| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| To enable the student to apply knowledge of anatomy to human movement and function in relation to basic physiotherapeutic assessment. To enable the student to safely and effectively perform and interpret physiotherapy assessments and to develop skills in handling, positioning, communication and professionalism. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Accurately and professionally identify and demonstrate an applied knowledge of anatomy. |
| 2 | Safely and effectively perform core subjective and objective assessment techniques. |
| 3 | Discuss biomechanical principles underpinning normal human movement and function. |
| 4 | Demonstrate an understanding of basic descriptive statistics occurring in work, lectures or reading material and analyse, interpret and record data obtained from subjective and objective assessment techniques. |
| 5 | Demonstrate a range of professional behaviours and skills, a patient centred approach to care. |
| Indicative Module Content |
