Introduction:
Welcome to the Doctor of Physiotherapy Program. Phys@tomy is a self directed
learning package that has been developed to facilitate student revision and
preparation for entry into the Doctor of Physiotherapy Program at the University
of Melbourne.
The material outlined in this package will form the basis of the theoretical
background in Functional Anatomy that will be in part assumed knowledge and
will be built upon throughout the graduate program. The material will be
presented in a series of modules each of which will have detailed learning
objectives that are designed to direct and sequence the learning.
It is advised that the student complete each module one at a time prior to moving
onto the next. It is recommended that the student take approximately 4 hours to
complete each module.
Modules:
Module 1: Introductory Osteology and Arthrology
Module 2: The Shoulder, Upper Arm and Elbow
Module 3: The Forearm, Wrist and Hand
Module 4: Nerve and Blood Supply of the Upper Limb
Module 5: The Pelvis, Hip and Knee
Module 6: The Lower Leg and Foot
Module 7: The Nerve and Blood Supply to the Lower Limb
Module 8: The Head and Neck
Module 9: The Abdomen and Trunk
Module 10: The Heart and Lungs
Learning Objectives
Material in:
bold print: form the structures that require identification. An
anatomical atlas or model may be used for this purpose
regular print: form the independent learning questions to be answered
from the recommended texts and lectures provided
italic blue print: form the quiz questions that are aiming to extend
knowledge into application
bold orange print: form the surface anatomy objectives

be built upon throughout the graduate program. The material will be presented in
a series of modules each of which will have detailed learning objectives that are
designed to direct and sequence the learning.
Modules:
Module 9: The Trunk
Learning Objectives
Material in:
bold print: form the structures that require identification. An anatomical
atlas or model may be used for this purpose
italic blue print: form the quiz questions that are aiming to extend knowledge
into application
