2. Pre-Requisites
Not established
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
Justification: The subject Physiotherapy Assessment covers the study and application of assessments, tests and functional checks on their foundations, modalities and techniques.
Relationship with other subjects: This subject is related to others in the Curriculum such as: Fundamentals of Physiotherapy, Human Morphophysiology I and II, Anatomy of the Locomotor System, Biomechanics, Psychology, Kinesitherapy, General Procedures I and II, Specific Methods I - IV , Physiotherapy in Clinical Specialties I - VI, Introduction to Clinical Practice, Practicum I, II and III.
Relationship with the profession: This subject will allow the student to attain essential professional competences for the exercise of the profession, since assessment is the first phase in the method of Intervention in physiotherapy. It is in this phase when all the necessary data are gathered and recorded to obtain a clear idea of ¿¿the health status of a person or group, with the aim of making a physiotherapeutic diagnosis.
