The module will build on previous module content and integrate critical thinking, evidence based practice and contemporary issues in Sports Therapy. These will include aspects of assessment, treatment and rehabilitation and students will develop their ability to use available evidence to guide their clinical decision making.
Students will have opportunities to further refine their clinical and rehabilitation knowledge and skills and use specialist equipment that will support their practice.
This module aims to further develop the students' abilities to justify interventions for sports injury management referring to published guidelines and evidence. Fundamental to this ability will be the development of critical thinking in the students and the ability to evaluate the reliability and validity of the evidence sources available. Students will also develop their knowledge of rehabilitation with particular focus on the development of long-term rehabilitation programmes that include components of pre-habilitation, screening, appropriate exit-criteria and return to play.
On successful completion of this module, the student will be able to:
1. Demonstrate critical understanding of contemporary topics and/or issues in Sports Therapy
2. Develop an injury-specific rehabilitation programme which begins at the early stage, ends at to return to play and incorporates pre-screening and pre-habilitation where appropriate.
3. Exhibit an awareness of the long-term rehabilitation process.
4. Demonstrate technical and coaching competence for a range of rehabilitation exercises outlined in your rehabilitation plan.
Students will extend and consolidate their sports therapy clinical skills with reference to the available evidence base.
