  The aims of this course is to illustrate the diseases (degenerative, autoimmune and traumatic) of the musculoskeletal and nervous system. The principal goal is to illustrate the principles of functional rehabilitation and the enhancement of residual abilities.

  Degenerative and traumatic diseases of the spine and rehabilitation; disorders of the CNS and rehabilitation; pathologies of the SNP and rehabilitation; instrumental therapy and EBM; rheumatic disease and rehabilitation treatment; traumatic and degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system and rehabilitation treatment; functional assessment scales; utilities of the neurophysiological technique in rehabilitation; self-rehabilitation of spastic paresis.

• DISEASES OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM AND REHABILITATION - Form METHODOLOGIES AND TECHNIQUES IN THE ADULT NEUROLOGICAL REHABILITATION
  

  • Definitions and principles of Methodology and Techniques of Neurological Rehabilitation. • Development of "know" Rehab. • Since behaviorism to cognitivism. • hierarchical organization model S.N. and integration levels. • Posture and postural adjustments. • Neuropsychology: therapeutic approaches. • Cognitive processes: instrumental and executive functions. • Clinical - Functional evaluation: precondition of the rehabilitation program. • static vision of S.N.C. • Mechanisms of neural plasticity and functional recovery after brain injury. • Unmasking the silent synapses. • Enhancing synaptic and synaptogenesis. • Modification of cortical maps. • Reorganization in areas away from the lesion. • Neurogenesis. • Plasticity: rehabilitation and aging. • Fundamentals of the main methods synchronic and diachronic: Bobath - Kabat - Vojta - Perfetti. • Neglect. • Rehabilitation neurocognitive disorders in spatial attention in Stroke. • The evolution of the rehabilitation treatment in stroke outcomes. • New Therapeutic Exercise techniques: Biofeedback, Constraint Induced Movement Therapy, robot-assisted rehabilitation, Mirror Training, Mental Practice, ... • engines and neuropsychological disorders: neuro-rehabilitation by the motor imagery training. • System of Mirror Neurons in action perception. • Professionalism in Equipe: Doctor of Physical Therapy.

  Course objectives:

  1. understand the methods and assumptions of neurophysiological neurological rehabilitation
  2. understand the main theories of the movement and recovery that are the basis of the different therapeutic approaches to cognitive rehabilitation
  3. raise awareness of the main tools available to the Re-Enabler to guide recovery
