Learning outcomes

L’insegnamento si propone di fornire le conoscenze di base di biologia, biochimica, fisica e statistica, tenendo in particolare considerazione quelle maggiormente utili alla comprensione ed all’approfondimento di problematiche biomediche associate alla fisioterapia e di fornire i fondamenti del metodo sperimentale alla base delle moderne discipline scientifiche e tecnologiche, per educare lo studente al rigore scientifico e alla valutazione critica dei dati sperimentali. A completamento del corso lo studente avrà acquisito le competenze necessarie per comprendere, descrivere e analizzare i fenomeni naturali, biologici e fisici, con particolare riguardo alle problematiche biomediche e sarà in grado di spiegare i meccanismi molecolari e cellulari alla base del funzionamento dell’intero organismo e cogliere il significato patogenetico di eventuali alterazioni di essi, dimostrando inoltre la capacità di esporre le argomentazioni relative alle conoscenze acquisite in modo preciso, con valutazione critica e con linguaggio scientifico appropriato. Avrà infine sviluppato la capacità di affrontare con buona autonomia ulteriori approfondimenti specialistici che saranno oggetto degli insegnamenti dei successivi anni di corso.

MODULO: FISICA APPLICATA Fornire conoscenze di base sulle grandezze e sulle leggi fondamentali della Fisica, in particolare della meccanica e sulla loro applicazione in fenomeni e situazioni concrete di interesse biomedico e far acquisire capacità di risolvere semplici problemi di Fisica, soprattutto di Biomeccanica, anche applicati a situazioni concrete.

MODULO: BIOCHIMICA Fornire conoscenze di base di chimica organica e biochimica sulle relazioni struttura-funzione delle principali classi di macromolecole biologiche, sulla regolazione metabolica a livello molecolare e sulle interconnessioni esistenti tra i diversi processi biochimici e sulle trasformazioni energetiche ad essi connesse.

MODULO: BIOLOGIA APPLICATA Fornire competenze di biologia e genetica umana, in una visione evoluzionistica, relative alle caratteristiche strutturali, funzionali e molecolari dei processi cellulari comuni agli organismi viventi e in particolare dei meccanismi di base che regolano attività, riproduzione, interazioni cellulari e la trasmissione dei caratteri ereditari normali e patologici nell’uomo. MODULO: STATISTICA DESCRITTIVA Fornire competenze nell'ambito della bio-statistica con particolare riguardo ai metodi statistici di base per l'analisi di dati biomedici come la modalità di raccolta e sintesi dei dati di ricerca clinica o epidemiologica, calcolo delle probabilità, generalizzare le informazioni raccolte su un campione alla popolazione di origine, la rappresentazione grafica di sintesi e l’interpretazione dei principali risultati statistici.

Examination Methods

The exam consists of 4 written tests, one for each module, based on all the issues covered throughout the course. Tests can be passed separately as long as they are taken within the same academic year. For each academic year, 6 periods are available to take the exams: 2 in the Winter Session at the end of the course, 2 in the Summer Session and 2 in the Autumn Session. In order to gain access to the biology test, students must have first discharged any training debts relating to the minimum biology, chemistry and physics knowledge.
To pass the exam, students must get a score of not less than 18/30 in each test. The final mark (/out of 30) willl derive from the weighted average over credits of each single test score. Students can retire or refuse the proposed score: in such case, any partial credit will be canceled and the students shall enroll again for the whole examination (all the 4 tests).

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
