Goals The purpose of this course is to evaluate what diseases are affected by neurological rehabilitation and how these diseases affect the functional status of the patient, to evaluate the physical dimension of the health condition, to evaluate the quality of life in close relation with it and to learn how to do the rehabilitation studies in this area.
Course Content Approach to neurological patient, Neurophysiological exercises Rehabilitation in equilibrium disorders Physical therapy in hemiplegic patients Physical therapy in traumatic brain injuries Physical therapy in spinal cord injuries Physical therapy in neuromuscular diseases Physical therapy in peripheral nerve injuries Physical therapy in multiple sclerosis rehabilitation, Physical therapy in parkinson' rehabilitation Neurogenic bladder Neurogenic bowel Pressure ulcers Orthotics and walking aids in neurological diseases
Learning Outcomes 1) Approach to neurological patient and know neurophysiologic exercises
2) Learn what is done in the rehabilitation of each of the diseases covered by neurological diseases
3) Use tools and devices for physical therapy and rehabilitation applications
4) Evaluates the indications and contraindications of the applications
5) Learn complications encountered in neurological rehabilitation, orthosis and walking aids used in rehabilitation
