Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The Introduction to Kinesitherapy and Reeducation course reflects the interest of introducing specificity from the first study year. Reeducation fundamentals (active and passive techniques) will be illustrated with simple, varied clinical examples from both hospital and private practices. The course will provide a comprehensive, global vision of kinesitherapy as a preparation to more compartmentalized, specific technical 2nd-year courses.
