Description

This course describes the use of exercise as a clinical rehabilitation tool for humans with musculoskeletal pathologies and injuries. In addition, the course explains why impairment in motor control, repeated movements and / or sustained postures may predispose people to musculoskeletal injury and perpetuate chronic pain. The course delivers information about evaluation, design and implementation of movement-based rehabilitation techniques for musculoskeletal injuries and movement impairment syndromes. Students will also refine skills for assessing the physical demands of different work tasks and for rehabilitating and maintaining musculoskeletal function to meet workplace demands. This course offers a mixture of traditional and interactive/case study approaches to learning and includes a series of case method tutorials that emphasise the application of theory to clinical situations. These case method tutorials are designed as a bridge between the lifestyle change project with an apparently healthy client in HESC3504 and the year 4 clinical practicum courses in the workplace.
