Some of these general subjects are anatomy and clinical biomechanics, histology and physiology of the conjunctive tissue, the use of the image diagnose in the functional recovery of the patient, the planning and protocol of work systems by means of exercise, as well as specific aspects in the different stages of recovery, correct choice of exercises according the objective or the adequate use of electrostimulation according to those aspects, among others.
