Campus: Footscray Park.
Prerequisite(s): AHX5042 Musculo-Skeletal and Neurological Physiology for Rehabilitation;
or equivalent.
Content: This Study Unit
aims to provide students with knowledge and skill in the
application of physiological techniques and protocols used to
assess human movement and exercise performance with an emphasis on
people recovering from, or living with, injury or illness. The Study Unit revisits those techniques that students
have previously used in the assessment of exercise performance in
able-bodied people (including athletes) and then progresses to
modifications of those techniques for use in exercise
rehabilitation.
