Critical reading on the current status of research in Physiotherapy shows that the Physiotherapy professional bases their reasoning on techniques and their applicability rather than on the clinical signs and symptoms that describe the patient's state of health.

Clinical reasoning in Physiotherapy is considered the fundamental tool to improve the effectiveness of the current treatments by connecting the most precise therapeutic goals based on diagnostic excellence with the indications, limitations and contraindications of classical and advanced therapies available in the professional market.

Objectives

Correctly using the different types of clinical reasoning in acute injuries and the chronicity of the common cases in neuromusculoskeletal disorders

Identifying and controlling by metacognition the most common cognitive biases that lead to the most common decision-making errors in clinical practice.

Identify the red flags and diagnostic clinical prediction rules available in the current literature.

Understanding the procedural logic of physiotherapeutic diagnosis in acute injury focused on pathology or dysfunction.

Course content

  • The different types of clinical reasoning. Uses and limitations in clinical practice.
  • What are cognitive biases and which ones do we have in our daily clinical practice?
  • What strategies can we use metacognitively to control them.
  • Case resolution based on the case method. Clinical Exemplification.
  • Cervical pain and dysfunction based on the case method.
  • Lower back pain based on the case method.
  • Wrist and hand dysfunctions based on the case method.
  • Foot and ankle dysfunctions based on the case method.
  • Practical demonstration and tutelage of diagnostic ability in acute injury and chronicity.
  • Case management in groups: Formulation of hypotheses, selection of exploratory tools, use of binding clinical reasoning and proposal or practical demonstration of the case resolution
  • Sharing the case solution in the different stages through collaborative learning.
