About Study Course

Objective

To provide students with the theoretical education and acquisition of practical skills necessary for the work of a physiotherapist with persons who have the effects of movement and support system diseases, acquired or congenital deformities and injuries. Tasks: During training, give students basic knowledge of the most common orthopaedic diseases in medical practice, their clinical manifestations, diagnostic and treatment principles, potential rehabilitation options. Develop an idea of the specific features of the development of orthopaedic diseases in children and differences in treatment from adult orthopaedics. Introduce more common orthopaedic diseases in children and congenital abnormalities in the development of the support-motion system, their aetiology, pathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnosis and treatment. Learn basic principles for the diagnosis and treatment of orthopaedic diseases in children.

Preliminary Knowledge

Good knowledge of anatomy and physiology, basic knowledge of Latin, neurology and radiography.

Learning Outcomes

Knowledge

1.● Demonstrate comprehensive and healthcare-specific basic knowledge of the most common orthopaedic diseases in medical practice, their clinical manifestations, diagnostic and treatment principles, potential rehabilitation opportunities and their implementation.

Skills

1.● formulate and analytically describe the main principles of treatment and rehabilitation for each orthopaedic pathology; ● apply knowledge and skills independently in drawing up a rehabilitation and physiotherapy plan;

Competences

1.● formulate and analyse the necessary radiological examinations and will be able to independently discuss and substantiate the case; ● demonstrate a strategic and analytical approach to evaluating a patient’s overall condition and orthopaedic problems, prioritize them.

Students’ knowledge, skills and competences are assessed by the points system. For the completion of the study course, the student shall receive a differentiated assessment on a scale of 10 points. In order to receive a positive assessment of the study course, the overall assessment must correspond to at least 4 points in order to obtain an assessment of knowledge, skills and competences in the balls: ● have a class attendance of more than 65% if attendance does not meet the requirements the final assessment of the student shall be reduced by 1 point; ● Obtain a certain number of points according to the number of examinations provided for in the study course; ● in order for a student to receive a final assessment in the study course, the examinations provided for in the study course must have been passed successfully and within the prescribed time period; ● if the examination results in an unsuccessful assessment or fails to attend the examination, it shall be possible to re-take the examination within two weeks of the date of the examination, subject to prior agreement with the lecturer; ● If within two weeks after the end of the study course the student has not passed the requirements of the study course, this study course may be completed in the next year of studies in general order; ● final assessment: upon completion of the study course is evicted after passing the exam. - attitude towards education, development dynamics, active activity in seminars (20%); - independent work performed by the student (40%); - final examination of the study course (40%).
