The goal of Neurological Physiotherapy is to broaden and deepen your theoretical and practical knowledge.
You will undertake advanced physiotherapy practicums related to balance, mobility and gait disorders associated with acquired brain injuries (ABI), upper limb management of aged and neurological disorders, and vestibular rehabilitation for older adults and those with specific vestibular impairments from peripheral and CNS dysfunction. The programme concludes with a clinical research project related to rehabilitation of people with ABI that is designed to impact on patient care.
Discipline-specific workshops, workplace practicums and clinical research will foster advanced knowledge, skills and applications for the optimal management of people ageing with a disability and those with neurological disorders/ABI.
You can tailor your studies
The programme structure is flexible. You can choose from several pathway options, which gives you the opportunity to tailor your studies so you can achieve your career aspirations.
Depending on your career pathway, there are two pathways you can choose:
- upper limb rehabilitation for aged and neurological fields
- vestibular rehabilitation for aged and neurological fields
Combine your clinical experience with new theory
Each module offers you the opportunity to work theoretically on the basis of your personal, professional and clinical experiences. This is true regardless of whether you have worked with clinical specialties, management, education or development.
The programme allows you to tailor your education from the point of view of your practice. Each student will find different modules that reflect their own practice.
