EM472: Rigo Concept BSPTS Basic Level to advance to Level 1.

SPECIFIC OBJETIVES OF THE BASIC LEVEL

Train the students to:

  • Be an active member of a multidisciplinary team, for the treatment of the deformities of the spine.
  • Understand the ethiopathogenesis and pathomechanism of the morphological alterations of the spine in the sagittal plane, as well as the idiopathic scoliosis. 
  • Carry out a clinical and functional assessment of the patient with scoliosis and elaborate a complete clinical history.
  • Make a correct clinical and functional diagnosis of the morphological alterations of the sagittal plane and the scoliosis.
  • Use and interpret the questionnaires about the life quality of the patient with scoliosis.
  • Assess and interpret the additional radiological tests of the patient with scoliosis using digital tools for its assessment, diagnosis , comprehension and prognosis.
  • Assess, analyze and understand the orthopedic treatment to be used in the deformities of the spine.
  • Understand the importance of the use of scientific evidence in the non-surgical treatment of the scoliosis.
  • Apply the SOSORT Guide for the Clinical Practice, published in 2018.
