Contents	It starts from the observation method for a comparison between normal and phatological movement sequences as a manifestation of CNS lesions with particular reference stroke. It proceeds with: the activities of teaching tutorial aimed at acquiring manual dexterity as evaluative instrument and treatment by passing throug the awareness of the importance of contact in the therapist-patient dialogue tonic the general principles of the assessment and with particular depth treatment of the therapeutic tools of placing and guiding in the manifestation of the perceptual disturbance the therapeutic task specific exercise and context dependent consistent with the efficacy data available in the literature

Educational objectives	Conduct an observation following the principles of observational methodology Recognize the manifestation of the movement of alteration in neurological patients Identify inappopriate compensatory strategies consistent with the principles of global assessment of the patient Make a manual guide can asses local issues such as the distribution of weight or general as the reciprocal innervation Make a conscious manual guidance of somatosensory information that can convey for postural control and movement in the patient with neurological disease
Prerequisites	Knowledge of the clinical frameworks of the main alterations of motor behaviour in neurological pathologies with particular reference to stroke, taking techniques and biomechanical analysis of manifestations of normal motor behaviour with Particular practical analysis of the muscular tests of the various body districts
Teaching methods	Frontal lesson Interactive teaching Educational workshop with the use of the methods for practical learning objectives such demonstration, repeated tests, screening of movie
Other information
Learning verification modality	Written test as selection criterion to support theoretical-practical examination
Extended program	The lessons are designed to prepare the student to therapeutic work in neurology. They are in chronological order and organized in preparatory manner observation of the normal sequences of movement conducted striktly for data collection and construction observation grid analysis of the motion sequences and the prerequisites to be able identify its alterations in CNS lesions and particularly in stroke the recognition of typical motor manifestation of neurological disease such as spasticity, the strong and weak parts of synergies, the pathological reaction to locate, in the whole of movements the inappropriate compensatory strategies that delay or prevent a selective motor control in the patient manual guide as evaluative instrument and specific therapeutic the therapy session as a moment of alternation evalutatio/treatment relevance of therapeutic exercise with specific characteristics and context dependent task and especially with the guiding instrument in cases of perception disorder. During the lessons, the teaching laboratory activities do not exhaust the learning curve necessary for the acquisition of practical skills but provide the opportunity to know and experience the various stage of the re-educational pat in neurology

Educational objectives	The main objectives of the course are: - Acquisition of the anatomical-clinical reasoning model in neurology; - Understanding the common pathophysiological bases of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems; - Understanding and application of the main semiological maneuvers in neurology.
Prerequisites	Neuroanatomy and neurophysiology
Teaching methods	Frontal Lectures. The method requires extensive interaction between teacher and students on the educational workshop model. The students, divided into small groups, will be invited to present a clinical case that will be discussed with colleagues and the teacher, who will comment and integrate the discussion.
Learning verification modality	Written exam
