Learning objectives
The aims of the course are:
- to describe diseases and traumatic injuries more frequently as a cause of disability of the internal apparatus and which are the subject of medical treatment;
- to define the main clinical characteristics for these diseases;
- to correlate these diseases with the consequent disability;
- to know the sites and methods of drug interaction with the body, the principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, undesirable effects and drug interactions;
- to describe what is a pharmacological treatment and what are the main classes of drugs and the possible effects that some of these may have on rehabilitation treatment;
- to describe what are the main causes of disability in children and learn how to define the main aspects;
- to define the concept of mental disorder and psychiatric therapy in its historical dimension and in the organization of psychiatric services;
- to identify the tools to understand the typical aspects of psychopathological manifestations;
- to address their relationship with the psychiatric patient in order to obtain his collaboration in the rehabilitation program.
- to give the definition of child neuropsychiatric pathology and describe the most frequent affections in this area;
- to identify the rehabilitation needs of young patients and adopt the most suitable behaviors to obtain them;
- to detect the main vital parameters;
- to identify emergency clinical situations in humans;
- to adopt the elementary first aid measures.
