Overview

This module is designed to enhance clinicians’ knowledge and skill base in meeting the needs of well elderly and those with chronic conditions affecting their motor performance. Topics include theories of motor control, understanding disability and movement disorders from the perspectives of motor control theories, and motor learning and relearning strategies for a variety of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal conditions, particularly developing balance retraining strategies and control. The impact of declining motor skill on cognitive function and independence will be addressed.

The module will be delivered using blended learning pedagogy and flexible scheduling for adult learners. The learning activities and assessment strategies will reflect workplace demands, upskill module participants and enhance service delivery. Keynote lectures, a symposium, community engagement and tutorials will support students’ on-line learning and personal study.
