PHYSICAL AND REHABILITATION MEDICINE
The objectives of the teaching course are to provide students with the knowledge related to the individual rehabilitation project in the main orthopedic and neurological pathologies. In particular, the objective of the course is the definition by the student of the individual rehabilitation project in a wide range of disability from main neurological and orthopedic pathologies, in the framwork of medical diagnosis and multidisciplinarity.
EYE DISEAS
The lessons have the objective of making the students understand the mechanisms of how the visual system functions, also by acquiring the notions of anatomy and physiopathology.
LOCOMOTIVE SYSTEM DISEASE
The aim of the course is to provide the basic principles of the main traumatic and degenerative pathologies of the musculoskeletal system with references to clinical practice in a perspective of assistance useful to the physiotherapist. In addition, the role of the physiotherapist will be investigated in pathologies involving surgical treatment.

| Module: Locomotive system diseases
(objectives)
Orthopaedics is the specialty that treats diseases or injuries of the body's musculoskeletal system. This system includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves and allows you to move, walk and be active. The course is focused about learning the most important and frequent pathologies in pediatric orthopedics and preparing the student to manage all the essentials pre and post trauma/surgery to regain a full healing.
A physiotherapist plays an essential role within the multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, psychologists and play therapists.
The aim of the course is to teach how the physiotherapy gets joints and muscles moving and gains functional skills, such as learning to walk with crutches or a frame.
An experienced physiotherapist will complete an assessment of all children who are going to have orthopaedic surgery. The physiotherapy assessment is essential in aiding decision-making regarding surgery or other recommendations. It also allows us to prepare the family and the child for surgery, answer questions, and plan what help and further physiotherapy might be needed after you are discharged home.
A physiotherapist will help the child after surgery to regain mobility and independence in order to be discharged home.

(objectives)
The understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the alterations in balance and the production mechanisms of speech and swallowing are essential objectives. These objectives will be achieved through face-to-face lectures, seminars and interactive teaching activities, designed to facilitate learning and improve the ability to deal with and solve the main pathological and degenerative diseases.
