Prof. Dr. Filiz Can
The mechanism of manipulative therapy, the description of manipulation,
mobilization,massage, traction,transvers friction massage,stretching and other manual
therapy techniques and their clinical applications, and general principles of most common
manual therapy techniques will be discussed
After completing this course, the student:
- will enhance the knowlodge of general principles of manipulation and other manual
therapy thecniques
- will increase the knowlodge and skills about morphological,functional and clinical
importance of manual therapy and its mechanism of efficacy
- will describe the different manual therapy techniques commonly used, their general
principles and cases can be used
- will determine indications and contraindications of these approches in clinical practice
- will analyze evidence based applications about on manual therapy
- will determine the research studies have high evidence level and will transver the results
to the orthopaedic rehabilitation
Course Content
Morphological, functional and clinical importance of manual therapy and its mechanism of
efficacy, different manual therapy techniques commonly used and their general principles,
indications, streching and traction and their clinical importance, the importance of evidence
based application in manual therapy and their level of evidence, analysis of the research
studies in manual thaerpay in the literature
