Outline

Overview

Neurological physiotherapy aims to develop in students an ability to apply relevant theoretical and data-based scientific findings to clinical practice in the area of disease and trauma to the nervous system. This unit examines the pathology, impairments (weakness, loss of coordination, loss of sensation and spasticity as well as adaptations such as contracture), activity limitations (difficulty standing up, sitting and standing, walking, reaching and manipulating objects with the hand, rolling over and getting out of bed) and participation restrictions arising from health conditions of acute onset (stroke, traumatic brain injury and Guillain-Barre Syndrome). Students will learn to assess, train and measure outcome of everyday activities integrated within the rehabilitation team.

Assessment criteria

The University awards common result grades, set out in the Coursework Policy 2014 (Schedule 1).

As a general guide, a high distinction indicates work of an exceptional standard, a distinction a very high standard, a credit a good standard, and a pass an acceptable standard.

Result name	Mark range	Description
High distinction	85 - 100	Awarded when you demonstrate the learning outcomes for the unit at an exceptional standard
Distinction	75 - 84	Awarded when you demonstrate the learning outcomes for the unit at a very high standard
Credit	65 - 74	Awarded when you demonstrate the learning outcomes for the unit at a good standard
Pass	50 - 64	Awarded when you demonstrate the learning outcomes for the unit at an acceptable standard
Fail	0 - 49	When you don’t meet the learning outcomes of the unit to a satisfactory standard.

For more information see sydney.edu.au/students/guide-to-grades.

For more information see guide to grades.

Late submission

In accordance with University policy, these penalties apply when written work is submitted after 11:59pm on the due date:

Deduction of 5% of the maximum mark for each calendar day after the due date.
After ten calendar days late, a mark of zero will be awarded.

Academic integrity

The Current Student website provides information on academic integrity and the resources available to all students. The University expects students and staff to act ethically and honestly and will treat all allegations of academic integrity breaches seriously.

We use similarity detection software to detect potential instances of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breach. If such matches indicate evidence of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breaches, your teacher is required to report your work for further investigation.

You may only use artificial intelligence and writing assistance tools in assessment tasks if you are permitted to by your unit coordinator, and if you do use them, you must also acknowledge this in your work, either in a footnote or an acknowledgement section.

Studiosity is permitted for postgraduate units unless otherwise indicated by the unit coordinator. The use of this service must be acknowledged in your submission.

Learning support

Simple extensions

If you encounter a problem submitting your work on time, you may be able to apply for an extension of five calendar days through a simple extension.  The application process will be different depending on the type of assessment and extensions cannot be granted for some assessment types like exams.

Special consideration

If exceptional circumstances mean you can’t complete an assessment, you need consideration for a longer period of time, or if you have essential commitments which impact your performance in an assessment, you may be eligible for special consideration or special arrangements.

Special consideration applications will not be affected by a simple extension application.

Using AI responsibly

Co-created with students, AI in Education includes lots of helpful examples of how students use generative AI tools to support their learning. It explains how generative AI works, the different tools available and how to use them responsibly and productively.

Attendance and class requirements

Attendance: Students are expected to attend a minimum of 90% of tutorials for a unit of study, unless granted exemption by the Dean, Head of School, or Professor most concerned. The Dean, Head of School, or Professor most concerned may determine that a student fails a unit of study because of inadequate tutorial attendance. Alternatively, at their discretion, they may set additional assessment items where attendance is lower than 90%. Students are expected to attend all lectures in this unit of study. Lecture recordings will be made available where possible to assist with revision and study but should not be considered a substitute for physically attending the lecture.

Study commitment

Typically, there is a minimum expectation of 1.5-2 hours of student effort per week per credit point for units of study offered over a full semester. For a 6 credit point unit, this equates to roughly 120-150 hours of student effort in total.

Required readings

All readings for this unit can be accessed on the Library eReserve link available in the Canvas site for this unit.

Responding to student feedback

This section outlines changes made to this unit following staff and student reviews.

Dear students Thank you for your feedback on Neurological Physiotherapy 1 (PHTY5195). Overall your feedback was very positive about the Unit of Study especially in relation to the assessment tasks challenging you to learn, and developing relevant critical and analytical thinking skills. You scored the unit lowest on your ability to work effectively with digital and online tools and information. In addition, your comments indicated you found (i) the practical components of the unit including watching and demonstrating the eskills to be useful to put the theory into practice, (ii) the unit to be well structured and organised with a supportive teaching team, (iii) weekly practice quizzes useful for revision, and (iv) you really enjoyed the guest lecturers who shared their experiences of living with brain injury. Areas that you felt could be improved included (i) adding further practice quizzes for identifying adaptive strategies and missing important components, (ii) updating video resources, (iii) increasing clinical reasoning aspects earlier in the semester, (iv) more time for skills practice during tutorials and (v) reducing the amount of research studies in lecture material. From your feedback we will continue working on developing more consolidation tasks including quizzes to support student learning and we are planning to add in an online assessment task to help develop student confidence with using digital online resources in practice. In addition, our teaching team will continue to maximise interaction and opportunity for skills practice in tutorials and review the distribution and quantity of eskills for the practical exams to maximise your learning while ensuring that all key material is covered. The use of research studies in lectures is critical to develop your skills as evidence-based practitioners and your ability to interpret research is an important skill for you to have as therapists. However, we will continue to review the number of studies presented in lectures and ensuring clinical implications are clearly articulated. Kind regards Neurology teaching team
