Syllabus
The further development of foundation competencies in understanding human anatomy and pathology will be
covered with topics that include trunk, upper limb, pelvis, foot and ankle anatomy and associated dysfunction. The
specific pathologies covered include neoplasia, metabolic syndrome and selected arthridities. An introduction to
human nervous system anatomy and selected pathologies is also provided.

Introduction
Welcome to Anatomy and Pathology.
As the unit name implies selected areas of anatomy structure and function and dysfunction will be expanded on,
while Pathology is literally the study (logos) of suffering (pathos).
The pathologies selected are those that physiotherapists routinely encounter and treat within the public and
private sectors of health care.
This unit is designed to give the student an understanding of who, how and why certain individuals or populations
are susceptable to certain pathologies. Understanding the relationships between basic cellular level changes and
processes, that create changes to structure and function, their clinical presentation and complications, is essential
in formulating an effective physiotherapy intervention. A good understanding of the pathology behind disease
conditions allows us to work out the reason (clinical reasoning) for the presenting signs and symptoms and is the
basis for planning effective treatment interventions.
For example, fracture healing will involve cells of the coagulation cascade, inflammatory process, bone cells and
their products, knowing the stages of the processes and the possible factors that interfere with the normal course
of these processes, enables the physiotherapist to contribute to the rehabilitation, by introducing weight bearing
activities at the appropriate time.
To understand the processes, clinical signs and symptoms and complications of the selected pathologies within
this unit, it is vital that students have a consolidated and thorough understanding of the inflammatory process.
Various Health agencies have identified key chronic diseases areas, Asthma, Cancer, Vascular disease (Heart,
Stroke), Diabetes, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, and Osteoporosis. Selected pathologies within these 5
health priorities will be discussed within this unit, while others are discussed in other units within the course.
Anatomy and Pathology also serves as an introduction to neuroanatomy and pathology studied in semester 2 of
second year.
Anatomy and Pathology is an essential pre-requisite to a number of units in the next semester of the course. This
is a significant unit in which failure twice may lead to termination of the course.
Anatomy and Pathology is conducted during first semester only, hence students who fail, will not be able to repeat
the unit in the same year.

Attendance at Classes
Attendance at all lectures is recommended (indeed, highly recommended). It is also highly recommended that you
attend all practical, laboratory and tutorial classes to ensure you develop skills and attain feedback while in class.
An attendance record will be taken at each laboratory / tutorial class in this unit. Students must attend their
allocated class time. Students attending classes should ensure that they arrive on time and maintain an attentive
disposition, as extraneous noise is discourteous to other students and the lecturer. Students should arrive prior to
the designated commencement time for practical classes or they will risk being excluded from the class.
Students who are unable to attend classes should, as a professional courtesy inform the Unit Coordinator via
email prior to their scheduled class (J.owens@curtin.edu.au) outlining the reasons for their non-attendance. If a
prolonged absence is experienced due to ill health, students should contact their unit coordinator providing
supporting medical certifactes or documentation. If a prolonged absence is anticipated students should arrange a
meeting with their unit coordinators and Year/Course Coordinator.

Practical Class Participatory/Dress Requirements
This unit requires full participation in all laboratory classes. Remember that you will be attending anatomy
laboratory practical sessions and therefore you will require your white coat, closed in shoes and recommended
safety glasses.
Failure to wear suitable clothing may mean exclusion from class. Please plan appropriately!
Students are required to wear their name badge to all laboratory classes. For safety and hygiene reasons


Science

fingernails should be short and clean, long hair tied back and wristwatches and jewellery
(watches/bracelets/rings/brooches/necklaces/facial piercings) are not to be worn when treating clients.
Failure to wear suitable clothing may mean exclusion from class. Please plan appropriately!

Personal Hygiene and Infection Control
Please ensure that you use the hand washing facilities provided both at the beginning and completion of patient
based practical classes and especially at the completion of laboratory sessions.

Mobile Phones
Mobile phones must be switched off prior to entry to lecture, laboratory and tutorial sessions. They may not be
taken into examination venues.

School of Physiotherapy and Exercise Science: Expectations of Professionalism
The School of Physiotherapy and Exercise Science has an expectation of students that they will display a high level
of professionalism in all timetabled activities during semester and the examination period. This includes (but is not
limited to) lectures, practical sessions, laboratory sessions, tutorials, clinical visits and formal assessments.
Students are expected to behave in a manner, which allows all students to gain the maximum benefit from the
learning experience (as per the university student charter). Expected behaviours include:
l Behaviours consistent with Professionalism and that are conducive to an enhanced learning experience are:
l Completing all expected preparatory work (i.e. readings, practice questions etc.)
l Ensuring that appropriate clothing and nametag is worn and any required equipment is brought to the
session
l Arriving on time for formal teaching sessions
l Contacting the unit coordinator in order to notify them of the reasons for any absences from practical
sessions
l Switching off mobile phones, ipads and laptop computers during formal teaching sessions unless
specifically instructed to use these by staff
l Ensuring that full attention is focussed on tutors or lecturers during presentations
l Ensuring that you move to a position where you can see demonstrations in practical sessions or
laboratories
l Taking care of all equipment (including plinths)
l Communicating with staff and peers in a respectful manner
l Ensuring that email contact with staff includes full name, student ID, year level and contains correct
grammar (i.e. no use of sms communication style)
Students who fail to display professional behaviour on a consistent basis may be asked to leave formal tuition
activities such as lectures or practical sessions. Repeated incidents of unprofessional behaviour may result in a
formal report of General Misconduct and referral to School of Physiotherapy or Faculty Disciplinary panels.
Unit Learning Outcomes

All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of six Graduate Capabilities during their course of study. These
inform an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills
and capabilities which employers would value in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the
Graduate Capabilities through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process
referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes notify you of what you are expected to know,
understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully
designed to test your knowledge of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of
the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.
Your course has been designed so that on graduating you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Capabilities


Science

through the assurance of learning processes in each unit.

Graduate Capabilities
On successful completion of this unit students can:
addressed
1 Examine the structures and functions of selected anatomical structures and systems
2 Apply and interpret the implication of the pathological process involved in selected
structures and systems
3 Predict the clinical implications of pathological processes that occur in selected
tissues and systems
4 Contrast local versus systemic implications/complications occurring as a result of
individual (or combined) pathological process
Curtin's Graduate Capabilities
Apply discipline
Innovative, creative and Effective communicators
knowledge, principles
entrepreneurial with digital competency
and concepts
Culturally competent to engage

Globally engaged and Industry connected and
respectfully with local First Peoples
responsive career capable
and other diverse cultures
Find out more about Curtin's Graduate Capabilities at the Curtin Learning and Teaching website: clt.curtin.edu.au
Learning Activities
The teaching methods used in this unit are lectures, tutorials, laboratory classes, independent study, and
collaborative learning.
There are three hours of lectures and one hour of tutorial and one hour of laboratory/practical based learning
conducted per week.
The tutorials will address main learning objectives of the topics presented in the unit. Pre-reading and preparation
is essential for tutorial classes, with the expectation of active contribution and participation. These sessions are
your chance to discuss the pathology content of the previous week(s) lecture and allow you to ensure you
understand the pathology fully. This will be a good chance in a relatively small group to clear up any issues you
may have with understanding the unit content. These sessions will direct your learning to facilitate success in the
final examination.
The laboratory classes will involve anatomical and pathological identification, and give you the opportunity to see
the theory that has been discussed. The laboratory sessions will be directly related to the week’s lecture and may
contain previous weeks material.
Make sure you use these sessions well, as your first “for marks” anatomy assessment will take place in Week 7 of
the semester.

Learning Resources
Other resources
Materials needed for this unit in addition to this unit outline include the PATH2002 Anatomy and Pathology Guide.

Academic Integrity (including plagiarism and cheating)

Any conduct by a student that is dishonest or unfair in connection with any academic work is considered to be
academic misconduct. Plagiarism and cheating are serious offences that will be investigated and may result in
penalties such as reduced or zero grades, annulled units or even termination from the course. Assessments under
investigation will not be given a mark until the matter is concluded. This may result in the unit grade being
withheld or a grade of Fail Incomplete (F-IN) until a decision has been made by the Student Disciplinary Panel. This
may impact on enrolment in further units/study periods.
Plagiarism occurs when work or property of another person is presented as one's own, without appropriate
acknowledgement or referencing. Submitting work which has been produced by someone else (e.g. allowing or
contracting another person to do the work for which you claim authorship) is also plagiarism. Submitted work is
subjected to a plagiarism detection process, which may include the use of text matching systems or interviews with
students to determine authorship.
Cheating includes (but is not limited to) asking or paying someone to complete an assessment task for you or any
use of unauthorised materials or assistance during an examination or test.
From Semester 1, 2016, all incoming coursework students are required to complete Curtin’s Academic Integrity
Program (AIP). If a student does not pass the program by the end of their first study period of enrolment at
Curtin, their marks will be withheld until they pass. More information about the AIP can be found at:
https://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/students/AIP.cfm
Refer to the Academic Integrity tab in Blackboard or academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au for more information,
including student guidelines for avoiding plagiarism.
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Expectations

Curtin students are expected to have reliable internet access in order to connect to OASIS email and learning
systems such as Blackboard and Library Services.
You may also require a computer or mobile device for preparing and submitting your work.

Additional information
General Information for Undergraduate Physiotherapy Students
The 2018 Student Progression and Assessment Manual now calls supplementary examinations ‘Further
Assessments’. Further Assessments will only be granted under exceptional circumstances and with the approval of
the Faculty Pro Vice-Chancellor on a case by case basis. Where an exception is awarded, this will be notified in
writing to the Academic Registrar within seven working days, providing reasons for why the exception was
requested and approved.
All students enrolled in an undergraduate degree will under exceptional circumstances and on a case by case
basis be allowed only two Further Assessments throughout their course In addition, these Further Assessments can
only occur in the first year of your course or in the last semester of your course.
o In order to comply with the 2018 Student Progression and Assessment Manual, the School of Physiotherapy
and Exercise Science will no longer be offering Further Assessments for students enrolled in second year, third
year or the first semester of fourth year of an undergraduate course as of Semester 1, 2018.
Although students are allowed up to two Further Assessments across the course, if these were granted in the first
year of the course, the consequence of failure in the final semester exam (the PCR) would mean the student would
need to repeat the whole clinical unit in which the PCR sits. This would therefore result in delay to course
completion.
The School’s Board of Examiners is mindful of the fact that a student who has not met minimal competency in all
Unit Learning Outcomes may require an opportunity to demonstrate such competence via a ‘competency audit’. A
competency audit is a process by which the Board of Examiners is able to check that a student has met all Unit
Learning Outcomes. In such a situation, this competency audit will be offered on a strictly limited basis during the
School’s deferred examination period. If the student wishes to accept this opportunity, this will be the only time
that this opportunity will be offered.
Please note that competency audits do not apply to clinical placements – a student that has not met minimal
competency in a clinical placement will be required to repeat the clinical placement/unit in a subsequent study
period.

General Information for Postgraduate Physiotherapy Students (including Graduate

Entry Master of Physiotherapy Students)
The 2018 Student Progression and Assessment Manual now calls supplementary examinations ‘Further
