About Study Course
Objective
To be able to independently assess a patient’s functioning in the context of the situational environment after qualifying as a functional specialist. To be able to choose, including remotely, the necessary technical aids corresponding to the clinical situation and to provide training in the use thereof.
Preliminary Knowledge
Knowledge of human anatomy and physiology, medical terminology in Latin and Greek, classification of human functioning, principles of social assistance.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.• Concepts of health, disease, functioning, limitations of functioning, damage to organs and organ systems, activity, participation, environmental (social and physical) and personal contextual factors, treatment, rehabilitation, therapies, assistive technologies and rehabilitation medicine, • Functioning assessment process, main functioning assessment tools that could be used in a technical orthopaedic practice, sensitive personal data, • ISO classification of assistive technologies, EASTIN database, • The main groups of assistive devices used in practice and the principles of their selection and training, • Incorporating the use of assistive technology into rehabilitation plans, • Principles for the circulation of assistive technologies, including Latvia, NRC "Vaivari'' TPC, LNA, LNB, pharmacy network, etc., • Minimum requirements for Technical Orthopaedic Institutions, • Role of the technical orthopaedist in the organisation of health care, including rehabilitation services, • Modifying the person's capacity to function or the environment using assistive technologies, • Role of health status, prognosis, existing functional limitations, etc. in the choice of assistive technology, • Availability of financial etc. resources in planning the use of assistive technology.
Skills
1.• Skills in the clinical setting - in a rehabilitation inpatient setting to assess patient functioning in discharge planning, • Skills in assessing the accessibility of the physical environment outside the facility, • Skills in the identification and use of technical aids (groups), • Skills to incorporate technical aids into a rehabilitation programme, • To prepare a statement for the receipt of technical aids paid for by the state.
Competences
1.• Understanding the interrelationship between health (illness) and functioning (limitations in functioning) (functioning as an interaction between the person and the environment in the context of the possibilities of modifying it using assistive technologies in the practical rehabilitation process.
