Learning Objectives
- Define physioprophylaxis, differentiate between its phases (early, primary, secondary, and tertiary), and apply suitable physiotherapeutic interventions for each phase, aimed at preventing or mitigating the development of functional health issues, with a focus on improving clinical outcomes.
- Examine the various types of Spina Bifida, assess their associated complications, and identify the factors that influence the severity and prognosis of the condition, to refine the clinician’s approach to patient care and treatment planning.
- Effectively use diagnostic and functional assessment tools to gather and analyze essential data on the physical, neurological, and cognitive impacts of Spina Bifida, ensuring accurate and comprehensive patient evaluations in a clinical setting.
- Develop and implement personalized rehabilitation plans to enhance motor functions, address muscle weakness, joint contractures, and mobility impairments, and prevent complications such as skin ulcers and bone density loss, as related to clinical practice and treatment outcomes.
- Evaluate the long-term effects of rehabilitation and physical activities on individuals with Spina Bifida, optimizing therapeutic interventions and improving patient quality of life and functional independence through evidence-based strategies in clinical settings.
