KPE322H1: Psychology of Injury and Rehabilitation

Psychosocial aspects of physical injury are often overlooked. They are important considerations for understanding the experience of injury and also for enhancing rehabilitation. This course focuses on theory, research, and practical applications related to psychological and psychosocial variables of injury and rehabilitation of athletes and dancers. Prevention, management, performance, and ethical issues relevant to sport/performance psychology, rehabilitation psychology as well as sport/dance science and medicine across a broad spectrum of health care professions are addressed. Empirical work and case studies are used to explore methods and strategies for research, assessment, intervention and best practice across injuries, populations, genres and professions. Students take an active role in the learning process with case-based studies, application of case examples to theoretical frameworks and student engagement activities.
