Neurological Physiotherapy Level 1 - Part B

Neurological Physiotherapy Level 1 is ideal for recent graduates, physiotherapists moving into this practice area or experienced physiotherapists wishing to undertake refresher CPD.

Part B is the second component of the Neurological Physiotherapy Level 1 course and consists of six modules. It covers the tasks of bed mobility, sitting, sit to stand, standing, walking and arm function. For each of these activities, video case studies are used to guide discussions of movement analysis and relevant outcome measures and evidence-based intervention, practical sessions will be used to enforce the principles of effective set-up of training for these tasks.

Two ways to complete the course: blended with face-to-face or wholly virtual

Learners have two ways of undertaking Neurological Physiotherapy Level 1:

• Blended: online self-paced (Part A) and attending a face-to-face classroom course (Parts B & C)
  or
• Wholly virtual: online self-paced (Part A & Part B - this component) and live virtual classroom (Part C)
  

Important note: if you have completed or wish to undertake the face-to-face classroom course, you are not required to complete the Part B OnDemand modules or the Part C live virtual classroom.

Wholly virtual pre-requisites and progress: Part A must be successfully completed before you progress to Part B. Part B must be successfully completed before you progress to Part C. If you register for Part C, joining details for the live virtual session will become available once Part B is complete.

• Apply a structured approach to the identification of impairments contributing to activity limitations in sitting balance, sit to stand, standing balance, walking and arm function
• Outline evidence-based interventions to address activity limitation/s in sitting balance, sit to stand, standing balance, walking and arm function
• Outline the structure of relevant muscle strengthening and task and context practice of sitting balance, sit to stand, standing balance, walking and arm function
