Documentary techniques for physical and rehabilitative activities in physiotherapy
This course is in the continuation of the course APPR1001-1: "Information systems approach to Physiotherapy" (taught as part of the Bachelors programme).
The issues covered in this course, which is taught as part the Masters programme, focus on the following topics:
- research tools and (advanced) methodology in researching information in physiotherapy, both directed towards the professional practice and/or to scientific research;
- management of bibliographical references (and documents) using reference management software;
- information monitoring.

Introduction to the statistical package R - Rcmdr
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Quality management and self-assessment
The objectives of this course are :
- to explain the importance of using assessment tools;
- to know the main tools (questionnaires) useful for physiotherapists;
- to be able to use and interprete the results of the questionnaires;
- to master the concept of "psychometric properties" of an assessment tool;
- to know the belgian quality system Pro-Q-Kine.
Evidence Based Practice
The objective of this course is to provide the student with elements required to critically appraise the scientific data of his future professional activities, and his end of study work.

By the end of the course, students will be able to:
- independently research - within the materials covered in class and using the most efficient research strategies - relevant scientific documentation and information requiring a "high level of proof";
- manage their bibliographical references / documents using a reference management system;
- monitor their information.
