This course sets out the educational objectives of knowledge of pelvic floor dysfunctions, their validated evaluative tools, based on the most recent neurophysiological and biomechanical acquisitions; integrating these with individual transversal skills (communication skills, autonomy of judgment and learning ability) the ability to evaluate and apply what has been learned to set up adequate treatment, on the basis of the most recent approved guidelines, will be consolidated.

The course includes six hours of in-depth analysis of the anatomy and physiology of pelvic floor structures, neurophysiology of the urication cycle, defecating activity and the explanation of their dysfunctions; three hours of presentation of the evaluative tools; three hours of pre-emission of the types of treatment that can be carried out; for a total of twelve hours.
