Le parcours Recherche et Réhabilitation du handicap moteur (REHAB) est destiné à la formation des professionnels intéressés par l’évaluation et la recherche en réadaptation des handicaps moteurs avec trois objectifs pédagogiques principaux :

• Acquérir les outils d’évaluation des handicaps moteurs construits sur le modèle de la Classification Internationale du Fonctionnement (CIF) avec identification des facteurs personnels et environnementaux mis en jeu : analyse du mouvement, mesure de dépense énergétique, questionnaires d’activité physique et de dépendance…
• Acquérir les bases nécessaires au développement des techniques de rééducation motrice reposant sur les critères de l’evidence-based-medicine (EBM) appliquées aux divers traitements de rééducation et de réadaptation. Il s’agit le plus souvent de traitements non pharmacologiques : techniques de renforcement musculaire, traitement physique des troubles de l’équilibre et du mouvement, reconditionnement à l’effort, soins de développement, protocoles d’éducation thérapeutique
• Acquérir les bases méthodologiques nécessaires au développement de méthodes de compensation des handicaps moteurs (prothèses et orthèses de membre et du tronc, aides techniques pour le déplacement, dispositifs pour domotique, réinsertion socio-professionnelle…) et de procédures d’accompagnement du parcours de soins et du projet de vie des personnes handicapées, au plan personnel et psychologique et avec ses dimensions sociétales, selon le modèle inclusif.

À travers ses spécialités, le MASTER Santé forme

1. des professionnels de santé dont le métier s’exerce avec des personnes handicapées au plan individuel,

2 des personnes qui sont amenées à contribuer à une meilleure organisation de la prise en charge des handicapés et de leur entourage familial, social et professionnel,

3. des géographes de la santé, pour les secteurs industriels ou académiques de la recherche des déterminants de la santé,

4. des philosophes capables d’interagir avec les acteurs de la santé, et surtout formés aux méthodes modernes d’investigation des pathologies et de leurs représentations,

5. des psychologues cliniciens du champ de la santé, formés aux pratiques de l’évaluation, de la prévention, de l’intervention psychothérapeutique et aux différentes pratiques de soins,

6. des épidémiologistes spécialistes des études et des grands domaines de risques sanitaires, de l’évaluation en santé (chargés d’études, conseillers qualité) et de la recherche clinique (attachés de recherche clinique, chargés d’études),

7. des juristes spécialisés dans le droit de la santé capables d’interagir avec des professionnels de la mise en place d’actions de santé publique et de programmes d’éducation pour la santé et de prévention,

8. des soignants spécialisés en rééducation et en prise en charge du handicap, capables de mettre en place des actions de santé publique et de soins de santé primaire.

The Research and Motor Disability Rehabilitation (REHAB) pathway is designed for professionals interested in the assessment and research of motor disability rehabilitation, with three main educational objectives:

1. Acquire assessment tools for motor disabilities based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model, including identification of personal and environmental factors involved: movement analysis, measurement of energy expenditure, physical activity and dependency questionnaires, and so on.

2. Acquire the foundational knowledge for developing motor rehabilitation techniques grounded in evidence-based medicine (EBM) applied to various rehabilitation treatments. These are most often non-pharmacological interventions: muscle strengthening techniques, physical treatment of balance and movement disorders, exercise reconditioning, developmental care, and therapeutic education protocols.

3. Acquire the methodological foundations for developing compensatory methods for motor disabilities, including prosthetics and orthotics for limbs and the trunk, mobility aids, domotics devices, and support for socio-professional reintegration. This also covers procedures to accompany the care pathway and life project of individuals with disabilities, addressing personal and psychological aspects as well as societal dimensions, following an inclusive model.

Through its specialisations, the MASTER in Health (MASTER Santé) trains:

1. Health professionals whose work is carried out directly with individuals with disabilities.

2. Professionals contributing to the organisation of care for people with disabilities and supporting their families, social networks, and professional environments.

3. Health geographers, for industrial or academic sectors, focusing on research into the determinants of health.

4. Philosophers capable of interacting with healthcare stakeholders, particularly trained in modern methods for investigating pathologies and their representations.

5. Clinical psychologists in the health field, trained in assessment, prevention, psychotherapeutic intervention, and various healthcare practices.

6. Epidemiologists, specialists in large-scale health risk studies, health evaluation (research officers, quality advisors), and clinical research (clinical research associates, study coordinators).

7. Legal professionals specialised in health law, capable of working with public health practitioners and implementing health education and prevention programmes.

8. Healthcare practitioners specialised in rehabilitation and disability care, able to implement public health initiatives and primary healthcare interventions.
