MOH Physiotherapy Licensure Exam (Jordan) study guide
MOH Physiotherapy Licensure Exam (Jordan) · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The MOH Physiotherapy Licensure Exam is the entry-to-practice assessment used in Jordan to determine whether a physiotherapy graduate has the knowledge base expected of a practitioner licensed to work in the country. It is aimed at graduates of physiotherapy programmes, including those who trained abroad and need their qualification recognised, and at candidates preparing to register with the Ministry of Health. The MOH Physiotherapy Licensure Exam (Jordan) study guide has 9 sections and about 2,841 words.
01Anatomy, Physiology, and Biomechanics
This domain checks whether you can name a structure and then use it: predict the joint glide, the muscle length at which force fails, or the gait phase where a load appears. Expect mixed recall-plus-application items rather than simple labelling.
348 words, about 2 min02Pathology and Medical Sciences Relevant to Physiotherapy
Disease and tissue pathology that changes physiotherapy decisions: healing timelines, inflammatory versus infective versus malignant presentations, and comorbidity that alters exercise tolerance or contraindicates a modality. Soft tissue healing.
310 words, about 2 min03Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy
Pattern recognition and safe, evidence-based loading for common musculoskeletal presentations, plus post-operative precautions that cause real harm when broken. Examination sequence.
332 words, about 2 min04Neurological Physiotherapy
Localising the lesion (central versus peripheral), scoring impairment, and choosing task-specific, dose-appropriate training for stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and vestibular disorders. UMN: hyperreflexia, spasticity, Babinski sign present, no fasciculation, disuse atrophy.
311 words, about 2 min05Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy
Assessing breathlessness and chest signs, selecting airway clearance technique, measuring exercise capacity, and mobilising cardiac and respiratory patients safely. Crackles suggest secretions or fibrosis; wheeze suggests narrowed airways; absent sounds suggest poor air entry or pneumothorax; pleural rub suggests inflammation.
311 words, about 2 min06Pediatric and Geriatric Physiotherapy
Age-specific norms and adaptations: developmental milestones and paediatric conditions on one side, physiological ageing, falls and frailty on the other. Head control around 3 months, rolling 4–6 months, sitting 6–8 months, crawling 8–9 months, pulling to stand 9–10 months, walking 12–15 months, two-word phrases 18–24 months.
312 words, about 2 min07Physiotherapy Assessment, Evaluation, and Clinical Reasoning
Structured assessment, measurement accuracy, and reasoning that leads to a defensible working diagnosis and plan. Subjective, objective, assessment, plan; map findings to body function and structure, activity, and participation.
300 words, about 2 min08Therapeutic Modalities, Exercise Prescription, and Rehabilitation Technology
Parameter accuracy for electrophysical agents, safe indications, and exercise prescription that follows established dose principles. Conventional: 80–120 Hz, 50–150 µs, sensory-level analgesia.
308 words, about 2 min09Professional Ethics, Jurisprudence, and Patient Safety
Lawful, respectful and safe practice: consent, confidentiality, scope, documentation, and the systems that prevent harm. Valid consent needs capacity, adequate information (nature, risks, alternatives, consequences of refusal), and voluntariness.
