Course objectiveTo teach the basic anatomical principles of tissue in soft tissue injuries which frequently encountered in orthopedic rehabilitation, to introduce the mechanism of injury, to develop the ability to learn and discuss the evaluation methods and various physiotherapy and rehabilitation approaches used specifically for pathology and surgery, to develop the ability of most appropriate physical therapy rehabilitation planning and practicing, to follow the current literature and to analyze them. 
Learning outcomes
  1. If the students completed this course: They will will interpret the soft tissue anatomy, physiology and soft tissue injuries.
  2. They will understand the treatment principles of soft tissue injuries,
  3. They will evaluate the patients using appropriate assessment methods,
  4. They will gain the ability to plan the most appropriate physiotherapy and rehabilitation program, to select and apply the most effective method, to identify and to prevent possible complications.
Course ContentSoft tissue anatomical and physiological principles, appropriate assessment and physiotherapy applications in soft tissue lesions with relevant theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as current studies in the literature, research planning and new approaches in rehabilitation will be outlined.
