Mangaluru, Karnataka: Clinical training is a fundamental part of physiotherapy education, providing students with opportunities to apply academic knowledge in real healthcare environments. For physiotherapist and clinical researcher Farseen Mohammed P, postgraduate clinical training at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital, Mangaluru, formed an important part of his development in neuroscience physiotherapy and neurorehabilitation.
His clinical experience during postgraduate education complemented his academic specialization, research activities and continuing professional development.
Postgraduate Clinical Training
Farseen completed his Master of Physiotherapy in Neurosciences at Yenepoya Physiotherapy College, Yenepoya (Deemed to be University), Mangaluru.
As part of his postgraduate education, he underwent clinical training at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital, Mangaluru, from 2024 to 2026.
The training provided exposure to a range of clinical conditions and rehabilitation settings, with a particular focus on neurological physiotherapy.
Exposure to Neurological Conditions
During his clinical training, Farseen gained exposure to patients with several neurological conditions, including:
- Stroke
- Parkinson’s disease
- Traumatic brain injury
- Guillain–Barré syndrome
- Spinal cord disorders
Working across different neurological conditions can provide physiotherapy trainees with opportunities to understand varying patterns of movement impairment, functional limitations and rehabilitation requirements.
This clinical exposure supported Farseen’s specialization in neurophysiotherapy and neurorehabilitation.
Neurorehabilitation Approaches
His postgraduate clinical training included exposure to rehabilitation approaches such as Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT), the Motor Relearning Programme and task-oriented training.
These approaches are associated with rehabilitation aimed at improving functional movement and participation according to individual patient needs.
Farseen’s continuing professional education has also included additional training related to NDT and motor relearning in stroke rehabilitation.
Stroke Rehabilitation
Stroke rehabilitation became one of the central areas of Farseen’s clinical and research interests.
His postgraduate dissertation examined:
“Effect of Eccentric Versus Concentric Strengthening on Functional Mobility in Subacute Stroke Patients: A Randomized Parallel-Group Comparative Study.”
The research connected his clinical interest in stroke rehabilitation with structured academic investigation.
His later research activities have included a systematic review examining the effectiveness of eccentric strengthening interventions on functional outcomes in adults after stroke.
Parkinson’s Disease Rehabilitation
Parkinson’s disease was another important area of clinical and research interest during Farseen’s postgraduate development.
His research portfolio includes a scoping review titled “Timing of Dopaminergic Medication Relative to Physiotherapy Delivery in Adults with Parkinson’s Disease: A Scoping Review.”
The research was published in 2026 in the International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology, with Farseen serving as second author and corresponding author.
His clinical exposure to neurological rehabilitation therefore complemented his growing academic interest in Parkinson’s disease.
Experience With Other Neurological Conditions
Farseen’s clinical training was not limited to stroke and Parkinson’s disease.
He also gained exposure to rehabilitation involving traumatic brain injury, Guillain–Barré syndrome and spinal cord disorders.
Such exposure can provide a broader understanding of neurological physiotherapy and the different functional challenges associated with disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord and nervous system.
Musculoskeletal and Orthopaedic Training
Although neuroscience physiotherapy became his postgraduate specialization, Farseen’s clinical training also included musculoskeletal and orthopaedic rehabilitation.
His postgraduate experience included exposure to post-surgical rehabilitation, manual therapy and therapeutic exercise.
This broader clinical experience provided an opportunity to understand rehabilitation across different clinical areas.
Integrative Physiotherapy Exposure
Farseen’s postgraduate clinical education also included exposure to integrative physiotherapy through training at Yenepoya Ayurveda Medical College & Hospital, Naringana, Karnataka.
This formed another component of his wider clinical education during postgraduate study.
The experience contributed to exposure to different healthcare settings and approaches to rehabilitation.
Connecting Clinical Experience With Research
One notable feature of Farseen’s postgraduate development is the connection between clinical training and research.
His clinical experience in neurological rehabilitation provided exposure to conditions that subsequently became important areas of his research interest.
Stroke rehabilitation, Parkinson’s disease rehabilitation and therapeutic exercise appear across different components of his academic and professional profile.
His research activities include systematic reviews, scoping reviews and clinical intervention research.
Research Methodology Development
Alongside clinical training, Farseen has continued to strengthen his research-methodology skills.
From 27 to 31 August 2026, he participated in a five-day hands-on international-level workshop on Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis conducted by IIRA, Mumbai.
He has also completed training related to Good Clinical Practice and health science research and publication.
These activities complement his clinical education by strengthening his research-oriented professional development.
Scientific Presentations
Farseen’s clinical and academic experiences have also led to scientific presentations.
At Mangalore PhysioCon 2026, he presented his postgraduate research on eccentric versus concentric strengthening and functional mobility in subacute stroke patients.
He also participated as an Organizing Member of the Scientific Committee at the conference.
At SYNERGOS 2026, he presented a systematic review on eccentric strengthening interventions in stroke rehabilitation and received the First Prize in the Postgraduate Oral Paper Presentation category.
Learning Across Multiple Clinical Environments
Farseen’s clinical education began before his postgraduate specialization.
During his undergraduate training and internship from 2022 to 2024, he gained clinical exposure across several institutions, including Co-operative Hospital Thalassery, Aster MIMS Kottakkal, Meitra Hospital Calicut, Bangalore Baptist Hospital Hebbal, Tirurangadi Taluk Hospital and Baby Memorial Hospital Calicut.
This earlier clinical exposure provided a foundation for his subsequent postgraduate specialization.
Building a Clinical Foundation
Clinical training is an important bridge between theoretical education and professional physiotherapy practice.
For Farseen, postgraduate training at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital provided focused exposure to neuroscience physiotherapy while allowing him to develop interests in functional recovery, therapeutic exercise and clinical research.
The experience formed an important part of his development as a specialist physiotherapist in neurosciences.
Looking Ahead
Farseen Mohammed P’s clinical training at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital represents an important component of his professional journey.
His exposure to neurological rehabilitation, combined with experience in musculoskeletal, orthopaedic and integrative physiotherapy, has contributed to a broad clinical foundation.
Together with postgraduate education, research activities, scientific presentations and continuing professional development, this clinical experience supports his continuing career development in neurophysiotherapy, neurorehabilitation and clinical research.
