It will encourage a client-based problem-solving approach and provide a physiotherapeutic basis on which the student can effectively assess and treat such clients.
The impact of biological, social and psychological factors on physical health will be explored. Societal perceptions of the role and value of these client groups within the wider community will be investigated and debated. The effect appropriate holistic physiotherapy management can have on independence and maximising participation in society will be considered. The students will be encouraged to reflect on the influence the distinct nature of these client groups may have on therapy provision and the importance of providing family or client-centred intervention within a variety of multi-agency settings.
