8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Kinesiología musculoesquelética & Kinesiología cardiorrespiratoria
Build a one-page reference map of the four domains showing how musculoskeletal and cardiorrespiratory content overlaps in acute, subacute and chronic phases
List the 20 musculoskeletal conditions most frequently tested (fractures, tendinopathies, post-surgical knee and shoulder, low back pain) and write the key assessment findings and contraindications for each
Solve 30 musculoskeletal multiple-choice items under timed conditions and log every error with the reasoning that caused it
Draft a personal glossary of 40 Spanish-English technical terms used in musculoskeletal and cardiorrespiratory assessment
Your checkpoint
A 4-page handwritten or digital summary sheet covering the 20 musculoskeletal conditions plus an error log of the 30 timed items with a written cause for each mistake
Kinesiología musculoesquelética
Explain, in writing, the anatomy, innervation and functional testing of the rotator cuff, hip abductors and knee stabilizers without consulting notes
Compare at least 12 special orthopedic tests by purpose, sensitivity, specificity and interpretation limits
Construct three clinical vignettes that require differential reasoning between two musculoskeletal diagnoses and justify the correct choice
Design a 6-week progressive exercise prescription for a post-operative total knee arthroplasty case, stating dosage, precautions and progression criteria
Your checkpoint
A table of 12 special tests with sensitivity and specificity values plus three written clinical vignettes with reasoned answers
Kinesiología cardiorrespiratoria
Describe the physiology of gas exchange, ventilation-perfusion matching and oxygen transport, and apply it to three pathological scenarios
Interpret 15 arterial blood gas and spirometry reports, classifying each as obstructive, restrictive or mixed with justification
Outline the phases of cardiac rehabilitation, including risk stratification, exercise intensity targets and contraindications to exercise testing
Summarize airway clearance and lung expansion techniques with their indications and precautions
Your checkpoint
A portfolio of 15 interpreted blood gas and spirometry cases, each with classification, reasoning and a proposed physiotherapy intervention
Kinesiología cardiorrespiratoria & Kinesiología neurológica
Map the neurological examination sequence (consciousness, cranial nerves, motor, sensory, coordination, gait) and state what each component detects
Differentiate upper from lower motor neuron signs and apply the distinction to five clinical presentations
Compare the main cardiorrespiratory monitoring parameters and early warning thresholds used in hospitalized patients
Solve 25 mixed cardiorrespiratory and neurological items under timed conditions and categorize errors by cause
Your checkpoint
A completed 25-item timed mixed set with a categorized error analysis and a one-page neurological examination checklist
Kinesiología neurológica
Explain the pathophysiology and functional consequences of stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson disease and traumatic brain injury, identifying the priority physiotherapy problem in each
Apply the International Classification of Functioning framework to three neurological cases, separating impairment, activity limitation and participation restriction
Design task-specific gait and balance training programs for two cases, specifying intensity, progression and fall-risk precautions
Describe tone assessment and the management of spasticity, including positioning, stretching and adjunctive measures
Your checkpoint
Three written case formulations using the International Classification of Functioning, each with measurable goals and a justified intervention plan
Kinesiología en salud pública y comunitaria
Explain the Chilean health system structure, the explicit health guarantees framework and the role of the kinesiologist within primary care
Identify the main non-communicable disease risk factors and design a community-based physical activity intervention for a defined population
Outline epidemiological measures (incidence, prevalence, relative risk, attributable risk) and compute them from a provided 2x2 table
Describe health promotion strategies, community participation methods and intersectoral work relevant to kinesiology practice
Your checkpoint
A one-page community physical activity program proposal including target population, epidemiological justification, activities, indicators and evaluation method
Kinesiología musculoesquelética & Kinesiología cardiorrespiratoria & Kinesiología neurológica & Kinesiología en salud pública y comunitaria
Complete two full simulated exams of 100 or more items under strict timing and record the score per domain
Re-teach the three weakest topics from each domain in writing, as if explaining them to a peer
Review all prior error logs and rewrite each missed item as a rule or principle rather than a fact
Rehearse clinical case answers aloud within a two-minute limit to build structured verbal reasoning
Your checkpoint
Two scored simulated exams with a domain-by-domain score table and a consolidated list of rewritten rules from all accumulated errors
Kinesiología musculoesquelética & Kinesiología cardiorrespiratoria & Kinesiología neurológica & Kinesiología en salud pública y comunitaria
Consolidate the highest-yield facts of each domain into a single final review sheet of no more than four pages
Repeat only previously failed items and confirm mastery by reaching at least 85 percent correct on each domain
Practice time allocation and question triage strategy on one final timed set
Prepare logistics for exam day, including identification, schedule and a rest plan for the preceding 48 hours
Your checkpoint
A four-page final review sheet plus a verification record showing at least 85 percent correct on repeated failed items in every domain
Milestones
Week 2: Complete the 12-test table and three clinical vignettes; achieve at least 65 percent on a 30-item musculoskeletal set, and explain rotator cuff and knee stabilizer function without notes
Week 4: Interpret 15 blood gas and spirometry cases with at least 80 percent classification accuracy, and complete the neurological examination checklist from memory
Week 6: Produce three International Classification of Functioning case formulations and one community program proposal; correctly compute all four epidemiological measures from a 2x2 table
Week 8: Score at least 70 percent overall on both full simulated exams, with no domain below 60 percent, and reach at least 85 percent on repeated failed items in all four domains
