Module Aims
To develop a knowledge and critical understanding of the early and intermediate rehabilitation of common musculoskeletal injuries and illness sustained in the sports and exercise environment.
To develop a comprehensive rehabilitation programme appropriate for the tissue, joint arthrokinematics and sports specific requirements of the athlete
To critically apply current literature to support the development of appropriate rehabilitation programmes.
Content Summary
In this module students will study: -
Mechanotherapy, tissue mechanics and stress-strain curves
Tissue healing, load tolerance and forces
Joint arthrokinematics and restoration of normal movement
Range of movement including passive, active, prolonged and assisted methods
Isometric, concentric and eccentric strength
Muscular strength endurance, strength, hypertrophy and power
Agility, balance, co-ordination and proprioception
Exercise selection and prescription
Rehabilitative Exercise programming
Assistive devices for non/partial weight bearing
Surgical and conservative management methods
All assessment components must be passed by the student.
Students must attend more than 80% of the module to complete the practical assessment
