Traditionally, these tests have been explained by the use of books, written descriptions or PowerPoint slides, and the students had to take notes in order to being able to practice and perform these tests at home, until they were examined. It has been demonstrated that the use of digital technologies such as blogs, websites and educational software used in tablets, computers, or cell phones, allow the student to have a better comprehension of the subjects and to take full advantage of the learning process. Methods: This study was performed in 88 Physical Therapy students, who were divided in two groups: A (traditional teaching process) and B (digital teaching process). Both groups completed the subject Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy. Students in the group A...

ICTs are tools that play an important role on this progression, being essential in the educational process among the broad range of Degrees at University of Valencia, particularly in the Physiotherapy Degree. Videotutorials are being a really useful instrument for students to consolidate the practical and theoretical knowledge of the different subjects, which constitute the Degree in Physiotherapy at University of Valencia. The aim of this study is to show the outcomes of the management of interactive tutorials, which explain some computer programs that facilitate the development of the Final Project of the Physiotherapy Degree. Mastering ICTs for academic purposes allows the students to focus their work on the contents, besides the improvement of the appearance of the document. This methodology has been based on the teaching-learning materi...

The way to tackle the treatment of hematomas has been significantly improved, even if it essentially follows the same basic principles. In the same way, the physiotherapy and physical exercise prescribed for patients with hemophilia, must take into account several transcendent aspects. In order to develop an efficient and specific physiotherapy, the first aspect to be taken into account is the identification and knowledge of the problem, in this case, the hematomas. The second aspect will be to establish an order of priorities and objectives, which will lead the chronology of the therapeutic actions, the effects of which must also be considered. Hematomas can be classified according to their nature, location and magnitude. In the same way, the biological characteristics of the patient that can influence the hematoma – such as age and gender, physical activity and coagulation fac...

This method uses "the associative mechanism" with which students can associate one image with another that has direct or indirect relationship. At the higher education a new methodology were implemented where students of physiotherapy have to associate certain images to relate contents within the course of kinesitherapy. The aim of this work was to design and develop several activities for students to better consolidate the knowledge acquired in the practical sessions of the course of kinesitherapy. Material and methods: To carry out these activities JClic (JAVA® based) free software have been used. This is a tool that allows teachers to easily create digital educational resources, by designing different objectives. The aim of this work was to collect those activities that could be represented with images and where the visual information was essential. Several videos were recor...

At the present time, the education does not only happen in the traditional context, the interaction becomes constant, and there is created a virtual environment in which both the pupil and the teacher must receive the information in a dynamic way to build the knowledge through the exploration and study of the problem, subsequently it becomes necessary the existence of a direct and immediate relationship between the mobile communications and the education in all its levels, demanding ...

Un total de 20 pacientes con cervicalgia aguda o crónica han sido tratados en consulta con la tecnología de microcorrientes exclusivamente. La valoración del dolor ha sido realizada mediante la escala analógica visual (EVA) por autoevaluación antes y después del tratamiento completo. El valor medio de la EVA antes del tratamiento fue de 65,45 y el valor medio postratamiento fue de 21,90. La duración media del tratamiento fue de 3,5 semanas. Los resultados de este estudio están en consonancia con los publicados en otros países sobre aplicaciones de las microcorrientes en esta patología. Existen pocas publicaciones sobre aplicaciones de microcorrientes. Las ventajas observadas en el estudio con esta tecnología son rapidez de recuperación funcional del paciente, ausencia de efectos secundarios y contraindicaciones, facilidad de aplicación y sensación agradable para el paciente, así como una muy buena relación beneficio/coste. El conjunto de observaciones apoya la realización de estudios más rigurosos con esta tecnología.

Each experimental group performed the same periodised training program that lasted for 8 weeks, with 2-4 sessions per week and 3-4 sets of 8-15 submaximal reps. A load cell (Isocontrol; ATEmicro, Madrid, Spain) was used to test the evolution of the Maximum Isometric Voluntary Contraction (MIVC) in 3 different exercises: Vertical Rowing (VR), Squat (S) and Back Extension (BE). A mixed model MANOVA [group (CG, TBG, MFWG) x testing time (pre-test, post-test)] was applied to determine the effect of the different resistance training devices on strength. The only groups to improve their MIVC (p<0.005)...
