Syllabus
This unit introduces students to physiotherapy management in disorders of the peripheral joints of the human musculoskeletal system following a patient-centred approach. Students will study the pathophysiology and orthopaedic management of common musculoskeletal disorders. Students will learn the clinical reasoning and practical skills required for assessment and intervention.
This unit is co-taught with unit 6449 Musculoskeletal Interventions 1 PG.
Learning Outcomes
- After completing this unit, students will be able to undertake a subjective and objective patient assessment and from this information plan and implement a simple treatment program.
