Description
The module allows students to gain an understanding of the structure and function of normal human anatomy while providing a basis for the understanding and analysis of posture and normal human movement. It encourages students to apply their knowledge of anatomy in a practical setting. Topics covered include but not limited to:
- Universally accepted anatomical terminology and assessment of human movement with reference to such terminology.
- Assessment and analysis of human posture e.g. normal and abnormal postures, postural types.
- Introduction to the assessment of functional movement and training approaches.
- Identification and accurate palpation of upper and lower limb osseous, ligamentous, joint and muscular structures.
- Review and present common musculoskeletal injury mechanisms, assessment and treatments.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Demonstrate a good level of knowledge of principles of functional anatomy, normal human movement patterns, and postural alignment assessment.
2.
Describe and apply appropriate tests to measure functional movement patterns that may contribute to injuries in the spine and peripheral joints or affect performance of sporting/daily activities.
3.
In groups, plan and design a presentation of the injury mechanism, and treatment techniques; for a specific soft tissue injury.
4.
Demonstrate an ability to identify functional anatomy and demonstrate joint range of movement.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
The module will adopt a practical student centred approach. This approach will provide opportunity for identifying anatomical features of the human body in a real life learning environment. Such experiences will enrich the student's application of anatomical terminology and assessment of movement experience. This approach will informally develop students soft skills in terms of interacting with people. Principles and theories will be presented and explained in lectures and explored further in practicals. Students will be encouraged to actively participate in practicals through the use of case studies of practical working examples and through discussion. Students will work independently in presenting evidence based exercise prescription plans and will receive feedback on their progress from the lecturer and their peers.
Module Assessment Strategies
This module is 65% Continuous Assessment and 35% Final Exam. A variety of different assessment methods will be used to suit a variety of learning styles including practical, short answer/multiple choice questions, group presentations and a final exam.
Repeat Assessments
A student may repeat all or part of the continuous assessment and/or the final exam where they have met the 75% minimum attendance at practicals.
If a student fails to meet the 75% minimum attendance, they will be recommended to repeat-attend the practicals.
Indicative Syllabus
- Functional anatomy related to the spine, and peripheral joints.
- Movement patterns in the spinal and peripheral joints.
- Functional activities and training.
- Common soft tissue injuries.
- Mechanisms that contribute to spinal and peripheral joint injuries.
