GEPALAP

Study Group of Musculoskeletal Diseases in Primary Care

The group is made up of Primary Care professionals from the National Health Service, mostly from the GAPIC Baix Llobregat Centre of the Catalan Institute of Health, who since 2004 have been working on various research projects with the aim of promoting research in the field of treatment with physiotherapy techniques and rehabilitation of the pathology of the musculoskeletal system. This group collaborates with the PhysiUZerapy: heatlh sciences research group-University of Zaragoza and with the ACTIUM Functional Anatomy Research Group. From Laboratory to Clinical Practice, of the International University of Catalonia, where different members are professors of the Degree in Physiotherapy.

The main objective of the group is to advance in the knowledge of the efficacy and/or effectiveness of physiotherapy and rehabilitation techniques in the treatment of pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, as well as to assess or validate exploratory techniques of manual therapy or functional diagnostic or physiotherapeutic guidance.
