WK	Topic	Learning activity
Week 04	Cardiopulmonary acute care physiotherapy interventions in intensive care: strategies to improve gas and secretion movement impairments	Tutorial (2 hr)
Week 06	1. Cardiopulmonary acute care: case studies; 2. Cardiopulmonary acute care Intervention: clinical reasoning and implementation of appropriate interventions specific to acute cardiopulmonary case studies	Tutorial (2 hr)
Week 08	Impairment and activity: assessment of degenerative conditions which require adaptation over time (PD, MS, and MND)	Tutorial (2 hr)
Week 09	Impairment and activity: reducing bradykinesia, freezing, tremor, and dyskinesia, training turning in bed, and walking in middle stage PD	Tutorial (2 hr)
Week 10	Impairment and activity: overcoming and adapting to cerebellar ataxia	Tutorial (2 hr)
Week 12	Activity and participation: maintaining mobility in late neurodegenerative conditions (aids, equipment and services)	Tutorial (2 hr)

Learning outcomes are what students know, understand and are able to do on completion of a unit of study. They are aligned with the University's graduate qualities and are assessed as part of the curriculum.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:

LO1. assess, interpret, and analyse signs and symptoms of a patient in the acute care environment
LO2. make informed decisions based on evaluation of effectiveness, safety, precautions, and contraindications of current practices for the patient in the acute care environment
LO3. identify components of the acute care environment, equipment, and its structure
LO4. develop and demonstrate basic physiotherapy skills for the acute care environment (such as suctioning, manual hyperinflation, and insertion of nasopharyngeal/guedel airway)
LO5. apply the knowledge and skills learnt in cardiopulmonary physiotherapy to the specific areas of acute pulmonary care
LO6. outline the physiotherapy management of acute neurological and neurosurgical conditions including the prevention of secondary musculoskeletal and cardiopulmonary complications, and the contraindications and precautions that need to be followed prior to mobilisation
LO7. identify the motor and non-motor impairments arising from neurodegenerative conditions and their impact on physical activity
LO8. demonstrate methods of assessment of motor impairments and activity limitations
LO9. analyse the contribution of primary and secondary, motor and non-motor impairments to activity limitations and participation restrictions
LO10. demonstrate methods of reducing specific motor impairments (or adapting to these impairments) and training motor performance to reduce activity limitations
LO11. prescribe aids for reducing activity limitations
LO12. outline the rationale for physiotherapy interventions designed to maximise activity and minimise secondary disability, and identify the evidence-base for these interventions
LO13. devise and evaluate physiotherapy intervention programs for people with neurodegenerative conditions that meet the patient’s goals, taking into account personal factors, motor and non-motor impairments, activity limitations, participation restrictions, environmental context, and contributions of the interprofessional health team
LO14. discuss the role of patient self-management strategies and describe the implementation of such strategies
LO15. describe the use of technology-based interventions.

Graduate qualities

The graduate qualities are the qualities and skills that all University of Sydney graduates must demonstrate on successful completion of an award course. As a future Sydney graduate, the set of qualities have been designed to equip you for the contemporary world.

GQ1	Depth of disciplinary expertise Deep disciplinary expertise is the ability to integrate and rigorously apply knowledge, understanding and skills of a recognised discipline defined by scholarly activity, as well as familiarity with evolving practice of the discipline.
GQ2	Critical thinking and problem solving Critical thinking and problem solving are the questioning of ideas, evidence and assumptions in order to propose and evaluate hypotheses or alternative arguments before formulating a conclusion or a solution to an identified problem.
GQ3	Oral and written communication Effective communication, in both oral and written form, is the clear exchange of meaning in a manner that is appropriate to audience and context.
GQ4	Information and digital literacy Information and digital literacy is the ability to locate, interpret, evaluate, manage, adapt, integrate, create and convey information using appropriate resources, tools and strategies.
GQ5	Inventiveness Generating novel ideas and solutions.
GQ6	Cultural competence Cultural Competence is the ability to actively, ethically, respectfully, and successfully engage across and between cultures. In the Australian context, this includes and celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, knowledge systems, and a mature understanding of contemporary issues.
GQ7	Interdisciplinary effectiveness Interdisciplinary effectiveness is the integration and synthesis of multiple viewpoints and practices, working effectively across disciplinary boundaries.
GQ8	Integrated professional, ethical, and personal identity An integrated professional, ethical and personal identity is understanding the interaction between one’s personal and professional selves in an ethical context.
GQ9	Influence Engaging others in a process, idea or vision.
