Module summary
This module develops your ability to research, plan, provide and justify an appropriate rehabilitation programme for the late and pre-discharge stages of sports injuries.
The aims of this module are aligned with the qualification descriptors within the Quality Assurance Agency’s, Framework for Higher Education Qualifications. More specifically, it aims to provide you with academic knowledge and understanding to plan a safe and effective rehabilitation programme suitable for the remodelling stage of injury healing, and to return the athlete to full functional fitness.
You will expand critical analysis skills in an oral context and develop confidence of application in a rehabilitation setting. You will gain the underpinning knowledge and practical ability to screen for injuries, interpret the findings and implement a pre-habilitation programme to help reduce the risk of injury. You will be able to plan, implement and deliver rehabilitation and remedial programmes suitable for the late and pre-discharge stages of any common sports injury, with the aim of returning the athlete to full functional fitness.
You will also develop competence in discussion and oral presentation encouraging clarity of presentation and scientific rigour, transferable tools often used in many employment settings and which will facilitate your progression to higher level modules.

Balance of independent study and scheduled teaching activity
The learning and teaching strategy will incorporate a blended learning approach including taught lectures, small/large group work, role playing, online quizzes, practical application, videos, text books and journal articles. Interactive tools will be used to enhance student learning, engagement and understanding, whilst also providing formative feedback.
The module will consist of theory-based lectures incorporating the physiological elements that underpin healing and rehabilitation progression; and practical sessions where the students can apply the knowledge gained, and practice the development and implementation of safe and effective rehabilitation programmes.
The students will be participating in oral peer review exercises and will have the opportunity to reflect on these situations so as to enhance personal development. There will also be the opportunity to reflect in groups and as individuals on practical scenarios and go on to implement planned improvements.
Students’ study responsibilities are articulated in the SHS Staff/Student Agreement which is available via the school website.
Learning outcomes
LO 1: Evaluate current research of key areas of rehabilitation approaches to common sports injuries
LO 2: Screen, plan, prepare and deliver appropriate treatment and rehabilitation programmes for the late through to the functional phase of any sporting injury, including chronic, overuse injures
LO 3: Identify, justify and differentiate treatment and rehabilitation modalities for late through to functional stages of injury healing, including chronic, overuse injures including prehabilitation considerations
LO 4: Plan, prepare and demonstrate a pre-discharge assessment for any injury across the sporting spectrum
Assessment strategy
The practical assessment (LO 1, 2, 3, 4) will be an examiner chosen, seen scenario that the student will use to plan and implement a late/pre-discharge rehabilitation programme for an individual. There will be a viva where the student will justify their rehabilitation choices. The assessment will run for 35 minutes.
Students must obtain at least 40% to pass this module. Satisfactory attendance (80%) must be achieved for progression from this module to be awarded.
Formative feedback will be provided on a weekly basis during the practical classes whereby the lecturer will critique the plans and implementation of practice rehabilitation programmes. Feedback will also be given during viva preparation sessions and informal class quizzes.
Summative feedback will be in the form of written feedback on the mark sheets that will be made available to the students. It will also be possible for them to arrange for verbal feedback.
