Learning outcomes - knowledge
Lecture and practical classes – Knows and understands:
W2: types of imaging methods, principles of their implementation, and their diagnostic value (X-ray, ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging) – A.W2
W4: methods for assessing structural and functional disorders caused by disease or injury, diagnostic tools and patient assessment methods for physiotherapy purposes, methods for assessing the patient's body structure and function as well as their activity in various disease states – C.W4
W1: etiology, pathomechanism, symptoms, and progression of musculoskeletal dysfunctions in the fields of: orthopedics and traumatology, sports medicine, rheumatology, neurology and neurosurgery, as well as pediatrics and pediatric neurology, to an extent enabling the rational use of physiotherapy methods – D.W1
W2: principles of diagnosis and general rules and methods of treating the most common musculoskeletal dysfunctions in the fields of: orthopedics and traumatology, sports medicine, rheumatology, neurology, neurosurgery, as well as pediatrics and pediatric neurology, to an extent enabling the rational use of physiotherapy methods – D.W2
W10: principles of physiotherapeutic management based on scientific evidence (evidence-based medicine/physiotherapy) – F.W10
Learning outcomes - skills
Practical classes – Is able to:
U1: conduct a patient interview, physical examination, and perform basic functional assessments and physiotherapy-specific functional tests, including measurements of limb length and circumference, joint range of motion, and muscle strength – C.U1
U2: complete patient health records and physiotherapy treatment plans – C.U2
U1: perform a detailed examination for physiotherapy purposes and functional tests of the musculoskeletal system, as well as record and interpret the results – D.U1
U23: based on a spinal X-ray, determine the Cobb angle, rotation angle using an accepted assessment method, assess bone age using the Risser test, interpret the results, and, based on them, classify the scoliosis for appropriate physiotherapeutic management – D.U23
