PST 413:Physiotherapy Clinical Rotations in Orthopaedic and Traumatology (2 Units C: PH 90) Learning Outcomes At the end of this course, the students are expected to: 1. demonstrate skills in taking history; carry out physical examination and other relevant assessment procedures on patients with orthopaedic conditions and trauma; 2. demonstrate skills in clinical reasoning and in making clinical judgments in different orthopaedic and traumatic conditions.; 3. demonstrate skills in communicating treatment goals and plans with patients with orthopaedic conditions and trauma; 4. demonstrate skills in managing and evaluating patients with orthopaedic conditions commonly seen in physiotherapy; and 5. apply knowledge, theory, and professional judgment while managing patients with orthopaedic conditions. Course Contents Students will be exposed to history taking, physical examination and specific assessment procedures and clinical judgments, treatment and evaluation of patients in orthopaedic condition and trauma. fractures, dislocations, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, back pain, neck pain, spinal stenosis, soft tissue injuries and many others. Students will also be taught the appropriate ways of communicating treatment goals and plans to patients with orthopaedic conditions and following trauma and in chronic and acute soft tissue injuries (muscular, tendinous and ligamentous injuries, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, fasciitis and many others). injuries resulting from fracture of the spine, general principles of physiotherapy in management of fracture and dislocation and in urns, skin protection and repair techniques.

This course examines the history and institutional origins and development of the museum institution, the gallery, and their global and local perspectives. The structure and organogram of the museum institution and their interrelationships. The course also situates vital aspects of the museum institution such as collections and acquisitions, conservation and documentation, mechanics of display and space rhetoric, and reporting on the object of culture. Visits to museums and exhibitions, an integral part of this course, will enable students to acquire relevant knowledge that will inform their critique of museums’ roles, functions, and management in general. A mandatory review of at least one exhibition is an integral aspect of the course.
