This guide is an effort of the Physiotherapy Department of the
Technological Educational Institute of Lamia to help new students adjust
to their new education environment, by providing them the prime useful
information.
The Department of Physiotherapy of the Technological Educational
Institute of Lamia is recently established with increasing dynamics. Its
constant effort is to improve its services, facilities, and the curriculum of
studies offered, according to the evolution in the Physiotherapy Science.
Our ambition is the period of studies in the Department to become the
most productive time of our students’ life for developing their potentials
and skills.
The presence of our graduate students’ both in the profession and science
of Physiotherapy is undoubtedly remarkable. It is my belief that our
graduates are qualified enough so as to have the strong starting point
that will make them optimistic about their future within a definitely
optimist background. Furthermore, and provided they will be constantly
informed about the evolutions of the science of Physiotherapy and the
new techniques, they will be able to meet the prerequisites to obtain a
competitive stand in the field.
Our Department’s aim is to seek and exploit positive criticism in order to
ensure the quality of the education supplied, provide the necessary
stimuli for the profession to develop and have a constant presence both in
Greece and abroad.
The Department’s personnel and the personnel of the Technological
Educational Institute is working towards this aim by providing constant
support to any occupational and scientific worry and effort of the
graduates.
I believe that this effort of the Department will be promptly and widely
supported by all members of the Institute and, of course, by its students.
With kind regards
The Head of the Department
Dr. Vasiliki Sakellari

This Prospectus of the Department of Physiotherapy of the T.E.I. of
Lamia is an effort to present the curriculum of studies and the academic
services the Department is offering. Only a few years following its
origination, the Department is well developing and is hoping to
contribute to the scientific training of newly qualified Physiotherapists;
physiotherapists with professional prospects, contributing and upgrading
their practical and theoretical knowledge, based on scientific evidence
(evidence-based practice).
The primary aim of this Prospectus is to guide the undergraduate
students of our Department into various issues of their interest
throughout their course of study, and to inform prospective candidates
about the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) units of the modules
being taught in our Department.
The first chapter entails information about the city of Lamia. The second
and third chapters inform readers about the Technological Educational
Institutes’ mission, structure and function, as well as the Faculties and
the Departments of the T.E.I. of Lamia. The fourth chapter outlines the
institutional framework of the Department, including the basic rules and
regulations of study. The fifth chapter presents the building of the Faculty
of Health and Caring Professions and the laboratory equipment of our
Department. The sixth chapter gives an analytical description of the
undergraduate programme and its curriculum. The seventh chapter
presents the permanent staff of our Department. The eighth chapter
provides useful information on student issues, such as food, sporting and
cultural activities at the T.E.I., accommodation, library services etc. Last
but not least, the ninth chapter briefly describes some of the educative
and research activities and collaborations of the Department. At the end
of the Prospectus, a list of useful phone numbers is provided.
We hope readers will find the prospectus useful and we are anticipating
your comments.

LAMIA CITY AND FTHIOTIDA PREFECTURE
1.1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Lamia is the capital of the Fthiotida Prefecture as well as the peripheral capital
of Central Greece, one of the 13 peripheries in Greece (which includes the counties of
Fthiotida, Fokida, Evia, Evritania & Viotia). Today approximately 70.000 people inhabit
Lamia, and it is an interesting geographical trading and industrial part of Central Greece. It
is about 210km away from Athens and 300km from Thessaloniki, and it is the principal
transportation junction between the two biggest cities, since it is in the middle of the Νational Highway Athens-Thessaloniki.
Lamia
1.1.2 HISTORY
Ancient Malies are said to be the founders of Lamia city. It has been mentioned that they
built it after a destructive earthquake in this area around 426 BC. It was used as an army
counterforce against Spartians who at that time had built Heraclia in the place of Ancient
Trahina. Ιn the history of Ancient Greece we also learn about the Lamia War between
Macedonians and Atheneans in 323 BC.
According to Mythology founder of the city is thought to be Lamos, the son of Hercules
and Omfalis. In many parts of the city, excavations have brought into light parts of an
artistic ancient wall whereas, among the few saved archaeological discoveries is the
"Statue of a young Satyr", "Peploforos woman", pots, tombs etc. Most of them are in the
Archaeological Museum of the city, which you can visit.
Not far from Lamia you can see the Maliakos Gulf with many seaside resorts, like ΚamenaVourla, Agia Marina, Stylida, Rahes, Agios Konstandinos. The last one is a small
port, where, in a short time, either by ship or flying dolphin you can visit North Sporades, a

group of islands in the North Western Aegean Sea; most popular of these islands is
Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonisos.
Within Fthiotida, there are lots of spas (Thermopyles, Κamena Vourla, Ipati, Platystomo)
and it is a national as well as European centre of hydrotherapy and spa tourism.

MISSION, STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE T.E.I
The Technological Educational Institutes (T.E.I.) belongs to Higher
Education according to the Law 2916/2001. They are independent and selfadministered institutions. The main organisational characteristics of the T.E.I. are
based on their democratic structure and function with the participation of the whole
academic community (teaching staff, administration staff, students etc.) in the
making of decisions, the academic asylum, academic freedom, free scholar pursuit
and the spread of ideas. Although the structure and function of the T.E.I. is governed
by the Law, specific issues can be ruled from the internal regulation rules of each
3
T.E.I. (altered with Article 1, paragraph 3 of the Law 2916/2001, F.E.K. 114A’/11-62001).
The mission of the T.E.I. is:
1. to provide enough theoretical and clinical/technical education in order to apply
scientific, educational, artistic or other knowledge to the equivalent profession
2. to assist to the development of responsible citizens, who are capable to contribute
to the economical, social and cultural development of the country, and
3. to implement the right to free education for each Greek citizen according to his/her
capabilities and according to the law.
Each T.E.I. is composed of at least two Faculties, and each Faculty is composed of at least
two (relevant to each Faculty) Departments. The Departments constitute the basic
academic units. Studies at each one of the Departments end to the obtaining of a degree,
which gives the opportunity to a professional career. All T.E.I. graduates on obtaining their
degrees (signed by the president of the T.E.I.) have recognised professional rights.
In the greater geographical area of where the principal T.E.I. is located, there are units
functioning as its Branches.
There is also an Administrative Department at each one of the T.E.I.s, which is divided
into sections, offices and services for the support of the educational work. The General
Secretary of the Administrative Department is elected by the General Assembly of each
Institution. All administrators of the T.E.I.: President, Vice Presidents, Directors of
Faculties, Head of the Departments and those in charge of each Subject Group, are elected
by the members of the academic community of each Institute for a certain tenure.

AIMS OF CURRICULUM OF STUDY
The aims of the educational programme of the Department of Physiotherapy
are:
•
•
•
•
To teach the principles of the functioning of the human body.
To evaluate – analyse the deviation from the normal situation
To teach a selection of suitable physiotherapy methods.
To teach how to apply each physiotherapeutic method correctly.
The methodology of the physiotherapy evaluation is the basis for the constitution of the
studies’ programme, and is based on the recording of the subjective findings of the patient,
his objective problems, the evaluation of all the information, which is gathered, as well as
the planning of his rehabilitation programme. Physiotherapy also includes the
rehabilitation of patients with cardiovascular, neurological, orthopaedic, rheumatological,
pathological and postoperative problems, as well as sports injuries.
2.2
REGULATIONS OF STUDY
2.2.1 REGISTRATION
Students who are registered in the T.E.I. of Lamia cannot be at the same time registered in
any other higher educational institute in Greece or abroad.
2.2.2 MODULE SPECIFICATION
Each semester’s programme is announced ten days before the beginning of that semester.
The typical programmes for each semester are not compulsory for undergraduates; student
may organise their personal study programme for each semester, according to the modules
they wish tο attend. Then, a relevant declaration (completed in a specific form for subject
declaration) is submitted to the Department simultaneously with their registration or their
registration renewal comprising the subjects the student wishes to attend for that semester.
This statement can be modified on two subjects at the maximum, during the first two
weeks after the beginning of the semester. When forming his personal study programme,
the student should bare in mind that the total of teaching hours for the modules he wishes
to attend should be between 20 and 38 hours. Additionally, he should not attend any
subjects for which he does not have successfully followed the prerequisite ones. Also,
undergraduate students cannot attend or be examined in subjects, which are not specified in
that semester’s declaration form. Under no circumstances, a student can be considered a
graduate at an earlier date than the anticipated duration of study at the Department.

ΤΜΗΜΑ ΦΥΣΙΚΟΘΕΡΑΠΕΙΑΣ
2.2.3 EXAMINATIONS
After a period of 15 weeks the semester is completed and the progress of each student in
every subject is judged by examinations. Examinations are written and oral and take place
during normal teaching hours so as to ensure the students’ participation and convenience.
For laboratory work there is a continuous assessment (throughout the semester) and the
oral examinations at the end of the semester. For these oral examinations, a second
examiner (the teacher of a related specialisation) is also appointed. Candidates are
examined in the presence of their peers. Final marks will be the average of the two oral
results. For the theoretical subjects (lectures), there are two examination periods (each one
lasting for 2 weeks), at the end of each semester. Students who failed one or more subjects
during the first period, are eligible to re-sit for these subjects at the second period. In case
the student fails in both periods of examinations he has to repeat the subject, and re-sit the
exam again, in the following semester.
The grading marks in all subjects are expressed on a scale ranging from zero to ten (0-10)
with a five (5) counting as a pass. When the subject consists of lectures and laboratory
work, the student must obtain a grade of 5 for both; lectures and laboratory work.
Examinations in each subject are the responsibility of the respective instructor while the
head of the department guarantees proper supervision of the examinations.

4.1 TRUCTURE OF THE PROGRAMME OF STUDY OF THE
Teaching is carried out on the semester basis and includes theoretical
instruction in the various subjects (lectures or seminars), practical (clinical) training,
tutorials, laboratory exercises and field tests, degree projects, as well as external visits
(sites of clinical interest, relevant to particular modules).
Subjects in the curriculum for the Department of Physiotherapy divided into General
subjects, Specific subjects and Specialised subjects. The General subjects (Health
Psychology, Health Informatics, Foreign Language) form the basis of knowledge that a
physiotherapist should have. The Specific subjects include the modules of Anatomy,
Physiology, Orthopaedics, Surgery, Pathology, Neurology, and Diagnosis of Images.
These are aimed at providing the foundations for the application of the theory and the
acquisition of professional skills, related to the Physiotherapy profession. The Specialised
subjects are linked with the medical subjects, and provide up to date specific knowledge in
Physiotherapy in order to make the physiotherapist capable in the decision making of his
patients.
During the 5th, 6th and 7th semester, undergraduate physiotherapy students perform their
Clinical Practice modules into public hospitals, day hospitals etc., where, for the first time,
they come into contact with patients. At that stage students practice their assessment skills
and learn how to manage patients with specific dysfunctions. During their Clinical Practice
modules, students are constantly being supervised by academic staff of the Department and
cooperate with the multidisciplinary team (doctors, physiotherapists, nursing staff etc.) of
each hospital. During the 8th semester the professional placement and dissertation modules
take place (see below for details).
Each subject in the Department's curriculum corresponds to academic units, the so called
European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

interests and are related to Physiotherapy. The dissertation may be completed after the end
of the last semester or in parallel with the practical placement, depending on the scope and
demands of the particular topic. After the completion of the graduation project and its
approval by the respective supervisor, it is submitted to the department and evaluated by a
panel of three members of the teaching staff. For all issues relating to the students’
dissertations (i.e. choice of topics /supervisors /evaluation panel, progress, elaboration,
various problems etc.) the Dissertation Committee (consisting of three members of the
departmental staff) is responsible.
23
PROFESSIONAL PLACEMENT A necessary requirement to qualify with a
Physiotherapy degree from the T.E.I. is a practical training period, following the successful
completion of coursework by the student. Practical training is carried out by means of
clinical placements mainly in the public sector (hospitals) and more rarely in the private
sector or in public hospitals abroad. The Department of Physiotherapy together with the
Professional Placement Committee arranges the students' professional placements. The
duration of clinical placements is set at six months for all students and takes place on the
8th semester (provided that he has successfully completed the whole curriculum). During
the training course the supervisor (who is determined by the Department) is checking the
students (overlooks progress, cooperation, any problems arising etc.). Students receive
payment during the practical placement period and are obliged to conform to the rules of
work and safety of the business like every other member of the staff. Also, each student
submits the book of his Practical Training, which includes all the details of his
employment, days of absence, his progress, as well as his card of I.K.A (social security), to
the secretariat. The Head of the Department to which the supporting documents of the
practical training are submitted, decides whether they are to be accepted or rejected.
