Application of an Algorithm as an Educational Strategy to Improve the Learning of the Intervention Model in Physiotherapy in University Students

Abstract

The objective of this article is to analyze an intervention algorithm model in physiotherapy as an educational strategy, to know its effects and benefits when applied to students in the Physiotherapy Degree at the American University of Puebla, since we consider that it has ceased to be used. aside the Physiotherapy Intervention Model as a fundamental science. This application of an algorithm, understood as an ordered set of systematic operations that allows to make a calculation and find the solution of a type of problem, is something that is already established; however, it has not been given importance as a didactic strategy for that students can correctly carry out their intervention in physiotherapy in working and professional life. This article highlights that applying a good treatment and achieving the main objective of physiotherapy, which consists in the rehabilitation of the patient, is one of the fundamental tools that a physiotherapist starts with in order to carry out his career. When investigating the various theories embodied by various authors and their strategies, we found that each one has a different application theory and a dissimilar perspective, and not all of these theories have worked as expected, however, that is why the application of the algorithm as didactic strategy that the teacher can apply for the learning of the future professional physiotherapist.
