Syllabus: | Basic physiotherapy competencies including - passive movement, massage, goniometry, muscle testing, patient handling and use of walking aids. Development of an understanding of the control of movement, motor learning principles and therapeutic interventions to facilitate normal movement and principles of biomechanics also contribute to further appreciation of normal and abnormal movement. |
