NHPC BPT study plan

Map every joint's normal ROM and end-feel, then state the goniometric landmark for each in writing.

Classify 30 common exercises by plane, muscle action (concentric/eccentric/isometric), and open- versus closed-chain status.

Draft a progressive resistance programme for a post-operative knee using the overload and SAID principles.

Explain the difference between active-assisted, active, and resisted exercise with one clinical example each.

Sequence a full rehabilitation phase plan (acute to return-to-function) for one tendon and one fracture case.

Match each electrotherapy modality (TENS, IFT, ultrasound, shortwave, laser) to its physiological rationale and contraindication list.

Calculate ultrasound dosage (W/cm², duty cycle, time) for three different treatment areas.

Justify why a chosen modality is adjunctive rather than primary in two scenarios.

Label the major muscles, nerve supply, and actions of the upper and lower limb from memory.

Trace the brachial and lumbosacral plexus to their terminal branches and name one clinical lesion per branch.

Apply lever and torque principles to calculate the moment arm of a load in two lifting tasks.

Describe the osteokinematics and arthrokinematics of the shoulder and hip through a full arc of motion.

Explain muscle fibre types, the length-tension relationship, and the force-velocity curve with a clinical implication for each.

Summarise the cardiorespiratory response to graded exercise (heart rate, stroke volume, ventilation, lactate threshold).

Derive gait-cycle terminology and identify the muscle activity in each sub-phase of stance and swing.

Relate proprioception and motor control theory to two balance-training progressions.

Perform and document a structured assessment (history, observation, palpation, special tests) for the shoulder, knee, and lumbar spine.

Select and interpret the sensitive/specific special tests for each of those three regions.

Differentiate inflammatory, degenerative, and mechanical joint pathology by clinical features.

Outline infection-control and wound-healing principles relevant to a physiotherapy outpatient setting.

Localise lesions along the neuraxis using motor, sensory, and reflex findings in five case vignettes.

Grade tone, reflexes, and sensation using standard scales and justify the grade given.

Design a task-specific, intensity-appropriate training plan for stroke, Parkinson's, and spinal cord injury.

Explain neuroplasticity principles and how they change the dosage of a repetitive-task programme.

Interpret a basic spirometry and ABG report and state the physiotherapy implication.

Design an airway-clearance and breathing-exercise plan for one obstructive and one restrictive condition.

Compare the mechanism, key adverse effects, and physiotherapy precautions for NSAIDs, corticosteroids, muscle relaxants, and anticoagulants.

Describe community-based rehabilitation delivery, home programme design, and one barrier to adherence.

State the core duties, consent requirements, confidentiality rules, and scope-of-practice boundaries relevant to physiotherapy practice.

Identify the ethical response to two boundary and referral scenarios.

Distinguish sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV and compute them from a 2×2 table.

Appraise one randomised trial using a levels-of-evidence framework and state whether it changes practice.
