Basics of Physiotherapy: Pharmacology in Physiotherapy
1855-F1-FwF-SJ
The aim of teaching pharmacology is to familiarise students with the basic terminology used to define the mechanism of action of a drug, its use, possible adverse and toxic effects. During the course, special emphasis will be placed on the action of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs as well as drugs that can be used in physiotherapy e.g. are administered by iontophoresis, inhalation or topically (e.g. ointments, creams, therapeutic baths), are OTC drugs or so-called dietary supplements. Students are also taught to select appropriate sources of drug information.
Total student workload
1. The workload related to activities requiring direct participation of academic teachers is:
- participation in lectures: 15 hours
- consultations: 10 hours
- preparation and conducting assessment: 5 +1 = 6
The workload of the activities that require direct participation of academic teachers is 31 hours, which corresponds to 1.2 ECTS credits. 2.
2 The balance of student workload:
- participation in lectures: 15 hours
- self-study: 5 hours
- reading of the indicated literature: 10 hours
- consultation: 10 hours
- preparation for and passing of credits: 15 + 1 = 16 hours
The total student workload is 56 hours, which corresponds to 2.2 ECTS credits.

- reading the indicated scientific literature: 10 hours
- research and scientific consultations: 1 hour
- participation in lectures (including scientific research methodology, research results, studies): 20 hours
- preparation for the credit of research and scientific aspects
- scientific aspects for the given subject: 4 hours
The total student workload related to the research is 35 hours, which corresponds to 1.4 ECTS credits
4 Time required to prepare and to participate in the assessment process:
- preparation for credit + credit: 15 + 1 = 16
The total student workload required to prepare for and participate in the assessment process is 16 hours, which corresponds to 0.6 ECTS credits.
5 The balance of student workload of practical character:
- not applicable.
