This unit of study builds on and expands the knowledge, skills and attributes developed in Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy and Neurological Physiotherapy. Three modules are included: cardiopulmonary physiotherapy in the acute care environment, acute neurological/neurosurgical care and physiotherapy for neurodegenerativeconditions .The acute care module focuses on assessment and treatment of patients with acute pulmonary dysfunction. In addition students examine specific clinical and professional issues relating to the intensive care and acute care environment. The emphasis is on appropriate assessment, safe and effective management of intubated and nonintubated patients. The acute neurological/neurosurgical module focuses on physiotherapy management of acute neurological and neurosurgical conditions. The neurodegenerative conditions module examines the pathology, impairments, activity limitations and participation restrictions arising from neurodegenerative conditions which require adaptation (such as Parkinson's disease, multiplesclerosis and motor neuron disease). Students learn to assess, train and prescribe appropriate aids to enable everyday activities to be carried out and to promote participation.
