This module aims to provide a knowledge and understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy. At the end of the module students will be able to identify key structures and landmarks essential for clinical practice. They will be introduced to traditional and contemporary concepts of anatomy and be able to apply this knowledge to sporting function and injury.

The scope of this module will include the function, structure and location of bones, muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and bursae.

This understanding and applied knowledge is integral to the sports therapy course and is a key building block for the development of an undergraduate sports therapist.

1 hour OSCE style examination which will include both practical and written components-
100% (LO’s 1 and 2). This assessment MUST be passed to successfully complete the module, compensation is NOT permitted.

Students will have 1 hour to complete a series of tasks allocated to individual stations.
These tasks will include: locating key structures on a model or diagram, identifying key structures or landmarks on a model and answering multiple choice / short answer questions relating to underpinning principles of clinical anatomy.

Formative assessment.
Information and feedback will form an intergral part of clinical workshops and practice assessments will take place in-class with supporting material on blackboard.
