Learning Objectives

• NEUROLOGIA E NEUROFISIOPATOLOGIA
  

  To provide students skills for the proper historical data collection and to address the neurological clinical examination

  To provide students knowledge about rehabilitation in neurological disease

  To provide students epidemiological and basic clinical knowldge for the diagnostic process of main neurological disease affecting

  - central nervous system

  - Peripheral nervoussystem

  -muscles

• Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
  
  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.
• DISEASES OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM AND REHABILITATION - Form METHODOLOGIES AND TECHNIQUES IN THE ADULT NEUROLOGICAL REHABILITATION
  

  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
