Overview

In this unit students will be exposed to principles of exercise rehabilitation and commence their application of this additional patient management strategy to patient cases. Students will continue to build on knowledge surrounding examination and interpretation of diagnostic images. Students will evaluate the common presentations and management strategies of common rheumatological presentations pertinent to osteopathic practice.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Explore the principles of rehabilitation programs and evaluate their role in preventative and rehabilitative care of the patient
  2. Formulate and interpret exercise management programs to support the rehabilitation of patient complaints with a focus on the spine;
  3. Formulate likely diagnoses based on findings from diagnostic images;
  4. critically analyse and interpret spinal diagnostic images and recommend appropriate management strategies from the conclusion of images; and
  5. Conceptually map the presentation and management of rheumatological conditions commonly seen in osteopathic practice.
