The Master that we propose aims to develop a better understanding, as well as better evaluation and treatment options for neurological and musculoskeletal problems with a biomechanical or motor control component in their etiology. Specific attention is directed towards the analysis of movement by studying different bio-signals: EMG, kinetic and kinematic, as well as imaging of the individual using various technological modalities.  
The student will acquire fundamental knowledge about research, epidemiology and statistics, evidence-based health sciences and research ethics, as well as knowledge about the evaluation and treatment of pathologies of neurological origin or those with biomechanical components and motor control, psychomotricity and specific methods of physiotherapy, occupational therapy and rehabilitation. In all subjects great importance is given to new technologies and scientific advances and the importance of scientific evidence is emphasized.
The student will have to develop a master's thesis for which he will have a tutor. This master's thesis can be developed in various lines of research such as: movement analysis, sensory integration, or new methods of proprioception and balance, among others, which are briefly described below:
  • Movement analysis: Movement analysis techniques, gait study, analysis of movement disorders. Movement analysis laboratory.         
  • Sensory integration: Sensory integration. Evaluation and intervention. Sensory disorders.                                                             
  • New proprioception and balance methods: Proprioception and balance disorders, evaluation and treatment techniques such as static and dynamic posturography.
  • Exercise in neuromotor control: Therapeutic exercise, sports activity and motor control, isokinetic.
  • Cognitive intervention: Assessment methods and cognitive intervention. Cognitive alterations.
  • Facilitation and neurostimulation methods: Facilitation and neurostimulation methods in neurological patients (Bobath, Vojta, Perfetti, among other techniques), application of new technologies.
  • Evaluation and treatment of pain: Procedures for the evaluation and treatment of pain in neurological processes or musculoskeletal and motor control disorders.
