Sequentiality

|
No sequentiality
|
|
- The student is expected to know the basic pathophysiology, functioning problems, clinical assessment and rehabilitation evidence and strategies for common neurological conditions (knowledge level).
- Additionally, students must be familiar with, and be able to apply, general measurement methodology and physical therapy modalities (skill level).
|
|
|
|
The course will address the following main themes through lectures, practical sessions, and a group assignment with self-guided learning:
- Rehabiltiation techology principles, including among others hardware as sensory technology, software as virtual reality and serious games, and motor learning principles and feedback, when applied to evaluation modules for example.
- Rehabilitation technology applications, including among others upper limb rehabilitation with robotics, balance and gait training facilitated by body-weight support systems, mHealth and tele-rehabilitation for rehabilitation continuity at home.
- The latest scientific evidence encouraging (or discouraging) uptake of technology in the delivery of rehabilitation care for different neurological populations and disability level.
- Practical hands-on experiences in setting up and operating different rehabilitation technology systems, including a critical reflection on the weighting of their threads and benefits, and cost-effectiveness.
Eventually, the course aims to stimulate a broad reflection on the potential of applying technological solutions to delivering high-quality neurorehabilitation care, including its indications, application context, cost versus benefits, latest evidence, and patient experiences, among other considerations.

| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | Since this course is evaluated in two parts, a compensation rule is applied meaning that if a student scores less than half (<10/20) on one of the two parts (either the group assignment, or individual written exam), the student must compensate for this deficit in the other part with a double number of positive points against the negative points obtained, e.g., a 9/20 on ‘written exam’ is compensated by a 12/20 on ‘group assignment’. Whether or not a student has met the compensation rule is calculated based on the unrounded part grades. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | Regarding the compensation rule:
If the student meets the compensation rule, his final grade will be the weighted average of the unrounded partial grades.
If the student does not meet the compensation rule and his weighted average of the unrounded evaluation parts is a pass (at least 10/20), his final grade will be a 9/20 instead.
If the student does not meet the compensation rule and his weighted average of the unrounded evaluation components is a fail (below 10/20), 2 points (out of 20) will be deducted from this unrounded weighted average.
This result is then rounded in accordance with the rounding rules of the OER and constitutes the final result of the course.
Regarding the group assignment:
If the assignment with oral presentation is not executed according to the guidelines, this will lead to '0' grade for this part of the evaluation.
If the student is illegitimate absent during the oral presentation, the student will receive a '0' grade for this part.
If the student is legitimately absent during the presentation, a replacement assignment is provided. |
|
|
|
| Additional information | The evaluation of this course consists of two parts: an oral presentation based on a group assignment (50%) and a theoretical written exam (50%).
Regarding the group assignment, adequate input from each student is expected. Therefore, peer evaluation is done through the Buddycheck program on blackboard. The factor that is calculated by this program is multiplied by the score of the group work, for each student individually.
In case the final score (taking into account the compensation rule) is < 10/20 and the evaluation is failed, but one part of the evaluation was found sufficient by a partial grade of at least 10/20 for either the group assignment or written exam, this partial score can be kept and only the failed part will be reevaluated during the second term. |
