Physiotherapy Healthcare and Society
PHTY5202
This unit of study will include two modules: an advanced musculoskeletal module and an advanced clinical reasoning module addressing complex patient-centred healthcare in society. The musculoskeletal module will focus on the development of advanced manual therapy assessment, treatment and clinical reasoning skills. Skills taught will include high velocity manipulative techniques. The advanced clinical reasoning module will enable students to develop their skills in analysing and planning management of patients with multi-system and/or complex problems. Students are required to source and integrate material from core areas of musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary and neurological physiotherapy as well as background sciences. Specific emphasis will be placed on fostering development of independent and eLearning skills as well as development of a deeper understanding of the role of lifelong learning in improving societal health. Students will be expected to evaluate the scientific basis and ethical, legal and practical implications of physiotherapy interventions within the context of interprofessional team care and global health priorities.
