Osteopathic Manipulative Techniques I

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  As osteopathy is an essentially manipulative clinical practice (use of manual techniques and practices to recover body structure and / or optimize internal functions), this UC aims to provide these fundamental therapeutic tools. It also intends to develop the interpretation skills of homeostasis imbalances using the analysis and observation of the various dimensions of body structure in order to establish a differential diagnosis.
• ProgramaProgramme

  1. Diagnosis in osteopathy: START concept applied to the lower limb and pelvic region: 1.1. Anamnesis; 1.2. Assessmen t in the standing position (in charge); 1.3. Global, regional and special tests. 2. Introduction, mechano-physiologica l principles, indications and contraindications and demonstration of: 2.1. Harmonic technique; 2.2. Joint techniques; 2.2.1. Muscle energy techniques and red uced speed and high amplitude (LVHA); 2.2.2. High acceleration pulse techniques (HVLA).
• ObjectivosObjectives

    To know the general principles of osteopathic manipulative techniques; Acquire knowledge to be used in various fields of diagnosis and osteopathic treatment to be applied in other curricular units and clinical practice; Develop and implement the START concept applied to the lower limb and pelvic region; Understand the key variables that characterize each of the manipulative techniques; Identify, interpret, describe and treat disorders resulting from the perversion of the relationship between structure and function; Apply harmonic and joint techniques; Distinguish the low-speed techniques and high amplitude pulse of high speed techniques; Recognize that the harmonic techniques, using rhythmic movements promote the release of muscular structures, tendons, joint capsules and improve range of motion; Recognize that the joint mobilization techniques are used to improve joint mobility or to decrease joint pain.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  Expositive, demonstrative, participative and problem solving. The unit can be effected by continuous assessment or final evaluation. The final classifi cation (FC) curricular unit for continuous evaluation is obtained from the marks obtained in the written component (T) and the pratical component (PL). The written component consists of two written te sts and is on theoretical a practical content. The minimum grade in each frequency is 8 values. The laboratory component consists of two moments of practical assessment conducted during the pratical classes, must be equal to or greater than 9.5. The final grade is calculated from the following formula: CF = 0.50 T + 0.50 PL. The classification of all assessment instruments is expressed on a scale of 0 to 20, and the weighted value of the marks obtained must be equal or greater than 9.5.
