The Master in Motor Skills: General is made up, to some extent, of courses from the Master in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. It is centred on acquiring and developing specific skills in physiotherapy in various areas of application (orthopaedic, neurological, respiratory, uro-gynaecological, cardio-vascular, psychiatric, pediatric, geriatric etc). This programme also has two focuses: the research focus (for researchers) and the professional focus in manual therapy.

This 2 year programme is directly accessible to students who hold a university bachelor’s degree in physiotherapy and rehabilitation. It may be done in one year by students with a Master in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. The Master in Motor Skills: General provides Masters in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation with the possibility of a specialization in manual therapy and sports physiotherapy or in research in the field of physiotherapy. Students doing research may go on to third cycle studies.

Having completed your bachelor degree, the Master in Motor Skills: General [120] is a two year programme which offers a wider scope of training in the field of motor skills as well as the possibility of specializing in research or manual therapy or sports physiotherapy. It gives access to doctoral research and to third cycle specializations, for example in osteopathy.
This Master does not grant professional status. However, if candidates already hold the Master in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation (M60), they may do the Master in Motor Skills: General (M120) in one year.

Practical learning

During the Master, you will continue, in an intensive way, the training begun in the third year of the first cycle. You will do four months of placement in the university clinics and approved UCL and KUL centers, under the direction of teachers in physiotherapy and rehabilitation and under the supervision of placement directors. You will be able to match your choice of placement to your interests and preferences: hospital departments, outpatient treatment or private practice.

Specializing

You will be able to develop your knowledge in one of the following areas : technological aids for handicapped people, prevention ofpathologies linked with working conditions and adapted physical activities used as additional therapy.

The dissertation that you will do at the end of the course will also enable you to specialize in an advanced area of physiotherapy or rehabilitation. The dissertation may be an account of a particular issue, through bibliographic research, or be centred on experimental research in the laboratory. You will benefit from close collaboration and a privileged learning relationship with your supervisor.

 

The Master in Motor Skills: General offers a choice of two focuses of 30 credits. Depending on your interests and your professional project, you can choose to pursue research or manual therapy and sports physiotherapy.

Research

The research focus prepares students for scientific research and provides general training for a career in research. You will make up your programme according to your research project which you will do in a laboratory under the direction of your supervisor. There is a wide choice of possible subjects which can make a contribution to improving understanding of movement as well as practices and techniques designed to restore it.

Manual therapy and sports physiotherapy

The professional focus in manual therapy and physiotherapy builds on the basic university training in physiotherapy. It is centred on different methods of manual therapy and the main techniques for assessing and treating injured athletes. This training will provide you with the theoretical and practical foundations for any intervention you will have to make on patients of all ages and in the context of different pathologies particularly associated with the muscular-skeletal system. You will be able to treat and monitor athletes appropriately according to their level of activity.

The Master in Motor Skills: General is centred on acquiring and developing specific skills in physiotherapy in various areas of application (orthopaedic, neurological, respiratory, uro-gynaecological, cardio-vascular, psychiatric, pediatric, geriatric etc). The teaching is done in different ways: lectures, practical courses in small groups, sessions on specialized techniques and clinical placements.
Through the optional subjects, students can develop their knowledge in one of the following areas : technological aids for handicapped people, prevention of pathologies linked with working conditions and adapted physical activities used as additional therapy

Other teaching methods (project work, seminars, placements etc.) are used particularly in the context of the different focuses.

By doing a dissertation, students may specialize in a precise area either through bibliographic research or through experimental work in a laboratory, benefiting from close collaboration and a privileged learning relationship with their supervisor.

There are three main sessions of examinations : in January, June and September.

Assessment of the theoretical courses is based on a written or oral examination and may be combined and/or replaced by elements of continuous assessment, particularly for the assignments, projects, seminars and placements.

Assessment of the practical training is continuous and may be supplemented by a final assessment.

Students will be informed of the methods of assessment at the beginning of each course.

Certain courses, as well as clinical placements in physiotherapy and rehabilitation may be done in other countries with which the Institute has special relationships : France, Canada, Switzerland and Ireland. Students who are particularly interested in the special issues relating to rehabilitation in the third world may also do a two month placement in Africa (Benin) or in South East Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos).

In addition, students doing research (research focus) may, with the agreement of their supervisor, have the opportunity to pursue their research abroad (cf. regulations on research students pursuing a Master degree).
