Module description:
This course covers skills in analytical thought for study of human movement
disorders. This course concentrates on physical therapy assessment and treatment
of different cases of traumatology including fractures, and dislocations and sport
injuries. This course also enables the student to have detailed information
concerning the process of normal and abnormal healing of fractures and the
complications of fractures including those related to prolonged bed recumbence.
1
This will include scientific study and application of selected physical therapy
principles in both assessment and treatment. This course also focuses on standard
safety precautions, new research and clinical experiences concerning evaluation and
treatment of different orthopaedic diseases affecting the lower limb. Indications,
contra indications and precautions of different physical therapy techniques for
treatment of surgical orthopaedic conditions will be discussed. This is achieved by
close integration between theoretical and practical sessions.
Module aims:
General aims:
To prepare the students for clinical placement by providing them with the knowledge
about the different medical conditions affecting the lower limbs, which are commonly
managed by physiotherapists, and their evidence-based management approaches.
Specific aims:

Explain what are the pathological and traumatic conditions affecting the
lower limb joints of the body including: hip, knee and ankle joints.

Understand and discuss the different types of treatment approaches for
each fracture.

Analyze how to detect complications of fractures including local and
general ones.

Explain the cause/mechanism of injury of each lower limb pathology

Understand and discuss the different types of treatment approaches for
each condition.

Undertake full physical examination of lower limb joints related to
suspected medical conditions including history taking, observation,
assessment and planning treatment

Develop clinical reasoning skills

Explain how to plan and conduct an effective physical therapy program.

Be able to consider the especial precautions in each condition.

Performing the different management approaches effectively including
stretching, strengthening and mobilization exercises.

Integrate the theoretical and practical skills.
2

Attendance:
For lectures, all students are required to be in class and ready for lecture on time. All
students are expected to attend all classes. Beyond absence of 15% of the course
sessions, the student will not be allowed to sit for the final exam. Attendance of part
6
of the lab and leaving without permission from the instructor will be assigned as
missing the whole lab. Students should discuss any concerns regarding this matter
with the course instructor.
In-Class behaviour:
1. Students are required to actively contribute to class discussions as well as
volunteering to act as the “patient” in practical classes.
2. In all practical sessions, students are expected to dress properly and
decently.
3. Professional behavior is expected during classes. No side conversations. No
cell phones. No arriving late to classes. Students caught cheating or
attempting to cheat during exams will be assigned ZERO grade in that exam
and will be reported to the Dean.
4. No make-up exams will be given except in an emergency. Both the instructor
and the head of the department must be consulted PRIOR to a missed exam.
The make-up exam will be different from the one taken by the rest of the
class.
5. Academic honesty and integrity are crucial parts of the academic experience.
Honesty is expected with the class instructor and students. All work turned in
must be completed by the student. Plagiarism or cheating on tests or papers
is unaccepted. Failure to follow this policy could lead to an “F” in the course.
