Description for 2023/24

The Applied anatomy, Physiology and Movement Science module builds on content introduced in the anatomy, physiology and movement science modules of the MSci Physiotherapy programme and enables the student to apply their knowledge gained to the application of practical skills.
Students will have the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills of basic therapeutic handling which underpins Physiotherapy assessment and management throughout the MSci programme.
The module aims to prepare the with basic practical handling techniques as core skills that can be applied in a variety of healthcare settings and specialities as well as develop transferable skills (such as communication, infection control and basic handling).

The module aims to apply the knowledge and understanding to:
Practically apply knowledge of normal anatomy and physiology to the human body.
Practically apply basic movement science principles in the healthy adult.
Develop the students handling and communication skills.
