About the program
Having started in 2010 with an academic master’s degree, the Graduate Program in Rehabilitation Sciences is the only one in this field in Rio Grande do Sul. In 2016, with the expansion of the number of students, the qualification of the faculty, the consolidation of the research lines, and the improvement of infrastructure, it began to offer a Ph.D. degree approved by Capes. Well-balanced, the program’s curriculum allows students to articulate their research project with the courses offered throughout the program.
Graduate profile
The professional holding a master’s or Ph.D. degree in Rehabilitation Sciences will be committed to a performance that is qualified and based on scientific evidence, with a critical and ethical sense, capable of acting as an educator and prepared to investigate issues related to rehabilitation sciences.
Infrastructure
The Graduate Program in Rehabilitation Sciences has several research laboratories located at UFCSPA’s main campus and in the Hospital Complex of Santa Casa de Misericórdia of Porto Alegre. Most of the spaces function as multi-user laboratories, allowing the integration between researchers of different study fields. Examples of research facilities include the Rehabilitation Laboratory and the Functional and Nutritional Assessment Laboratory.
Focus area
Assessment Process and Principles of Rehabilitation Interventions
Research lines
- Principles of Cardiovascular, Pulmonary and Metabolic Rehabilitation: To understand the functional, molecular, biochemical, cellular and systemic responses and adaptations to different therapeutic interventions during the rehabilitation process related to cardiovascular, pulmonary and metabolic systems.
- Principles of Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation: To explore the molecular, biochemical, cellular and systemic processes and adaptations to different therapeutic interventions during the musculoskeletal system rehabilitation process.
- Principles of Neurological Rehabilitation: To study the different aspects of sensory-motor behavior and functional, sensory-motor and cognitive adaptations during the chronic process of diseases, as well as the functional, sensory-motor and cognitive response to different forms of rehabilitation.
