MUSCULOSKELETAL INJURY AND REHABILITATION - 2022/3
Module code: BMS2079
Module Overview
The Musculoskeletal (MSK) injury and rehabilitation module will explore the common injuries found in sporting environments and look at how and why they occur. Learning about the physiological response of the body during each stage of injury and what an effective assessment consists of, will underpin select treatment and rehabilitation techniques. Students will be given an opportunity to experience applying specific treatment techniques to further secure their learning.

Assessment pattern
| Assessment type | Unit of assessment | Weighting |
|---|---|---|
| Examination Online | MCQ Exam | 50 |
| Oral exam or presentation | Case Study | 50 |
Alternative Assessment
For the MCQ exam an alternative exam will be set. For the presentation the students will be able to present their work at a later date.
Assessment Strategy
The assessment strategy is designed to provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate:
An understanding of the underlying principles and mechanisms of injury and how they may be assessed using clinical reasoning and hands-on examination methods.
Their ability to present a clear outline of specific injury aetiology, assessment and treatment modalities as well as display an understanding of an interdisciplinary approach to rehabilitation based on specific case studies provided.
Thus, the summative assessment for this module consists of:
50% - 1 summative MCQ test focussing on injury and clinical assessment
50% - 1 group presentation looking to provide an overview of the entire injury and rehabilitation process of a given injury case study.
Formative assessment and feedback:
Summary feedback on exam performance for all questions in the exam.
Formative assessment provided through revision/review tutorials spread over the module.
Module aims
- Demonstrate an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of sports injury professionals.
- Identify common sports injuries and typical mechanisms of injury.
- Build links between principles of healing and treatment methods
- Build a baseline of practical skills in common injury assessment and management techniques.
- Demonstrate the ability to apply key theoretical and practical rehabilitation constructs to a wide variety of injury scenarios.

Methods of Teaching / Learning
The hybrid learning and teaching strategy adopts a blend of online and face-to-face support to facilitate students¿ learning. Activities (within tutorials/seminars, practicals and directed study) are staged (pre & post-delivery of online captured content) and scaffolded to support the development of student skills and understanding, and provide opportunity for formative feedback (e.g. feedback from learning activities; peer feedback; opportunities for self-assessment, etc). Student participation is encouraged with regular opportunity for interaction with peers and academics at regular face-to face-tutorials, seminars and/or practicals.
Indicated Lecture Hours (which may also include seminars, tutorials, workshops and other contact time) are approximate and may include in-class tests where one or more of these are an assessment on the module. In-class tests are scheduled/organised separately to taught content and will be published on to student personal timetables, where they apply to taken modules, as soon as they are finalised by central administration. This will usually be after the initial publication of the teaching timetable for the relevant semester.
