Module Indicative Content
This module will revisit and develop to an advanced level the theory and application of peripheral joint mobilisations as well as developing theory and practice surrounding vertebral mobilisation techniques.
Accepted mobilisation techniques (including Maitland and Kaltenborn) will be critically evaluated and utilised to treat a range of relevant joint pathologies common in sports therapy.
Spinal anatomy will be covered in detail along with common spinal pathologies and disorders. Appropriate interventions will be studied and practiced in practical workshops.

Module Additional Assessment Details
Practical Assessment (1hr) - 60% (LO's 1 & 2)
Carry out a spinal assessment and deliver appropriate safe and effective mobilisation techniques.
Perform a range of peripheral mobilisations appropriate for given joint pathologies.
There will be a short viva to give the opportunity to reflect upon performance and demonstrate a knowledge of underpinning knowledge in this area
Written assessment (2000 words) - 40% (LO's 1 & 3)
Critical review of current research related to joint mobilisations
All elements of summative assessment MUST be passed to achieve an overall pass in this module.
Formative assessment will be provided via practice situations, discussions and independent study exercises.
You are required to have 80% attendance on this module.
