- a written exam in which students are asked to evaluate the performance of an adult neurological patient through observation of a video
- a practical test, generally carried out on simulated patient (another student) or real patient with musculoskeletal problems.
Each test will be evaluated by a committee formed by the Director of Education, by the Coordinator of the year and two expert physiotherapists in the respective fields. The grade results from the sum of the scores assigned to each criterion provided by a special evaluation grid.
The final grade results from the weighted average of partial scores of the first and second semester. Reference texts
