Description
Building on pre' requisite knowledge of human anatomy, this module focuses on the practical application of anatomical knowledge to professional physiotherapy practice. Through theoretical and practical learning, students will explore the structure and function of the neuromuscular system, with an emphasis on the application of biomechanical and anatomical principles in the clinical assessment and rehabilitation.
