The subject addresses applied movement analysis with respect to tissue loading and
musculoskeletal/neurological pathology; the pathophysiological basis of musculoskeletal,
neurological/neuromuscular and mental health conditions, cancers and chronic pain;
and the assessment, diagnostic, medical and exercise-based interventions associated
with the treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal, neurological/neuromuscular and
mental health conditions and cancers. The subject examines the safety aspects of exercise
for musculoskeletal, neurological/neuromuscular and mental health conditions and cancers
with emphasis on exercise capacity limitations; knowledge of, identification of and
management of exercise contraindications and adverse signs and symptoms; medication
effects on exercise, and client communication. The subject also encompasses the knowledge
and practical application of designing, interpreting and facilitating assessments
and clinical exercise interventions for musculoskeletal, neurological/neuromuscular
and mental health conditions and cancers as well as for falls prevention and gait
analysis. This subject also covers policies and practice associated with workers compensation,
veterans affairs and medicine compensation schemes.
Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrated ability to assess limitations; recognize adverse reactions; and prescribe
and facilitate exercise associated with musculoskeletal, neurological/neuromuscular
and mental health conditions and cancers;
- Demonstrated knowledge of applied movement analysis with respect to tissue loading
and musculoskeletal/neurological pathology; the pathophysiological basis; identification
and diagnosis, treatment and functional limitations and safety considerations associated
with musculoskeletal, neurological/neuromuscular and mental health conditions and
cancers and falls prevention and gait analysis and interventions;
- Demonstrated ability to use and interpret results collected from movement analysis,
range of movement testing, functional testing and strength testing.
