Program Specific Outcome-BPTh
I B.P.Th.
• The course deals with the knowledge and application of basic foundation in
biological Science of Anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry, and physiotherapy core
subjects of Kinesiology and movement science and physiotherapy.
• Students’ knowledge of Physics i.e. – Mechanics, Electricity, Water, Sound & Light is
recalled to apply to the human body in understanding movements and the various
physiotherapeutic modalities under the subject of Electrotherapy & Kinesiotherapy.
II B.P.Th.
• The course deals with an understanding of altered physiology by studying pathology
& Microbiology. The students get oriented to various Pharmacotherapeutic agents,
their mechanism of action, and their relevance to physiotherapy along with their
effects by studying Pharmacology.
• The students will acquire knowledge about normal and altered human minds &
behaviour by studying Psychology & Psychiatry. They will also learn the skills
required for effective communication with patients and caregivers.
• Students will acquire the knowledge of Biomechanics as applicable to the human
body in the context of Kinetics & kinematics of Joints, Movements & daily activities
under the subject of Kinesiology and movement science and shall acquire knowledge
and learn various physiotherapeutic skills on models in the subject of
Kinesiotherapy.
• In the subject of Electrotherapeutics, students will acquire knowledge and learn the
application & uses of various electrotherapeutic modalities on models.
III B.P.Th.
• The course deals with knowledge of the disease, its pharmacological and surgical
management, and the application of movement dysfunction in relevance to the
clinical subjects of Orthopaedics, General Surgery, Medicine, Neurology, Paediatrics,
Dermatology & Gynecology & Obstetrics, Community Medicine and Sociology.
• Students will acquire knowledge about the principles of the International
Classification of Functioning (I.C.F.) and its applicability in the context of movement
dysfunctions.
• Students will learn physiotherapeutic evaluation skills including electrodiagnosis of
patients to arrive at a Physical Therapy Diagnosis in Neuromuscular, Cardiovascular
& Respiratory dysfunction. They will also acquire knowledge of various specialised
manual therapy and neurodevelopmental techniques and cardiorespiratory practice
skills on models under the subject of Physiotherapeutic skills.
• Knowledge about basics of kinesiotherapy and electrotherapy in Physiotherapy
practice for dysfunctions pertaining to acute, sub-acute, or chronic (overuse) aspects
related to Musculoskeletal, Neurological, Cardiac, vascular, respiratory, sports,
obstetrics and gynaecology, occupational origins or as a consequence of
physiological functioning, including ageing and pregnancy will be integrated.
IV B.P.Th.
• The course deals with the complete integration of biological, and clinical science
along with physiotherapy core subjects. Students will revise, recall and integrate the
knowledge of previous years to evaluate, functionally diagnose, plan and execute
short and long-term management of various musculoskeletal, neurological &
cardiovascular- respiratory dysfunctions in hospital and community settings.
• Students also acquire knowledge pertaining to health promotion & disease
prevention throughout their lifespan in the community. They will also be able to
analyse, prevent and treat problems associated with various industries in community
physiotherapy.
• Students will also rationalise biomechanical principles & application of a variety of
aids & appliances used for ambulation, protection & prevention by studying
Bioengineering.
INTERNSHIP
• A period of 6 months (26 weeks) of continuous clinical practice to enhance the
clinical reasoning, judgement, programme planning, intervention, evaluation of the
intervention, follow up and referral skills of all the dysfunctions and impairments
learned throughout the curriculum of four years. Those candidates declared to have
passed the final year examination in all subjects shall be eligible for the internship
which is to be carried out in the parent university.
• The internship shall be done in a teaching hospital recognized by the University. A
degree certificate shall be awarded ONLY on successful completion of six months of
internship.
• The Internship will be rotatory for 6 weeks each in areas of musculoskeletal,
neurosciences, cardiovascular and respiratory (including critical care), and
community. It shall cover clinical branches concerned with Physiotherapy such as
Orthopaedics, Cardiovascular & Respiratory including ICU, Neurology &
Neurosurgery Paediatrics, General Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics, and Gynecology
both inpatient and outpatient services.
• The institute can decide on an elective posting for a period of 2 weeks. The list of
available elective postings will be decided by the institute and shall have mentors in
each area with a maximum of 10 students and a minimum of 2 students per area.
The institute will declare available electives prior to the university
• The students either individually or in a group will complete a short project which can
be but is not limited to either a narrative review, documentation of cases in a series,
or retrospective analysis
• Successful Completion: The student must maintain a logbook. On completion of each
posting, the same will have to be certified by the faculty in charge of the posting for
both attendance as well as work done. On completion of all the postings, the duly
completed logbook will be submitted to the Principal/Head of the program to be
considered as having successfully completed the internship program.
COMPEL MODULE
COMPEL MODULE Integration of soft skills, attitudes, ethics, professionalism, and research
is essential for a practising physiotherapist. Hence the curriculum would address these
competencies through the module COMPEL I-IV. These would include Course Modules in
gaining competencies in Communication Skills, Professional Practice & Ethics, Research
methodology, critical appraisal, Evidence-based practice, Leadership, Management,
administration, and inter- professional collaboration, and lifelong learning and Reflection
throughout the continuum from First year to Fourth year and internship.
