Description

This course provides the opportunity for students to understand the potential and limitations of exercise as a tool for clinical rehabilitation in humans with neurological disorders. Specific information about a range of neuromuscular disorders is provided, and students are encouraged to apply their knowledge to case studies and scenarios in order to develop the scientific and clinical attributes necessary to contribute effectively to a neuromuscular rehabilitation team. This course offers a mixture of traditional and interactive/case study approaches to learning and includes a series of case method tutorials that emphasise the application of theory to clinical situations. These case method tutorials are designed as a bridge between the lifestyle change project with an apparently healthy client in HESC3504 and the year 4 clinical practicum courses in the workplace.
