Key contact: If you are experiencing difficulties meeting the requirements of your studies please contact the Lecturer in Charge of this unit or your Course Co-ordinator.

Unit rationale, description and aim: Occupational therapists require a sound understanding of human anatomy in order to assess and manage client needs. The knowledge and skills gained in this unit will form the basis to learn about occupational therapy assessment and intervention later in the course. Students will study, through practical and applied learning, the foundational anatomical and functional basis of the human body’s structure and function. This unit will develop students’ knowledge of human musculoskeletal structure and function relevant to understanding typical movement and form the foundation for analysis of occupational performance.

Page 6 of 15 OTHY102 Musculoskeletal Structure and Function for Occupational Therapy

Version: July 2021

Content has been reviewed and further developed to ensure the relevance to occupational therapy students and to ensure that knowledge is built on from week to week. Feedback from 2019 SELT’s has led to restructuring of the student lab book and the order of content delivery. In 2020 the students enjoyed the new format and felt it easier to follow. SELT surveys are usually conducted at the end of the teaching period. Your practical and constructive feedback is valuable to improve the quality of the unit. Please ensure you complete the SELT survey for the unit. You can also provide feedback at other times to the unit lecturers, course coordinators and/or through student representatives.

LEARNING AND TEACHING STRATEGY AND RATIONALE This unit involves 150 hours of learning with a combination of online lectures, face-to-face practicals and interactive online tutorials. Tutorials incorporate small group, collaborative learning with students engaging in activities utilising anatomy teaching tools. These activities are coupled with whole group theoretical discussions of the content around each of the main body regions studied. Students will be expected to take responsibility for their learning and to participate actively within group activities, demonstrating respect for the individual as an independent learner. The teaching and learning approaches employed in this unit helps students to develop lifelong learning and problem-solving skills that are beneficial for successful professional practice. LECTURE CAPTURE The lectures for this unit will be pre-recorded and made available to students, via LEO.

ASSESSMENT STRATEGY AND RATIONALE This unit aims to develop students foundational knowledge of the structures and processes relating to typical movements of the human body. Assessment 1 enables students to demonstrate their factual and conceptual understanding of foundational anatomical knowledge (LO1, LO2) and their ability to apply it to various functional activities (LO3). It also incorporates assessing their ability to communicate these concepts effectively in written communication. It allows students to gauge their own personal learning mid-way through the semester. Assessment 2 tasks students with locating and naming as well as effectively communicating their understanding of normal function through a face-to-face spot test. Students work independently to identify, and name pinned or presented structures (LO1, LO2) and then answer a range of general to applied questions related to those items (LO3). This assessment helps them build on their foundational knowledge and challenges them to apply their understanding. Assessment task 3 is an online exam comprised of multiple-choice questions and extended response questions. This final task allows students to demonstrate their understanding of both the foundational functional anatomy (LO1, LO2) and their ability to apply it to various functional activities (LO3), it also incorporates assessing their ability to communicate these concepts effectively in written communication.

ASSESSMENT The assessment tasks for this unit are designed for you to demonstrate your achievement of each learning outcome. In order to pass this unit, you must (a) meet the attendance requirements, and (b) attempt and submit all assessment tasks and (c) achieve a cumulative mark of 50% or more of the unit total. The total mark will be calculated from the three assessment tasks below. Students who obtain an overall grade of 45-49% may be eligible for supplementary assessments (please refer to https://policies.acu.edu.au/student_policies/assessment_policy_and_assessment_procedures/s upplementary_assessment for further information)

If your final grade is NF (i.e., between 45 and 49%), you may be eligible for a supplementary assessment to provide you with another opportunity to pass the unit. To be eligible for the supplementary assessment, you must have satisfied the attendance requirement of 80% of all practical classes, attempted all assessment tasks and cannot have failed any other unit in the semester. The supplementary assessment will be sat during the deferred examination period. You must score 50% or greater on this assessment to pass the unit. If you pass this assessment, your grade will convert from NF to PA and your final percentage will be recorded as 50%.
