You are aware of the effects of aging and the pathophysiology of most common diseases on the musculoskeletal system throughout the life span. You learn the scientific basis and applications of key therapeutic exercises modalities and exercise physiology of specific therapeutic exercise. You will develop skills to implement and adapt exercise programs for different clinical and non-clinical populations. You learn to critically use different methods and measures to assess function and physical activity. You are able to critically evaluate and implement the results of therapeutic research within current health strategies and policies. You will gain an understanding of the role technology has in health promotion now and in the future.

Pathophysiology of common diseases present throughout the life span

The effects aging on the neuromuscular system

Different exercise modalities available, their scientific basis and optimal prescription.
