Summary

This module will provide Sport Rehabilitation students with the underpinning human anatomical knowledge needed by a Graduate Sport Rehabilitator. This will allow students the opportunity to develop a clear grasp of the concepts and information needed to allow clinical impressions along with subsequent assessment and rehabilitation plans to be formed. Students will be introduced to a holistic approach to anatomy covering the whole human body meeting global educational standards within the field of Sport Rehabilitation, Athletic Training and Therapy.

Classes

Teaching You are taught through a combination of lectures, seminars and practicals. Lectures may take place either on campus or online to deliver the theoretical underpinning of a subject. Seminars enable you to discuss and develop your understanding of topics covered in lectures in smaller groups. Practicals allow you the opportunity to apply your theoretical knowledge in vocational environments and engaging with contemporary equipment and facilities. Your contact hours per week vary, but typically for this module will account for around 3 contact hours every other week. This typically consists of: • 1 hour of lecture • 2 hours of practicals Independent Learning When not attending lectures, seminars, practicals, or other timetabled sessions, you will be expected to continue learning independently through self-study. Typically, this will involve reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, undertaking research in the library, preparing coursework assignments and presentations, and preparing for examinations. Your independent learning is supported by a range of excellent facilities, including the library, Moodle, and our clinical skills suite. Academic support Our Academic Support Team provides help in the following areas: • Study skills (including reading, note-taking and presentation skills) • Written English (including punctuation and grammatical accuracy) • Academic writing (including how to reference) • Research skills (in conjunction with the library) • Critical thinking and understanding arguments • Revision, assessment and examination skills (including time management) Our Disability Support Service works to create an inclusive and equitable teaching and learning environment to the benefit of all students. They provide help to students with a disability, mental health difficulty, long term medical condition, autistic spectrum condition, or a specific learning difference such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia or ADHD. Teaching staff You will be taught by an experienced teaching team whose expertise and knowledge are closely matched to the content of the modules on the academic plan. The team includes senior academics, professional practitioners with industry experience, demonstrators and technical officers. Postgraduate research students who have undertaken teacher training may also contribute to the teaching of seminars under the supervision of the module leader. Our teaching is informed by the research and consultancy we undertake.
