Module Details
Module Indicative Content
In this module the student will continue to develop knowledge of anatomy and physiology relevant to sports therap. The will also develop an understanding of common causes / mechanics of injury, the body's physiological response to trauma and the subsequent healing process of soft tissue structures.
Effective and accepted methods of evaluating and assessing common injuries will be discussed and practiced. Students will learn how to undertake a thorough clinical evaluation, using appropriate monitoring techniques. The student will then learn and apply a range of clinical tests to evaluate and assess common injuries throughout the body

Module Additional Assessment Details
Students will be required to complete 2 pieces of summative assessment:
1. written exam (1 hour) covering theoretical aspects of injuries, including anatomy and physiology (LOs 1,2 & 3) 50%
2. Practical exam covering client assessment and injury evaluation (LOs 3,4 & 5) 50%
All element of summative assessment must be passed to gain an overall pass in this module
Additional Assessment Details (including formative feedback/ assessment)
Students will be continually provided with feedback during clinical/laboratory sessions on their injury assessment skills. A formative practical assessment session will be used prior to the summative assessment to formatively assess the student¿s competency. Independent learning activities will be set following lectures and clinical/laboratory sessions that will provide the opportunity for students to assess their own level of knowledge.
