PHYSIOTH 2002 - Applied Physiotherapy Practice B

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2023

This course expands and applies the knowledge and skills developed in previous courses to the upper limb, head and nervous system. Students will build on professional practice knowledge developed in first and second years, extend their clinical reasoning skills and physiotherapy assessment and management skills. Students will explore the professional practice issues of scope of practice, practice thresholds, codes of conduct, legislation and regulation in relation to contemporary practice. You will apply clinical reasoning frameworks to the upper limb, head and nervous system and explore physiotherapy assessment and management skills for upper limb neuro-musculo-skeletal conditions. Basic assessments for the central nervous system will be introduced, which will be further developed in third year.

Student Feedback

The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
