Abstract

Aims: This study aimed to analyze the scientific works produced in the Physiotherapy undergraduate program at the Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás, in the area of neurology and neurofunctionality, published in the Undergraduate Academic Repository (RAG). Methods: It is a documentary survey, with a quantitative and descriptive approach, carried out through the analysis of Course Completion Papers published between December 2020 and December 2025. Results: 439 works were identified, of which 40 (9.11%) were in the area of neurology. Studies involving children predominated (40%), followed by young adults (27.5%) and the elderly (25%). Regarding the methodological design, literature reviews were most frequent (70%), followed by observational studies (27.5%) and experience reports (2.5%). Regarding the pathologies addressed, cerebral palsy (25%), Down syndrome (17.5%), Parkinson's disease (12.5%), and stroke (12.5%) stood out. Conclusion: It concluded that scientific production in the field of neurology is still limited in the analyzed context, with a predominance of review studies and thematic concentration on specific pathologies, highlighting the need to encourage methodological diversification and expansion of research in the area.
