MSC C63012 Sports Therapy,
MSC C63024 Sports Therapy
Sports Therapists deal primarily with musculoskeletal complaints, therefore require a thorough knowledge anatomy, pathophysiology and function. One of the primary tasks of a Sports Therapy is to optimise movement, whether in relation to reducing the risk of injury or injury rehabilitation. This module introduces students to anatomy, pathophysiology and the scientific basis underpinning movement.
The aim of this module is:
- To develop knowledge and understanding of the pathophysiology and anatomy of the human body and to link this knowledge and understanding to the impact on structure, function and wellbeing of an individual.
By the end of this module, students will be expected to be able to:
- Describe, locate, palpate and identify musculoskeletal structures
- Demonstrate a critical understanding of physiological and functional movements
- Demonstrate a specific knowledge of the impact of pathological changes in the body systems and the impact on wellbeing
Students will learn theoretical and practical skills around structure and function. These will include:
- Structure and function of relevant systems
- Location of key anatomical musculoskeletal structures (muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint lines, bones etc.)
- Functional movements
- Systems pathophysiology in relation to common injuries or conditions
- Inflammation, healing, and soft tissue and bone repair
- Pain
- Weekly lectures and accompanying slides (total time 2h). Students are able to access these materials anytime via Listen Again if they are not able to attend.
- Weekly self-directed learning activities (e.g., articles, videos, blogs). Include a variety of activities that include different medium of instruction (e.g., audio, video) to suit different learning styles.
- Weekly practical classes (2h). These classes will take place on campus only, and attendance will be monitored. Students will be supported and encouraged to attend. It is a PSRB requirement to attend a minimum of 80% of all practical sessions in order to be eligible to sit the practical exam.
- Weekly self-directed practice (recommended time 2-3h). Sports Therapy labs will be made available outside of teaching for students to practice their practical techniques.
