• Understanding of the structure and function of bones, muscles, joints, nerves, and organs relevant to physiotherapy practice.

2. Biomechanics and Kinesiology:

• Examination of biomechanical principles governing human movement, posture, and gait.
• Application of kinesiological concepts to the analysis of movement patterns and functional activities.

3. Therapeutic Modalities and Techniques:

• Introduction to therapeutic modalities used in physiotherapy practice, such as electrotherapy, thermotherapy, cryotherapy, and hydrotherapy.
• Training in manual therapy techniques, including massage, mobilization, manipulation, and soft tissue techniques.

4. Rehabilitation Exercises and Programs:

• Development of rehabilitation exercise programs tailored to individual patient needs and treatment goals.
• Instruction in prescribing and supervising therapeutic exercises for improving range of motion, strength, flexibility, and functional mobility.

5. Clinical Practice and Patient Care:

• Clinical placements in physiotherapy settings, including hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers, and community health facilities.
• Hands-on experience in patient assessment, treatment implementation, and monitoring under the supervision of qualified physiotherapists.

Course Format:

• Duration: 2.5 years (4 semesters)
• Delivery: Combination of lectures, practical sessions, demonstrations, clinical placements, and internships.
• Assessment: Evaluation through exams, practical assessments, assignments, clinical evaluations, and case studies.
