Unit of Study: BIOS5089 - Advanced Musculoskeletal Anatomy
This unit will extend undergraduate knowledge of the functional anatomy of the neuro-musculo-skeletal system by using recent research evidence to evaluate the validity of clinical assessment procedures, interpretation of assessment findings and treatment approaches in neuro-musculo-skeletal disorders. It will explore possible additional treatment techniques consistent with an approach to rehabilitation that is valid with respect to functional anatomy while appreciating the limitations of current functional anatomy knowledge in evaluating the assessment and treatment of the neuro-musculo-skeletal system. In the study of advanced musculoskeletal anatomy this unit will use current relevant research literature to extend students' critical evaluation and life-long learning skills.
