Assumed knowledge
Knowledge gained in previous topics in BHS.
Assessment
Examination (mid semester (40%): End of semester Exam (60%); Participation in and contribution to weekly tutorials / online discussion forums will be required to pass (non graded pass /fail).Students are expected to attend all sessions and an 85% attendance rate will be required to pass
Topic description
In this topic students will gain an understanding of movement and function in healthy humans, including coordination of posture, balance and gait. The effect of injury and pain on posture and function will be introduced. The process of injury and healing, and acute and chronic pain states will be examined in a biopsychosocial context, in particular as related to exercise adherence.
Educational aims
The topic aims to further develop students understanding of tissue healing, pain, motor control and function with a view towards application in future clinical physiotherapy practice.
Expected learning outcomes
On completion of this topic you will be expected to be able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of tissue injury, healing and repair - physiology and functional implications, sufficient for future clinical physiotherapy practice
- Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of pain - neurophysiology and functional implications, sufficient for future clinical physiotherapy practice
- Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the application of the biopsychosoical model in the assessment of pain and function, sufficient for future clinical physiotherapy practice
- Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of motor control - neurophysiology and functional implications, sufficient for future clinical physiotherapy practice
- Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of normal movement - control of posture, balance and gait, sufficient for future clinical physiotherapy practice
