) or “Neurologia” (Author J. Cambier, Ed. Masson). The teachers insert the lesson slides on Aulaweb system TEACHERS AND EXAM BOARD CARLO GANDOLFO Ricevimento: The teachers receive the students upon telephonic of electronic mail appointment in the working days, in the afternoon.
