Indicative Content
This module gives the student the opportunity to practice and contextualise skills developed in all previous modules. There will be opportunity to discuss, develop and justify clinical practice ustilising a number of scenario based projects.
The student will also expand their scope of clinical practice considering topics such as pain, drugs in sport and injury, special populations, post-surgical considerations and psychological consideration of injury rehabilitation. These areas will then be critically investigated and the student will be able to select and apply appropriate modalities as part of a rehabilitation programme utilising an in-depth, critical knowledge of underlying principles.
There will be opportunities throughout the module to apply and develop clinical skills in applied clinical workshops. These workshops are designed to support the assessment task which is to develop and implement a full holistic rehabilitation programme for an athlete which will be presented as a case scenario.
