Offer 1 with catalog number 1023778CNR for all students in the 1st semester at a (C) Bachelor - specialised level.
HOC:
Skills training (WPO):
Skills training on examination and treatment of the lumbosacral region and lower extremity, including clinical reasoning with case studies.
The composition of practice groups (WPO) should be respected at all times. Only if a person from the teaching staff has given written permission to do so, a student is allowed to change groups. Access to the classroom will be refused when students do not adhere to the group allocation.
To attend the practical lessons it is compulsory to wear appropriate clothing (i.e., a short and appropriate underwear). Every student must bring a large towel for hygienic reasons (to put over the table). Given the importance of hand hygiene in health care, it is important to have short, well-groomed nails in order to be able to carry out all technical operations correctly and with good hand hygiene.
Course-specific learning outcomes are:
The student has contemporary knowledge, insight, skills and attitudes regarding physiotherapy after surgery of the lumbosacral spine.
The student has contemporary knowledge, insight, skills and attitudes regarding research of patients with problems of the lumbosacral spine as well as problems of the hip, knee, and ankle-foot region.
The student has contemporary knowledge, insight, skills and attitudes regarding treatment of patients with problems of the lumbosacral spine as well as problems of the hip, knee, and ankle-foot region.
The student has contemporary knowledge, insight, skills and attitudes to describe and, based on state-of-the-art scientific evidence, critically assess the diagnostic and therapeutic process of a physiotherapist who treats a patient with problems with the lumbosacral spine and to present tis together with other students.
The student has the skills and attitudes to examine a patient with problems of the lumbosacral spine through a group work and to prepare a treatment plan, including treatment goals and modalities, and to present this in group.
The student has contemporary knowledge of the traumatologic and orthopedic disorders of the musculoskeletal system with which a physiotherapist can come into contact.
The student has contemporary knowledge of the principles of fracture healing and possible complications that may occur and has basic knowledge of the medical treatment of orthopedic and traumatologic diseases.
The student has the insight and skills for the physiotherapeutic treatment of traumatologic and orthopedic disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
The student has contemporary knowledge of the principles of various frequently used imaging techniques.
The student has contemporary basic knowledge about the progress of various imaging studies.
The student has contemporary knowledge, insight and skills to be able to interpret medical imaging on the basis of reports made by specialists.
The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Written Exam determines 60% of the final mark.
Practical Exam determines 40% of the final mark.
Within the Written Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:
Within the Practical Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:
Peer assessments will be used for the realization of the final score on the practical exam and the individual score on the group work case study.
with regard to this, students must assess themselves and fellow group members on a number of criteria.
The result of this is an individual adjustment factor.
The average adjustment factor of the seminars (werkcolleges) will be used to adjust the final score on the practical exam (= the inherent value of the practical exam) based on the student's efforts during the academic year. This is done by multiplying the inherent final score of the practical exam by the average adjustment factor of all seminars (werkcolleges).
The adjustment factor for the group work case study will be used to individualize the group score (= the inherent value of the group work). This is done by multiplying the group score by the adjustment factor.
The group work case study is graded on xx/10, and has a weight of 10% in the total score of the course. The practical exam is graded on xx/40, and has a weight of 40% in the total score of the course.
The adjustment factors achieved serve as a permanent evaluation and cannot be caught up after the end of the semester during the second examination period. All adjustment factors will therefore automatically be transferred to the second examination period.
If a student does not complete a peer assessment within the predetermined deadline, the teacher can decide to apply the maximum deduction of points.
The teacher always has the last word and can decide to strengthen, weaken or even ignore the adjustment factor if the scores obtained are not reliable.
In principle, this decision will only be made in exceptional cases, but will always be based on clear arguments, analyzes and / or extra observations / conversations.
At all seminars (werkcolleges) and at the case presentation of the own group, 100% attendance is mandatory. If the student is illegally absent during a seminar, he will be assigned an adjustment factor of 0.7 for the seminar concerned. If the student is illegally absent during the case presentation of the own group, he will be assigned an adjustment factor of 0.5 for the group case study.
It is the student's responsibility to place his signature on the sign-off list for a valid attendance. When assessing attendances and absences, the teaching staff will rely exclusively on this sign-off list.
Absences due to top sports activities of students with a top sports status must be coordinated at the start of the semester by the Topsport & Studie service to find a possible alternative date for the group work or a replacement assignment in good time.
The student must pass on all study parts (min. 10/20 or min. 50%). If the student has failed on a study part, the weighted average is deviated from and the lowest partial result counts as the examination result. If a result of at least 10/20 (or at least 50%) is obtained on a study part, this partial result is automatically transferred to the second examination period. A student cannot waive this automatic transfer of the partial score. No partial scores will be transferred to a subsequent academic year.
There is a separate examination moment for the written part and the practical part.
Explanation of the written exam: the entire HOC section (TH O&B, ORTHO, MBV) is examined by means of a written exam.
Explanation practical exam: The WPO part is evaluated during the practical exam, in which the student demonstrates integrated knowledge, skills and attitudes regarding research and treatment of the lumbosacral region and lower extremity, including clinical reasoning. Knowledge and skills of the BFO (O&B IIA & O&B IIB) must be known per region and can be questioned during the exam.
