Development of knowledge & skills for the physiotherapist to use to manage neurological disorders. The assessment process, interpretation of findings, clinical reasoning, selection/application of techniques to progressively manage defined problems, & to quantify outcome is emphasised.
This course aims to build on previous coursework and provide students with the knowledge and skills required to be a competent graduating physiotherapist in the field of neurological physiotherapy. Specifically, it will: develop an understanding of a variety of neurological disorders, symptomatology and management strategies; develop an understanding of assessment procedures to define activity limitations and impairments; promote the use of clinical reasoning as a basis for treatment planning and progressive management to address goals established with clients;ﾠaid students with their understanding of the evidence base for neurological physiotherapy, and use this information to assist with the appropriate selection and optimal application of treatment strategies, fostering client self-management at all stages of rehabilitation; and develop skills in the selection and application of outcomes measures. Skills in communication, assessment, observational analysis, problem solving, treatment planning, selection/application of evidence-based treatment strategies through task set up / progression, handling and other treatment strategies/technical applications will be developed to ensure competency prior to graduation as a physiotherapist. The capacity to evaluate the literature for evidence of the efficacy of management procedures will be fostered. An understanding of the legal and ethical requirements of the profession and organisation of employment will be promoted, such as informed consent and appropriate written records/statistical information. An awareness of the role of inter-professional teams and service providers will also be fostered.
