The unit builds upon the material covered and the skills learned during PHTY1023, and introduces basic assessment interpretation and treatment techniques, and evidence-based practice. PHTY1024 continues the context of physiotherapy professional practice on issues and practices in healthcare delivery affecting physiotherapists. Students will be introduced to basic therapeutic techniques, such as manual therapy, the use of electro-therapeutic agents, and exercise prescription. Tools enabling students to find and interpret current evidence for, and validity and reliability of, potential therapeutic interventions will be provided and practiced. At the end of the unit, the students will be expected to be able to devise appropriate treatment plans for simple case studies. The importance of communication, documentation and respect for cultural differences in profession practice is continued throughout this unit.
