Physical therapy provides services to individuals and populations to develop maintain and restore maximum movement, and functional ability throughout the lifespan, this includes providing services in circumstances where movement and function are threatened by ageing, injury, pain, diseases, disorders, conditions or environmental factors.
Physical therapy services prevent, minimize, or eliminate impairments of body functions and structures, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. It is autonomous practice that it is solely responsible for the patient's physical therapy diagnosis (which is not the case in Lebanon), that allow a Physical therapy to evaluate and treat a patient without the requirement of the physician's referral or prescription.
The patient need to develop an individualized educational program that will meet the needs of the patient with disability and a multidisciplinary team made up of health professionals: doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, speech therapists, psychologists and social workers.
Each evaluation represents a percentage, the total of which constitutes 100% of the final grade. A second session is possible. However, in case of failure during the second session also, the student will re-register to repeat the failed lecture or clinical training. In addition, enrollment in a lecture or clinical training depends on the validation of the pre-requisite.
The current education system at the Islamic University in Lebanon is a by obligatory presence system. A mark of 10% is attributed to the student's presence in class and their participation, the total of their absences in each course is counted by the information system knowing that if the hours of absence exceed the 20% of the total hours of the course, the student will be in a “drop” situation and therefore will not take their exams. The subject will therefore naturally not be validated in its course of study.
The threshold of tolerated absences for a student in a given course is as follows:
(The time of each session is 50 minutes)
The student will be informed about his absence rate by the coordinator, before reaching the tolerated threshold.
Our clinical program includes seven clinical training courses to develop the clinical and professional skills of the future physiotherapist. During the clinical training, the student is introduced to various physiotherapy practices with patients of all ages, of all pathologies including specific cases such as amputees… in an interdisciplinary context. The student is required to complete his training in different fields with people suffering from musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiorespiratory disorders.
