Summary
The module includes:
- exploration of the functional organisation of the central nervous system.
- Developing knowledge of other neurological conditions not covered in year two (eg motor neurone disease, spinal and head injury, Huntingdon's disease).
- Critical review of physiotherapy treatment and wider management offered to people with neuroloigcal conditions is developed at a personal and professional level.
The change in specificity is to increase the focus on the rehabilitation application elements (rather than theory of rehabilitation) within the knowledge. This is with the aim of increasing applicable of knowledge in a clinical setting
Target Students
level 3 physiotherapy students.
Classes
1 day per week for 6 weeks. These sessions will include teaching sessions, discussion, debate and practical sessions. It is suggested that students attend at least two sessions (1 hour session) of the exercise session for people with neurological conditions at the David Ross sports village to help develop application of knowledge.
Assessment
- 100% Assignment: Case presentation15 mins plus 5 mins questions
Assessed by end of autumn semester
Educational Aims
To provide the student with a greater insight into neurorehabiliation and a wider range of neurological conditions. To build upon the knowledge and insight gained from the year 2 modules and the clinical modules in semesters 5 and 6. To better enable students to assess and treat people with neurological conditions.Learning Outcomes
The student should be able to gather and record information from a wider range of sources, by a variety of methods, and discuss their ideas verbally.
The student should be able to discuss the anatomical and physiological organisation of motor systems in the central nervous system and the possible mechanisms by which physiotherapy may influence this.
Students should be able to discuss the clinical and academic research which may impact upon the rehabilitaiton of patients.
The student should be able to communicate using written, verbal and non verbal modes.
The student should be able to use information technology to identify and access information.
The student should be able to record and manage data and to process and/or analyse research findings.
The student should be able to discuss the impact of different professional groups on the delivery of care and explain the means by which this care may be accessed or referred.
The student should be able to synthesise information from different sources, communicate complex ideas verbally or in writing, critically analyse literature and construct complex arguments. from a broad literature base.
