SHN6203 - Interventions and S&C in Rehabilitation

Objectives:

Assessment tasks are designed to enable students to demonstrate the Learning and Employability outcomes for the relevant level of study. Level Learning Outcomes are embedded in the assessment task(s) at that level. This enables a more integrated view of overall student performance at each level.

Content:

This module develops from the principles of rehabilitation introduced at Level 5. You will investigate how concepts of strength and conditioning influence rehabilitation and are used to safely return the athlete to sport / activity. You will learn how to work with patients in an individual and group rehabilitation setting, developing on the ideas of inclusive, evidenced based rehabilitation introduced in Sports Injury Rehabilitation.

Along-side this you will study and discuss the implantation of common nutritional strategies used in the support and rehabilitation of athletes.

Further details relating to assessment
Assessment 001 – Students will perform a critical evaluation of the literature surrounding a particular form or rehabilitation or strength and conditioning method. The essay will examine the available literature and students should use their clinical reasoning and critical appraisal skills to synthesise the contemporary literature. Students will have the opportunity to research a particular area of interest within the module content.

Assessment 002 - Design a return-to-play programme for a sport performer. In doing so students will prepare a sample of an individual AND group session. Students will be required to present one of these sessions in their final practical exam at the end of the semester. The return-to-play programme should consider the sport specific demands in terms of physiology, psychology, nutrition and conditioning.

Assessment 003 – Students will present their return to play session for either the individual athlete or a group training session. The type of session will be allocated at random on the day of the exam. Students will be required to provide a session plan and undergo a short viva at the end of the session.

Formative Assessment - This will be ongoing throughout the module and include tutor and peer feedback and discussions. There will also be an opportunity for formative feedback on Assessment 001 prior to the hand in date and assessment unpacking preparation for Assessment 002 prior to the submission date.

Other details
It is a requirement of the PSRB that the practical component (Assessment 003) must be passed to pass the module. Student sports therapists must be able to demonstrate safe and effective practice.
