Course description

This course provides fundamental knowledge and understanding to assess and manage client conditions involving pathology, injury and pain of the neuromusculoskeletal system. The course is based on a client-centred framework and uses an interprofessional teamwork approach. As a foundation for comprehensive and informed client assessment and management, the course covers: 1) foundations of neuromusculoskeletal physiotherapy (e.g. mobility aids; orthoses; tissue pathology and repair processes; pain; the association of the skeletal and neuromuscular systems with pain, injury and pathology); and 2) the application of foundations to physiotherapy and medical management of clients with specific neuromusculoskeletal conditions (e.g. rheumatological disorders, orthopaedic conditions, vascular conditions, amputations, burn injury, spinal cord injury).
