MOH Physiotherapy Licensure Exam (Jordan) study plan

MOH Physiotherapy Licensure Exam (Jordan) · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Anatomy, Physiology, and Biomechanics & Physiotherapy Assessment, Evaluation, and Clinical Reasoning

  • Map every major muscle group to its origin, insertion, innervation, and primary action from memory, then self-correct against an anatomy atlas

  • Trace the brachial and lumbosacral plexuses and predict the motor and sensory deficit produced by a lesion at each named point

  • Demonstrate and verbally justify goniometric measurement of six upper-limb and six lower-limb joint ranges on a partner or model

  • Explain arthrokinematics of convex-on-concave versus concave-on-convex motion and apply it to two shoulder and two knee techniques

  • Build a one-page history-taking template that captures red flags, irritability, and functional limitation for a musculoskeletal case

Your checkpoint

A 40-term anatomy and surface-marking flashcard deck plus a completed goniometry practice log covering 12 joint measurements with values and technique notes

Week 2

Anatomy, Physiology, and Biomechanics & Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy

  • Describe the gait cycle phase by phase and identify the muscle activity and joint moments at each of the eight sub-phases

  • Analyze three common compensatory gait deviations and state the probable impairment driving each

  • Perform and document five special orthopaedic tests for the shoulder and knee, including sensitivity and specificity figures where known

  • Explain tissue healing phases and translate each phase into appropriate loading parameters for a tendon and a ligament injury

  • Interpret a standard set of postural observations and link two findings to likely muscle length and strength imbalances

Your checkpoint

A gait analysis worksheet with three written case vignettes, each naming the deviation, the suspected cause, and the confirmatory test

Week 3

Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy & Pathology and Medical Sciences Relevant to Physiotherapy

  • Outline assessment and staged rehabilitation for rotator cuff related shoulder pain, lateral elbow tendinopathy, and Achilles tendinopathy

  • Differentiate the clinical presentation and physiotherapy implications of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis

  • Explain the pathophysiology and physiotherapy precautions for two fracture types and for total hip and total knee arthroplasty

  • Select outcome measures appropriate to shoulder, knee, and low back conditions and justify each choice by construct and responsiveness

  • Construct a progressive resistance programme for a post-operative orthopaedic patient using load, volume, and tempo variables

Your checkpoint

Three complete musculoskeletal case reports of 400-600 words each, covering assessment findings, clinical reasoning, diagnosis, intervention plan, and re-assessment criteria

Week 4

Neurological Physiotherapy & Pathology and Medical Sciences Relevant to Physiotherapy

  • Localize lesions along the neuraxis by matching motor, sensory, and reflex findings to the level of injury

  • Describe the vascular, cellular, and functional consequences of ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke and relate them to recovery prognosis

  • Explain the pathophysiology and exercise precautions in multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Guillain-Barre syndrome

  • Design a task-specific gait and balance training progression for a patient with hemiparesis using accepted motor learning principles

  • Justify the use of at least four standardized neurological outcome measures by their measurement properties

Your checkpoint

A neurological lesion-localization decision table plus a written 6-week gait and balance progression for one hemiparetic case

Week 5

Neurological Physiotherapy & Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy

  • Plan a full physiotherapy programme for a patient with incomplete spinal cord injury, addressing mobility, transfers, pressure relief, and respiratory risk

  • Interpret arterial blood gases and basic spirometry values and state the physiotherapy implication of each abnormality

  • Explain airway clearance techniques and match each to the secretion problem it addresses

  • Design and progress an exercise programme for a patient with chronic heart failure using functional capacity and symptom monitoring

  • List and apply safety limits for mobilizing a patient with cardiac or respiratory compromise, including Borg scale and oxygen saturation thresholds

Your checkpoint

Two written case plans, one neurological and one cardiopulmonary, each with a session-by-session progression and explicit safety stop criteria

Week 6

Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy & Pediatric and Geriatric Physiotherapy

  • Describe developmental milestones for gross motor, fine motor, and postural control from birth to five years and identify the age at which each should appear

  • Select and justify assessment tools for a child with cerebral palsy and for an infant with delayed motor milestones

  • Explain physiotherapy management of common paediatric conditions such as torticollis, developmental dysplasia of the hip, and obstetric brachial plexus injury

  • Apply fall risk screening, frailty assessment, and sarcopenia identification to an older adult and translate findings into a training plan

  • Adapt exercise prescription for older adults with multimorbidity, including dosing, supervision, and progression criteria

Your checkpoint

A paediatric milestone reference chart plus a geriatric falls-prevention programme for one older adult case, with screening scores and progression rules

Week 7

Therapeutic Modalities, Exercise Prescription, and Rehabilitation Technology & Physiotherapy Assessment, Evaluation, and Clinical Reasoning

  • Match electrotherapy modalities to indication, contraindication, and dosage parameters, and state the evidence strength for each

  • Write exercise prescriptions using FITT-VP principles for aerobic, resistance, flexibility, and balance training in three different patient profiles

  • Justify the selection of two assistive devices or orthoses for named functional deficits and describe fitting and training considerations

  • Apply a structured clinical reasoning model to an unfamiliar case and document hypothesis generation, testing, and revision

  • Interpret referral information and decide whether to treat, refer onward, or co-manage, with written rationale

Your checkpoint

A modality selection and dosage quick-reference table plus one full clinical reasoning write-up in SOAP format for a complex case

Week 8

Professional Ethics, Jurisprudence, and Patient Safety & Physiotherapy Assessment, Evaluation, and Clinical Reasoning

  • Apply informed consent, confidentiality, documentation, and scope-of-practice requirements to four written ethical scenarios

  • Identify the professional obligations and reporting duties that apply to patient safety incidents and impaired colleagues

  • Complete two full timed mock examinations under exam conditions and record a score per domain

  • Analyze every missed mock question by cause, classifying errors as knowledge, reasoning, or reading

  • Build a final-week revision list limited to the three weakest domains and schedule review sessions for each

Your checkpoint
