 | | This is an introductory course in geriatric physiotherapy, designed to facilitate understanding of older adults and their needs. Normal physiological and functional changes due to ageing are considered, with emphasis on necessary modification of physiotherapy procedures for geriatric patients. This course focuses on management planning and exercise design for older adults and addresses patient education and motivation The courses addresses the psychological and cognitive changes and conditions in relation to physiotherapy in older adults. | 2013-2024 |
| | This course covers kinesiology of the human musculoskeletal system. It focuses on the interaction between the joints and muscles through the application of the principles of physics and physiology to human movement. This course helps the student to mentally transform a static anatomic image into a dynamic, three-dimensional movement. The course will focus on movement analysis in both normal and pathological conditions. | 2013 till 2015 |
| | This module provides an overview of the research process. It discusses the journey of research from the point of research question formulation to the point of data dissemination. Different quantitative and qualitative research designs are discussed. Literature search, acquiring research articles, critical thinking and literature critiquing is practised. The importance of evidence-based practice is discussed. | 2012-2013 |
| | This course provides the principles and how to use different physical and electrical modalities, this includes thermotherapy like shortwave and infrared, light therapy like the
laser therapy and ultraviolet therapy. It also covers electromagnetic therapy, shock wave therapy and traction. | 2013-2014 |
| | This is an introductory course in geriatrics, designed to facilitate understanding of the elderly and their special needs. Biological and functional changes due to aging are considered, with emphasis on necessary modification of physiotherapy procedures for geriatric patients. Evaluation and treatment planning with geriatric patients will provide clinical experience and enhance learning. | 2012 till 2018 |
| | This course focuses on the importance of assessment and measurement in rehabilitation. It provides an overview of the concepts related to assessment, measurement and evaluation in clinical rehabilitation settings. This course is an introduction to the concepts and models of functioning as a central outcome for rehabilitation. The practical aspect of this module will be a practical application of musculoskeletal assessment (assessment of range of motion ROM and manual muscle testing MMT) and the application of the ICF model to clinical scenarios. | 2014 till 2019 |
| | This course covers the principles (physics, chemical and mechanical), tools, methods of application and clinical applications of a variety of electrical and physical modalities used in physiotherapy. The modalities covered are heat, cold, electrical current, shock wave, laser, hydrotherapy, magnetic therapy, spinal traction and pneumatic compression. | 2014 till 2020 |
| | This course involves physiotherapist - supervised application of physiotherapy theory, examination, evaluation, and intervention. This course involves hands - on training on musculoskeletal, burn, cardiopulmonary, and internal medicine in hospitals. | 2019-2020 |
| | This course covers the necessary knowledge to understand, evaluate, and treat special conditions in the fields of physical therapy such as burns, amputations, vascular and lymphatic disorders, and neurodynamics. Also, it covers the different types and proper use of wheelchairs. The students will be required to integrate the theoretical knowledge and practical skills that they gained in their previous modules to actively participate in discussions and critically analyse the different case scenarios in this module | 2019-2020 |
| | This course provides theoretical and practical basis for measurement in rehabilitation research and practice. Specifically, the design of the course will provide students with the basic knowledge of health outcomes measure and practical skills in selecting appropriate measures for their own research. Psychometric characteristics of standardized tests of body functions, activities, and participation will be introduced. In addition, the course addresses measurement theory, scale development and related statistics, approaches and instruments used to evaluate outcomes in research and practice | 2023-2024 |
| | This course aims to provide students with theoretical and practice-based knowledge on the nature of clinical reasoning and the process of clinical decision-making in physiotherapy practice. A focus of the course will be on the place of interests and motivations in shaping the behavior and decisions of therapists and patients in relation to collaborative decision making, patient-centered care, multidisciplinary decision making, shared decision making, language, communication, and decision aids that involve clients. Students will be required to apply clinical reasoning skills to a range of conditions using case studies to inform clinical decision-making. They will select and evaluate an actual patient to practice clinical reasoning on and provide justification on their decisions and how that reflected in the practice | 2023-2024 |
| | This course aims to introduce students to the knowledge-based, clinical, and practical skills necessary for the prescription and application of exercise as a preventive and therapeutic medium. A particular emphasis will be placed on planned and strategic management of the chronic patient student in an exercise prescription setting; the course will look at a number of relevant chronic medical conditions, assess the influence of the condition on the exercising individual, provide research evidence to verify what is being discussed, and lay out a practical approach to exercising with specific chronic conditions. | 2022-2023 |
| | This course develops in-depth knowledge and skills required to explore evidence-based practice in physiotherapy. Emphasis is placed on the critical appraisal of research evidence and current practice and utilization of best available evidence and good-quality scientific studies in clinical decisions making. Students are expected to critically evaluate current literature and reflect upon their own practice. This course also gives the opportunity to critique literature related to neuro-musculoskeletal physiotherapy practice. Applications will fall within the Physiotherapy Profession Patient/Client Management Model. | 2022-2023 |
