Exercise and Rehabilitation
EXSS3027
The aim of this unit is to investigate the pathophysiological basis of a range of musculoskeletal injuries including the lower back, shoulder, knee, groin, hip and thigh, and the application of exercise to rehabilitate functional capacity for patients who suffer from them. A major emphasis of this unit is the strategic application of the principles of exercise prescription to return an injured patient to full activity as quickly and safely as possible. This includes examing scientific evidence for the safety and efficacy of numerous exercise modalities to help establish core stability; re-establishing neuromuscular control; restore full range of motion; restore or increase muscular strength, endurance, and power; and maintain cardio-respiratory fitness.
