Module Details
Module Additional Assessment Details
Practical Assessment - 50% (LO's 2and 3)
Assess a client with a sports injury. Using clinical reasoning and differential diagnosis techniques you will evaluate a `real client's injury of the lower body
Written examination (1 hour) - 50% (LO's 1, 2 and 3)
Unseen written examination covering the underpinning theoretical issue of this module. This will include anatomy, the healing process, types of injury, specific tissue response to injury, and the development of a rehabilitation plan.
All elements of summative assessment MUST be passed to achieve and overall pass in this module.
You are required to have 80% attendance on this module.
Formative assessment will be provided throughout the module via practice situations, discussions and independent study exercises.

Module Indicative Content
In this module the student will continue to develop knowledge of anatomy and physiology of the lower body relevant to sports therapy.
They 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.
Emphasis in this module will be on developing clinical reasoning skills and injury evaluation of lower body injuries utilising accepted methods of injury assessment. Clinical and functional testing procedures will be learnt and practiced throughout the module.
The module will then examine safe and effective means of treatment and rehabilitation of lower body sports injuries. This module looks at the components, outcomes, goals and objectives of a rehabilitation programme form acute stage to post-discharge.
Specific rehabilitation tools covered in the rehabilitation tools module will be utilised as part of a progressive rehabilitation programme.
Criteria for progression and return to competition will be discussed and evaluated.
