This unit is quite different to what you cover in first year, and developing good clinical reasoning skills is critical if you want to do well in the unit. The content gets a bit dry and can get complex, it's pretty medical and there's lots of new terms to learn, but overall it's not too bad. Wasn't my favourite unit as I found it poorly organised at times (and cuts to the budget resulted in less tutor contact time), but overall it's not the worst. It can be hard to stay engaged if it's not an area of physio that you want to go into, so it's important to make sure you stay disciplined during the semester.

Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy: Adults and Paediatrics - Main & Denehy (2016)

Anatomy textbook as per first year physio is Moore's Clinically Oriented Anatomy, physiology textbook is the same as first year also (Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach).

I also recommend investing in the Physiotherapist's Pocketbook (Kenyon & Kenyon), it's a really handy book to have to refer to in CBL and such because you'll encounter a lot of unfamiliar terms and things that you want to check on. It also nicely summarises some of the principles and essentials of cardiorespiratory physiotherapy
