Unit of Study: PHTY5105 - Theoretical Basis of Clinical Practice
The majority of this unit will involve the study of the pathophysiological adaptations of muscle and nerve to training and disuse from both the physical and behavioural perspectives. This unit consists of five modules: pain; muscle physiology; exercise (resistance exercise); exercise (aerobic conditioning) and motor learning. Each module will build on knowledge gained in the relevant areas of the student's undergraduate physiotherapy degree by advancing their understanding and application of basic and pre-clinical sciences. This advanced understanding will then be used to examine topics related to the student's specific discipline.
Unit coordinator: Dr Alison Harmer
Classes: Web-based modules, one 2 day block session
Assessment: Three 500-750 word written reports (60%), 2hr short answer question exam (40%)
