Overview

This topic provides the theoretical basis and practical knowledge to enable students to design and apply advanced exercise prescription in people with neurological and musculoskeletal disorders for the promotion of return to work (occupational conditioning) or routine exercise (overall health promotion). This topic presents students an overview of common neuromusculoskeletal … For more content click the Read More button below.

Aims

  • Demonstrate the ability to design evidence-based exercise interventions for people with work or exercise-related neuromusculoskeletal conditions as part of the overall rehabilitation or risk management strategy
  • Critically evaluate the pathophysiological processes and allied medical treatment strategies of common neurological and musculoskeletal disorders, that enable interdisciplinary practice within a primary and secondary health care setting
  • Analyse and evaluate the scope of clinical exercise physiology practice and compare roles of Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) from other health professionals in a multi-disciplinary care and rehabilitation environments
  • Critically analyse approaches to exercise prescription/functional assessments in primary and secondary health care settings to promote activities of daily living, sport, return to work, and in the prevention of injury in patients with neurological and musculoskeletal disorders
  • Transmit knowledge in the biomechanical basis of functional exercise strategies enabling advanced approaches to exercise prescription in common neurological and musculoskeletal conditions
