Measuring Skin Functions
SCOPE AND CONTENTS
Quantification of cutaneous variables by non-invasive means. The cutaneous barriers and the most representative variables of the "barrier" against desiccation (TEWL and epidermal water balance) of the physical and chemical "barrier" (melanin content, anti-oxidants and microbiome) and the mechanical "barrier" (sonographic structure and biomechanical indicators). Other transcutaneous variables (microcirculation and gasometry)
KEYWORDS
Quantifying skin “barriers”; biomechanics: sonography and edema
TARGET AUDIENCE
Students, graduates, postgraduates, researchers (MSc, PhD), specialty residents (dermatology, cosmetic and reconstructive plastic medicine, others)

Exercise and recovery of peripheral perfusion
SCOPE AND CONTENTS
Physical therapy programs (thermotherapy, ultrasound therapy, and exercise) improve the symptomatology of peripheral arterial disease, sarcopenia, and other diseases involving inactivity. However, the individual response is very varied and some have an exercise intolerance. In this sense, the individualization of exercise is an essential requirement, which implies evaluating and quantifying its impact in each case. Recovery depends a lot on microcirculatory homeostasis and in this sense, we try to provide in this course quick and practical ways to access this information, essential in physiotherapy.
KEYWORDS
Physioterapy; peripheral vascular disease; homehealth.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Physiotherapy undergraduate or graduate students, junior researchers (MSc, PhD) (limited to 10 students).
STRUCTURE AND CALENDAR
Syncr + Assyncr Ed1 – 10 e 11 May 17 – 19:30 h
