Module Additional Assessment Details
A WRITTEN REPORT, consisting of 3000 words in total (assessing learning outcomes 1and 2)
The written report has two components to be submitted at the same time. The first component (part A) involves the development of a qualitative assessment tool to measure a selected human movement, and is written as a report consisting of 750 words, weighted at 35%. The second component (part B) consists of a written report of an injury that may result from the movement described in part A, an assessment of that movement, and a rehabilitation programme to treat the injury. Part B consists of 2250 words, and is weighted at 65%.
All elements of summative assessment MUST be passed to achieve an overall pass in this module.
Additional Assessment Details (including formative feedback / assessment:
Students will be provided with formative assessment and feedback via their peer group and the tutor within practical laboratory sessions. The lab sessions allow students to work together in a non-competitive, co-operative manner, so that they can learn from each other, with tutor guidance to assist the learning process. Guest patients will attend the laboratories so that students can put their theory into practice, and gain feedback on the use of their selected rehabilitation techniques.
Formative learning experiences will be followed up by directed study exercises.

Module Indicative Content
The module will cover various approaches to the kinesiological analysis of motor skills, including applied kinesiology of exercise and fitness and procedures for the anatomical analysis of movement. A particular feature will be the study of the injuries of the musculo-skeletal system, their management and rehabilitation.
