Summary
This module comprises a range of teaching and learning in the dissection room with prosections and images.
These sessions will concentrate on the anatomy of the body regions inclusive of osteology, myology, neurology and other relevant structures where required. Teaching includes the upper and lower extremities, and axial skeleton/torso.
A practical element will be provided to this module in the form of surface anatomy orientation and practice.
Target Students
MSc/PGDip Sports and Exercise Medicine and MSc Applied Sport and Exercise Medicine students
Classes
This module will include a variety of teaching, including in the dissection room, surface anatomy teaching and lectures.
Assessment
- 100% In Class Exam 1 (Practical): 2 hours - An objective structured clinical examination (OSCE)
Assessed by end of designated period
Educational Aims
The overall aim of this module is to integrate the knowledge, skills and techniques required for the effective application of anatomy into the applied assessment of sports injuries. Anatomy sessions:• To enhance and build on previous undergraduate anatomy knowledge by improving and gaining a working knowledge of surface anatomy.• To provide an opportunity for students to examine pro-sections and to revise body region specific anatomy. Radiology sessions:• To enhance the students’ ability to understand x-ray, MRI, CT and ultrasound scan reports front an anatomical perspective.• To provide an opportunity for students to examine a variety of radiological images showing specific conditions related to sport.Learning Outcomes
Knowledge and Understanding:
- To know the anatomy relevant to sports injuries in specific body regions and understand the biomechanics in identifying causes of injury and pathology related to these structures and their role in injury prevention
- To have an underpinning knowledge of x-rays, ultrasound, CT and MRI scans relevant to body regions and to be able to read a basic x-ray/scan and know the role of further investigations.
Skills:
- Ability to identify and palpate parts of the human anatomy with a specific emphasis on musculoskeletal medicine.
- Ability to clinically identify a body area, functioning muscle or nerve to aid in clinical assessment and examination.
