SHN5253 - Injury Rehabilitation

Objectives:

On successful completion of the module, students will be able to:

1 - Analyse the use of different treatment options for different phases of injury rehabilitation;
2 - Discuss psychological considerations of injury and injury rehabilitation; and,
3 - Deliver safe rehabilitation sessions and justify choices.

Content:

This module will provide you with an applied experience in a range of activities that underpin rehabilitation, including the theoretical justification for these. The module is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills to implement rehabilitation protocols for all clients and pathologies, from the initial injury / post-operation stage to full functionality and activities of daily living.

Learning and Teaching Information:

This module adopts a blended learning approach, combining interactive seminars and practical sessions in the sports therapy and rehabilitation environment to develop your theoretical understanding and practical competencies. The seminars will allow whole group contribution to include multiple viewpoints and perspectives. The practical sessions will be smaller groups where you will be encouraged to work with a range of your peers. They will include simulations to develop your ability to plan and deliver rehabilitation sessions. There will also be guided independent study where you will consolidate your in-session learning.

Hours: 20
Intended Group Size: Cohort

Further Details Relating to Assessment

001 – Practical (Presentation)
This assessment must be passed (40%) for the module to be passed.

This presentation will require you to analyse a selection of treatments available for the different stages of rehabilitation. In addition, you must discuss the psychological considerations you should be aware of with relation to injury and injury rehabilitation.



002 – Attendance
There is an 80% attendance requirement for this module, which aligns with the expectations of The Society of Sports Therapists (SST). Your attendance will be used to determine whether you will be permitted to attempt the practical assessment (003), and thus could have implications for whether you can pass the module. Detailed below are the potential scenarios.

- 80-100% attendance (inclusive); You will be permitted to attempt the practical assessments (003).
- 50-79% attendance (inclusive); You may not be permitted to attempt the practical assessment (003) in the first attempt assessment window and you will be given a grade of 0 (Non-Submission). You will only be permitted to attempt the practical assessment (003) in the second attempt assessment window if you attend mandatory catch-up sessions.
- 0-49% attendance (inclusive); You will not be permitted to attempt the practical assessment (003) in the first attempt assessment window and you will be given a grade of 0 (Non-Submission). Furthermore, it will not be possible to raise your attendance to a sufficient amount with catch-up sessions, therefore you will not be permitted to attempt the practical assessment (003) in the second attempt assessment window and you will be given a grade of 0 (Non-Submission). This will mean you will not pass the assessment (003) and will not pass the module.



003 – Practical (Rehabilitation Session)
This assessment must be passed (40%) for the module to be passed. Additionally, if you are unsafe at any point in this assessment then the maximum mark you can achieve is 35%.

This assessment will require you plan and deliver a rehabilitation session for a scenario. Furthermore, you must provide justification for your session design and decisions made during the delivery of the session.



Please note that, as detailed above, assessments 001, 002 and 003 constitute a PSRB requirement (The Society of Sports Therapists) for 80% attendance and all theoretical and practical assessments on ‘sports therapy modules’ to be passed.
