Description

This unit demonstrates how anatomical and physiological concepts associated with Sport and Exercise Science are used in rehabilitating individuals with specific injuries or illnesses. The unit focuses on the physical capacities of muscular strength and endurance, flexibility and cardiorespiratory endurance as they affect the ability to carry out daily work, sporting and recreational activities.

Non Standard Timetable Requirements

Students will be required to attend practical laboratories on the Joondalup Campus for this unit.

Prerequisite Rule

(Students must pass 1 units from SPS1104, SPS1111 AND Students must pass 1 units from EBH1101)

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Apply testing protocols associated with movement-related components of physical fitness to specific populations requiring physical training as part of rehabilitation.
  2. Consult effectively with clients and report and interpret their physiological data.
  3. Describe the anatomical, physiological and pathological characteristics of selected injuries and illnesses.
  4. Describe the role of an exercise physiologist within a multi-disciplinary team involved in rehabilitation.
  5. Identify selected psycho-social issues associated with specific populations involved in rehabilitation programs.
  6. Prescribe and supervise physical training programs for specific populations who require improved physical performance.

Unit Content

  1. Applied kinesiology.
  2. Medical aspects of selected injuries and illnesses.
  3. Neck and low back injuries and their rehabilitation.
  4. Psycho-social issues associated with rehabilitation.
  5. Cardiovascular disease and cardiac rehabilitation.
  6. Consultation, counselling and report writing.
  7. Assessment of posture, gait, range of motion and strength as related to rehabilitation.
