About Department

The Physiotherapy program offers a comprehensive curriculum combining both theoretical and practical training to understand the mechanisms and causes of human movement. The core concept of the program emphasizes that movement is the result of complex interactions between multiple systems at various levels—sensory, motor, perceptual, cognitive—along with the task to be performed and the environment. Physiotherapy plays a key role in restoring movement and function following injury, illness, or disability. Treatment involves exercises aimed at strengthening muscles, enhancing flexibility, and improving the overall range of motion throughout the body.

Course Objectives

  • To develop the skills needed to address impairments that affect body structures and functions, resulting in activity limitations and participation restrictions.
  • To learn to remediate impairments, enhance mobility, promote functional recovery, and improve quality of life.
  • To gain a strong understanding of electrotherapy procedures used in physiotherapy practice.
  • To learn how to effectively apply these techniques in the treatment of various conditions.
  • To conduct thorough clinical assessments to identify impairments and design appropriate therapeutic interventions.
  • To set individualized therapeutic objectives, develop tailored strategies, and recommend procedural interventions based on the patient's potential for recovery.
  • To learn the practical use of electrotherapy and exercise therapy to address specific disease conditions.
  • To understand the biomechanics of normal and pathological gaits, along with the appropriate use of walking aids.
  • To foster transparent communication with patients and clients to ensure effective treatment outcomes.
  • To develop a positive, respectful, and honest attitude towards colleagues and other professional partners.
  • To adhere to the code of ethics and regulations governing the practice of physiotherapy.
  • To maintain professional integrity and commitment to high standards of care throughout clinical practice.

About Physiotherapy

  • Focus: The science of movement and physical function, aimed at promoting mobility, restoring physical strength, and preventing physical impairments or disabilities.

  • Branches: Encompasses assessment, diagnosis, planning, and execution of rehabilitative therapies using exercises, manual techniques, electrotherapy, and education.

  • Importance: Essential for recovery from injuries, surgeries, neurological disorders, and chronic conditions, helping patients improve quality of life and functional independence.

  • Research: Focuses on biomechanics, pain management, motor control, rehabilitation protocols, and evidence-based physical therapy practices.

  • Teaching: Provides students with knowledge of human movement sciences, therapeutic exercise principles, patient care strategies, and clinical skills through both theory and practice.
