Aims and Characteristics
Programme Aims
To equip students with advanced knowledge and professional skills in physiotherapy or a chosen area of clinical specialism within physiotherapy, to enable them to meet changing needs in physiotherapy practice and contribute to the development of specialised practices.
To equip students with the lifelong ability to critically analyse and evaluate ongoing practice to enhance the quality of physiotherapy practice.
To foster students' knowledge and skills in physiotherapy or areas of clinical specialism relevant to the discipline, to improve professional competence in advanced physiotherapy practice.
Characteristics
To enhance the integration of people with injuries, dysfunctions and/or disabilities into mainstream society, rehabilitation practice should be extended from hospitals and rehabilitation centres to the clients’ homes and workplaces. Our MScAdPT equips physiotherapists with advanced knowledge and skills, with a strong theoretical and scientific foundation of evidence-based practice that is responsive to both personal and environmental factors encompassing primary to tertiary healthcare. Besides the Generic advanced physiotherapy stream, the programme offers a unique range of clinical specialisations in the practice of Neurology, Musculoskeletal and Sports, and Manual and Neuromusculoskeletal Physiotherapy. The specialism in Neurology Physiotherapy focuses on critical reviewing and integration of evidence-based practice to enhance clinical outcomes and practice, whilst specialisms in Musculoskeletal and Sports Physiotherapy, and Manual and Neuromusculoskeletal Physiotherapy focus on the integration of advanced professional knowledge and practice through clinical reasoning and practice.
Please note that this programme does not confer eligibility for registration with the Physiotherapists Board of Hong Kong.
