Content
This unit provides an examination of neurological and neuromuscular conditions and their relation to exercise prescription and exercise rehabilitation. The functional anatomy of the neuromuscular system and the roles of neuromotor and sensorimotor elements in motor control are discussed. Pathophysiology in relation to neurological and neuromuscular conditions is addressed and the signs, symptoms, co-morbidities and treatments for a range of neurological and neuromuscular conditions are identified. Considerations for prescription of exercise to clients with neurological and neuromuscular conditions are also outlined.
| ULO | These are the Learning Outcomes (ULO) for this unit. At the completion of this unit, successful students can: | Deakin Graduate Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|
| ULO1 | Explain the neuromotor and sensorimotor contributions to movement and the pathophysiology and treatments for neurological and neuromuscular conditions. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
| ULO2 | Apply and interpret measures to determine functional, clinical and health status and determine appropriate exercise modalities for people with neurological and neuromuscular conditions. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
| ULO3 | Design, deliver and evaluate safe, evidence-based exercise prescription to optimise function, facilitate recovery, and maximise independence for people with neurological and neuromuscular conditions. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities GLO2: Communication GLO4: Critical thinking GLO5: Problem solving |
| ULO4 | Engage collaboratively with clients, care team and other professionals, to advocate for, refer, and report in health outcomes for people with neurological and neuromuscular conditions. | GLO2: Communication |
Assessment
Trimester 2:| Assessment description | Student output | Grading and weighting (% total mark for unit) | Indicative due week |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assessment 1: In-class test | 60 minute test | 25% |
|
| Assessment 2: Client treatment plan | 1000 word group assignment | 20% |
|
| Assessment 3: End-trimester test | 70 minute test | 30% |
|
| Assessment 4: Clinical examination (Hurdle requirement) | 20 minute practical clinical examination | 25% |

The assessment due weeks provided may change. The Unit Chair will clarify the exact assessment requirements, including the due date, at the start of the teaching period.
Hurdle requirement
- Must pass Assessment task 4 - Clinical examination
Learning Resource
The texts and reading list for the unit can be found on the University Library via the link below: HSE702 Note: Select the relevant trimester reading list. Please note that a future teaching period's reading list may not be available until a month prior to the start of that teaching period so you may wish to use the relevant trimester's prior year reading list as a guide only.
