Prerequisites
  • The student knows the neurological conditions including pathophysiology, functioning problems, clinical assessment, rehabilitation concepts, treatment techniques and scientific evidence.
  • The student can retrieve the relevant information related to an individual case.


Content

The assignment is explained at the beginning of the course. Subsequently, several case presentations are held by the lecturers of the different universities involved and this in different neurological disorders. This will include: indication for physiotherapy and selection of outcome measures; execution of the measurements; use of scientific evidence in determining the short and long term objectives and treatment approach. It also includes an integrative reflection on aspects such as neuroanatomy, physiology and psychology.

Master of Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy
  •  EC 

    • 1. The graduate of the master of Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy can autonomously (with the help of technology) establish a
    (contra-)indication for physiotherapy by performing a screening, and make a physiotherapeutic diagnosis at an integrated level for complex problems, based on the presenting complaint, the targeted anamnesis and the clinical physiotherapeutic examination.

     
  •  DC 

    • DC 12 The student shows advanced clinical reasoning.

      
  •  BC 

    • The student can take a well-directed history and clinical physiotherapeutic assessment and is able to use this information to draw up a physiotherapeutic diagnosis, based on evidence-based guidelines.

  •  EC 

    • 2. The graduate of the master of Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy can, at an integrated level, on the basis of a physiotherapeutic diagnosis for complex problems, and in consultation with the patient/client, draw up treatment goals and a prevention and treatment plan, implement this plan (with the help of technology) and evaluate its clinical effectiveness.

     
  •  DC 

    • DC 01 De student kan op basis van een kinesitherapeutische diagnose patiëntgerichte behandeldoelen en een behandelingsplan opstellen. 

      
  •  BC 

    • The student can take a well-directed history and clinical physiotherapeutic assessment and is able to use this information to draw up an individual treatment plan, based on evidence-based guidelines.

  •  EC 

    • 3. The graduate of the master of Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy can communicate appropriately, in writing and orally, with all interested parties in a manner that is respectful of the identity/privacy of the patient/client.

     
  •  DC 

    • DC 04 De student kan op adequate en professionele wijze schriftelijk communiceren.

      
  •  BC 

    • The student can orally and written communicate about an integrative case report in which the decisions regarding the anamnesis, the clinical physiotherapeutic examination and the treatment plan of the selected patient are described and discussed.

  •  EC 

    • 9. The graduate of the master of Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy can make a critical synthesis of international scientific and professional literature with an impact on evidence-based practice.

     
  •  DC 

    • DC 02 De student kan internationale wetenschappelijke en vakliteratuur beoordelen met het oog op het evidence-based handelen voor de (eigen) klinische praktijk. 

      
  •  BC 

    • In the form of an oral presentation and a paper, the student can integrate the selected scientific literature into the clinical case report in an orderly manner.
