This module is not approved as an Elective
The module will provide students with practical application of advanced anatomy knowledge for those structures commonly stressed during physical activity, how to assess injury, and appropriate treatment strategies. Practical experience will be provided by attending an SEM clinic as part of SPSC5134M. Recommended eLearning resources will be identified (including online musculoskeletal texts and recorded lectures), and tasks set according to the structure under study. Students will be expected to complete a series of practical competencies, and formative workbooks for each anatomical region under study. Assessment will take the form of individual case study presentations, summative online MCQs and individual OSCE stations. Students will be expected to complete two modules from the free online FIFA football medicine diploma.
The objectives are for students to:
- recognise common musculoskeletal pathologies
- recognise common sporting injuries
- take a history, assess and recognise management strategies for common musculoskeletal injuries
On completion of this module students should be able to:
1) Critically assess the origin of common musculoskeletal pathologies and sporting injuries with relation to the following anatomy:
- Head injuries and concussion
- Shoulder
- Arm and elbow
- Hand and wrist
- Spine
- Hip
- Knee
- Ankle and foot
2) Appraise and apply this knowledge to develop an understanding of the aetiology of common sporting injuries, not exclusive to but including:
- Swimming
- Rugby
- Basketball
- Football
- Dance
- Tennis
- Boxing/MMA
- Athletics and endurance
- Mass participation events
3) Take a patient history and interpret and present findings;
4) Critically assess and evaluate management strategies for common musculoskeletal injuries.
There are opportunities to develop transferable professional skills. These include:
- Problem solving
- Time management
- Communication
- Critical thinking
The module will cover the following:
- consolidate advanced anatomy knowledge on muscles, bones, nerves, blood supply;
- apply this experience to aid recognition of specific injuries and their appropriate treatment.

Clinical tutors will be available during the practical sessions to answer any questions the students may have, and monitor progress (e.g. assess clinical competence in assessments and diagnoses).
Students will have the opportunity to self-assess progress by means of formative MCQ and workbooks at strategic points in the module, based on suggested reading material and on-line resources available.

Each assessment is a compulsory pass element of the module. Failure to submit an item will result in a V code being appended to the final module mark; non-weighted assessments are Pass or Fail. Owing to the practical nature of assessments, a resit of the OSCE will not be available in September but can be taken at the next available opportunity that the OSCE assessment operates in the following session (normally January of the following year).
| Exam type | Exam duration | % of formal assessment |
