Knowledge and Understanding:
A general knowledge of and insight into the main clinical issues (epidemiology, pathophysiology, consequences and treatment modalities) with regard to diseases that affect the locomotor system.
Knowledge of current research questions and translational research projects at VUmc/AMS
Applying knowledge and Understanding:
The ability to integrate knowledge from human movement sciences and medicine
The ability to frame tentative research questions relevant to a specific locomotor disease, by applying knowledge from human movement science.
Making Judgments:
The ability to reflect on ethical and practical issues that constrain the feasibility to perform applied studies in the area of locomotor diseases.
The ability to formulate relevant hypotheses regarding research questions on translational research in locomotor diseases.
The ability to reflect on the scientific relevance and societal value of achievements in translational research on locomotor diseases.
Communication:
The ability to communicate with fellow researchers as well as clinicians, and finding ways to bridge gaps between different conceptual frameworks that are current in human movement science and medicine
Learning skills:
The ability to write a research proposal that could serve as starting point for a research master thesis (i.e. a scientific report in the form of a scientific (peer-reviewed) paper).
Course Description
This course provides an overview of leading innovative research and (para) medical treatments in the field locomotor disease, rehabilitation and movement sciences. Each topic of this module is designed around a clinical theme, i.e. a specific disease or disorder. A general introduction will include a discussion on the main clinical problems, related to the design of possible new treatments. This discussion will be focused on how methods and techniques from the several medical disciplines as well as the movement sciences are being applied to study and treat locomotor disease. Both neurological diseases (progressive as well as non progressive) as degenerative diseases of the skeletal system will be discussed. Also general principles of clinical movement analysis and outcome measurements are part of this module.
