Students examine more closely the most common types of paediatric conditions, which the
Physiotherapist will be called upon to manage during their day to day work. They focus on the developmental
milestones of the child and a range of assessment and treatment techniques that are needed for Physiotherapists to
manage children with orthopaedic and/or neurological conditions. More general issues associated with the treatment
of children are addressed, like the need for creativity and play in both assessment and treatment. In addition to this,
the unit also demonstrates the Physiotherapy assessment and management in obstetrics and gynecological conditions
for relief of pain, relaxation, conditioning and posture. Teaching includes lectures, tutorials, patient demonstrations
and practice of techniques. Assessment is through written and practical tests and exams.
