In particular, the notions coming from other courses on the disciplines concerning the sciences of human behavior, the physiopathology of motor functions and disability will be integrated with new "objective" and "quantitative" information. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Diagnostic methodologies and techniques will be discussed, with particular emphasis on the mechanisms involved in motility and locomotion, with special attention also to higher cortical functions (the functional magnetic resonance technique for the study of brain functions will be presented). The aim of the course will be to pass on the ability to work in multidisciplinary teams and will insist on the need to implement a rehabilitation protocol based on scientific evidence (scientific research methodology will also be introduced), being aware of the need to carry out "measures" to verify the correspondence of the responses to the functional recovery targets, also evaluating for example the effectiveness of the adoption of prostheses and auxiliary implants. The physiotherapist will learn to enrich the acquired knowledge during the course of the study, with the aim of understanding how to integrate the best valid and relevant research available with clinical experience by adapting a state-of-the-art rehabilitation protocol taking into account the condition of the individual patient ("evidence based practice" and "tailored approach"). At the end of the course, the student will learn how to use spreadsheets and learn the tools for researching scientific articles of international literature, for the analysis of myoelectrical signal, posture, motor performance, and brain activation. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES Diagnostic methodologies and techniques will be addressed, with particular regard to the mechanisms involved in motility and locomotion, with specific attention also aimed at higher cortical functions (the functional magnetic resonance technique for the study of brain functions will be presented). The aim of the course will be to convey the ability to work in a multidisciplinary team and will insist on the need to implement a rehabilitation protocol based on scientific evidence (scientific research methodology will also be introduced), being aware of the need to carry out "measures" to verify it. compliance with functional recovery objectives, also evaluating for example the effectiveness of the adoption of prostheses and aids. The physiotherapist will learn to enrich the knowledge gradually acquired in the course of study, with the aim of understanding how to integrate the best valid and relevant research available with clinical experience, adapting a state-of-the-art rehabilitation protocol taking into account the patient's condition. individual ("evidence based practice" and "tailored approach"). At the end of the course, the student will learn how to use spreadsheets and will know the tools for researching scientific articles of international literature, for the analysis of the myoelectric signal, posture, motor performance, brain activation. TEACHING METHODS Lectures, simulations, theoretical-practical exercises: students will have the opportunity to attend laboratories for the analysis of movement and become operators and subjects under examination, in order to understand closely the potential of suitable experimental tools and protocols for define useful indices for the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of the patient. Students with SLD, disability or other special educational needs certification are strongly encouraged to contact the teachers at the beginning of the course to agree on teaching methods which, respecting the teaching objectives, take into account individual learning methods and provide suitable compensatory instruments SYLLABUS/CONTENT Electromyography Posturography and Baropodometry Camera-based motion analysis systems Innovative tools for the quantitative evaluation of movements Instruments for brain investigation (computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging) Scientific research tools Tools for visualization and signal processing RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY Material provided by the teacher: slides shown during the lessons and other in-depth material TEACHERS AND EXAM BOARD LAURA BONZANO Ricevimento: The teacher receives by appointment, taken with a request via e-mail: laura.bonzano@unige.it Exam Board SUSANNA ACCOGLI (President) ALESSIA BARONE ANDREA BIANCHI LAURA BONZANO EMMA CERIONI LETIZIA DE MARCHI LAURA FARAGUTI FRANCESCA FARINA ANDREA FUSCO DANIELA GARAVENTA STEFANIA LANARO ANTONINO MASSONE GRETA NUNZIATI DANIELA RASO FLORIANA ROMANO LAURA ROSSI DANIELA SPINA ANDREA ZERILLI ALESSANDRO ROBUTTI (President and Coordinator of Integrated Course) LESSONS LESSONS START Lessons will take place in the second semester of the 1st year Lesson times: The timetable for all courses is available on aulaweb.unige.it . Class schedule The timetable for this course is available here: Portale EasyAcademy EXAMS EXAM DESCRIPTION The exam is written; it will be mainly aimed at evaluating an appropriate knowledge of the topics covered in the module. Exam sessions will be available for the winter session * (January - February) and for the summer session (June, July and September). * For any out-of-course students ASSESSMENT METHODS Details on how to prepare for the exam and the degree of depth of each topic will be communicated during the lessons. The exam will mainly focus on the topics covered during the lectures and in any case on all those specified in the program Students with SLD or with other regularly certified special educational needs will be able to agree with the teacher the written or oral modality, by contacting the teachers at least 10 days before the exam. They can also take advantage of 30% additional time Exam schedule Data appello Orario Luogo Degree type Note 11/01/2023 10:00 GENOVA Orale 08/02/2023 10:00 GENOVA Orale 07/06/2023 10:00 GENOVA Orale 04/07/2023 10:00 GENOVA Orale 05/09/2023 10:00 GENOVA Orale FURTHER INFORMATION The assessments reported in this Disciplinary module will complement those achieved by the student in the final exam of the Integrated Course In the case of a student with a certified SLD, it is necessary to contact the Referent Professor of the DISABILITY and SLD Commission for DINOGMI: Prof. N. Girtler (nicolagirtler@unige.it) who, after evaluating the individual case, will send the teachers the necessary information both for the development of the lessons and the way in which the exam is carried out. The Integrated Course is preparatory to the first year internship exam
