Module Aims
The main aims of the module are:
Develop knowledge of musculoskeletal rehabilitation principles – including tissue-specific healing, tissue mechanics, and joint arthrokinematics – to inform safe and effective recovery strategies.
Enable practical application of rehabilitation interventions – designing, delivering, and monitoring evidence-informed programmes for individuals and small groups, integrating biomechanical, physiological, and strength and conditioning principles.
Cultivate applied research skills – formulating research questions, selecting and implementing appropriate methodologies, analysing data, and communicating findings to contribute to professional practice and evidence-informed rehabilitation.
Content Summary
By the end of this module, you will be able to design, implement, and evaluate evidence-informed rehabilitation programmes for musculoskeletal injuries. You will demonstrate an understanding of tissue-specific healing processes, tissue mechanics, and joint arthrokinematics, enabling you to differentiate between generic and tissue-specific recovery and apply this knowledge to safe and effective rehabilitation strategies.
You will explore how mechanical loading, diet, and lifestyle factors influence tissue healing, using this insight to develop rehabilitation plans tailored to individual recovery stages and functional goals—focusing primarily on the early and mid-stages of injury rehabilitation. Practical sessions will focus on safely delivering interventions to individuals and small groups, monitoring progress, and integrating biomechanical, physiological, and strength and conditioning principles into your rehabilitation programmes.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Synchronous Onsite Practical Assessment | Practical Test 1 | The purpose of this assessment is to integrate practical skills, theoretical knowledge, and critical self-evaluation within the context of musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Recording a rehabilitation session allows students to demonstrate their ability to design, implement, and adapt a structured rehabilitation programme in a realistic client setting. The subsequent self-reflection and questioning process encourages students to critically justify their exercise selection, progression, and overall programme design in relation to tissue-specific healing processes, client needs, and evidence-informed practice. | 30 | N/A | 50 | No | 40 |
| Synchronous Online Oral Assessment | Individual Presentation (Synchronous Online) | * Or Group presentation- 10 mins each individual. This assessment allows students to apply evidence-informed principles of musculoskeletal rehabilitation through a laboratory report examining the effects of a specific exercise intervention. Students will analyse collected data, interpret outcomes, and evaluate findings in relation to physiological principles and best practice. The assessment integrates theoretical knowledge with practical application, enabling students to demonstrate understanding of exercise effects, rehabilitation planning, progression, and functional considerations. | 15 | N/A | 50 | No | 40 |
