<p>Quiz (5%) with video component (5%) to film exercise demonstrations to simulation clients.</p>

This subject addresses the pathophysiological basis of chronic musculoskeletal injury, pain, and functional impairment in ageing. This subject comprises a combination of online learning and compulsory on-campus (residential) activities. In this subject students will attain advanced knowledge and skills in facilitating and interpreting functional assessments and clinical exercise interventions for chronic musculoskeletal injury, pain, and functional impairment in ageing. Students will also explore environmental and clinical factors influencing safety when facilitating assessment and exercise interventions, including the identification and management of exercise contraindications and adverse signs and symptoms, as well as risk factor stratification and the effects of medications on exercise. This subject also covers practices involved in return to work, including legislative and policy requirements within workers compensation, work-related assessment, and return to work.
