Interdisciplinary clinical sciences 1
(objectives)
Teaching objectives are to provide students with the knowledge related to rehabilitation processes in the sequele and outcomes of main neurological and orthopedic diseases, in the context of medical diagnosis and multidisciplinarity work. The primary goals of the course include the basic principles of visual anatomy and physiology helpful in understanding the relevant aspects of ophthalmic disorders. Introduction to basic clinical and therapeutical concepts of the most common orthopaedic pathologies in the pediatric age. Recognition of the most common skeletal deformities during growth period. The Student will be able to acquire the information and diagnostic and / or therapeutic indications of the equipment used in Diagnostic Imaging, Nuclear Medicine and Radiotherapy, both with Ionizing Radiation(IR) and with Non Ionizing Radiation(NIR). In addition, notions will be provided regarding radiation protection in patients and workers. 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.
