Master of Physiotherapy in Orthopaedics
The Two-Year Master's Programme in orthopaedic/musculoskeletal physiotherapy helps the student gain knowledge about different musculoskeletal conditions such as knee osteoarthritis, lower back pain, and neck pain among others. It also deals with the treatment of sprains, strains, post-fracture, post-surgery and repetitive injuries. Orthopaedic physical therapy involves the care of the entire musculoskeletal system which includes:
- bones
- muscles
- ligaments and tendons
- joints
- connective tissue
A Physiotherapist who specializes in orthopaedics can evaluate, assess and diagnose the condition to frame the treatment protocol and manage the patient independently. This includes: determining the appropriate movement diagnosis, creating a treatment plan, administering therapeutic care, and educating the patient and family members about how to manage the current injury or condition while preventing further injury. Orthopaedic physical therapy is provided in outpatient clinics, outpatient and inpatient departments of various hospitals, primary health care centres, sports facilities, and health care facilities.
IMPORTANCE OF PURSUING MPT ORTHO
Orthopaedic physical therapy can be life-changing. After pursuing a master's programme, a skilled physical therapist, with the help of evidence-based treatment after surgery, can get a patient back to their daily activities after surgery, an injury, accident, or illness. An orthopaedic PT works to integrate all bodily systems — especially neurological and cardiovascular systems — with the musculoskeletal system to treat the injury or the condition appropriately.
During the course, students will be taught clinical reasoning, treatment, assessment and management of musculoskeletal conditions which can be integrated into Clinical Practice. Various opportunities are available in Academics and research as well.
PRACTICAL AND THEORETICAL FOUNDATION FOR POST-GRADUATE STUDENTS
Proposed Strategies include Patient Mobilization based on a Progressive sequence of activities, Functional Positioning and re-education; Passive, Active assisted and Active Mobilization; Manual therapy techniques like Mckenzie, Cryriax, MET. The course will also include practical demonstrations on various patients for orthopaedic assessment and designing efficient treatment protocols for improving their quality of life. Students are well trained during this two-year programme in adjunctive treatment techniques like kinesiotaping methods, dry needling techniques, cupping therapies and many more.
During this two-year course, emphasis is placed on advanced electrotherapy, exercise therapy and manual therapy techniques with the help of research and live practical demonstrations along with exposure to different patients. This all helps students advance their learning abilities and work efficiently in their professional lives.
