Métodos centrados en el aprendizaje en Fisioterapia. Capacidades del alumno y contexto de aprendizaje
[EN] In this work we wanted to assess the effects of the use of learning-centered methods on various capabilities/abilities of some students and on their perception of the learning environment developed by their professors. The sample consisted of 231 third-year students from the University of Valencia. They belonged to three groups and they were studying the subject of Physiotherapy Cardio circulatory in the degree of Physiotherapy. In order to verify the objective and the hypotheses set out in the research we used a quasi-experimental sequential cohort design with non-equivalent control group, by using a posttest in the control group and a pretest and a posttest in the experimental group.…
The implication of subcortical motor centers in voluntary human activities
The main objective of the present dissertation was to analyse the subcortical implications in the preparation and execution of complex voluntary movements. Three different tasks were selected on purpose. They all are everyday activities which although functionally related have differential characteristics. The first task was the sit-to-stand manoeuvre. Simple ballistic movements are executed faster in reaction time task paradigms when the imperative signal is accompanied by a startling auditory stimulus (SAS). We examined whether this effect also occurs in complex movements such as the sit-to-stand manoeuvre, taking into account both anticipatory postural adjustments and prime movers. React…
