EXSS5104: Exercise and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation I
2024 unit information
The unit focuses on the development of knowledge and skills relating to the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions encountered in Accredited Exercise Physiology practice. This includes the strategic application of the principles of exercise prescription to target specific prevention and rehabilitation goals. The unit explores the scope of practice for Exercise Physiologists in rehabilitation settings, rehabilitation tools of the AEP and their physiological basis, and principles and objectives of exercise rehabilitation programs. The unit explores the pathophysiological basis of exercise limitations across a range of lower body musculoskeletal conditions including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and joint replacement.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. Demonstrate an understanding of roles and scope of practice for Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEP) within multidisciplinary teams located within the Australian health framework with specific reference to musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
- LO2. Integrate advanced knowledge and understanding of human structure, function, behaviour, and the pathophysiological bases for a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions with specialist technical skills relating to musculoskeletal assessment to inform exercise management plans with an evidence-based practice approach.
- LO3. Demonstrate professional conduct and practice in case management and clinical reporting of musculoskeletal conditions within the scope of practice of the profession and healthcare system framework, including the ability to work autonomously using ethical, culturally sensitive and professional behaviour.
- LO4. Design, deliver and revise client-centred exercise plans that consider scientific evidence, client goals, medical history, clinical status and other influencing factors for a broad range of conditions across the Accredited Exercise Physiology (AEP) musculoskeletal pathology domain using behaviour change strategies, interpretation of information, critical analysis, synthesis of evidence, reflection and inventiveness.
- LO5. Demonstrate an ability to compose, deliver and revise safe and effective exercise management plans that consider medications, surgical, medical and allied health interventions, safety risks and contraindications to achieve improved clinical and functional capacity for individual musculoskeletal, rehabilitation and pre-employment clients.
