2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Successful completion of previous courses in the DPT curriculum This course will examine specific pathological conditions common to the practice of physical therapy. Underlying physiological alterations and the physical consequences of such alterations will be reviewed. Treatment rational, in terms of medical management and physical therapy management, will also be discussed. Conditions covered in this course will cross the lifespan from infancy to advanced age. And, although not the focus of this course, differential diagnosis will be an important topic. (A laboratory fee of $25 will be assessed.)

4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Successful completion of previous courses in the DPT curriculum. This course is an in-depth study in the recognition, examination, and intervention of disorders and injuries of the musculoskeletal system through the life span, with emphasis on the upper and lower extremities. A problem solving approach is followed with application of the disablement model and evidence-based practice in the management of impairments of the extremities and inclusion of the following elements of patient/client management: examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, and intervention. Lab sessions focus on specialized examination and intervention skills, including the performance of joint-specific special tests, joint mobilization techniques, orthotics, and impairment-specific therapeutic exercises.(A laboratory fee of $25 assessed.)

2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Successful completion of previous courses in the DPT curriculum This course will present current knowledge related to the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of common drugs related to the physical therapy patient management. The course will examine the factors that influence drug absorption, distribution, and elimination. Emphasis will be placed upon the determinants of how a specific dose of a drug will eventually reach target tissues and exert a response. Additionally, the course will explore influence of exercise, application of physical agents, and massage on normal pharmacokinetics.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Enrollment into the Masters in Health -(Track: Orthopedic Physical Therapy) Program This course is an advanced study into the clinical and professional expectations of a resident and expert clinician. The role of medical and diagnostic screening in the care and management of patients with neuromusculoskeletal disorders will be the emphasis of this course
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Enrollment into the Masters in Health -(Track: Orthopedic Physical Therapy) Program This course is an advanced study into the roles of a physical therapist as a clinician, a professional, a manager, a researcher, and an educator. Study of clinical skills will focus on models of clinical reasoning including evidence-based practice. Principles of professionalism and management will be applied in and professional environments. The role of clinical inquiry will be explored with application of principles of patient care. Educational theory will be studied with application to various teaching-learning settings.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Successful completion of previous courses in the DPT curriculum This course presents an introduction to principles of clinical inquiry, specifically related to the development of clinically related questions and the process of answering the developed questions. Students are encouraged to compose questions in the context of contemporary health care and physical therapy. Topics covered include critical thinking, the process of reviewing scientific literature, an introduction to information searching, discussion of reliability and validity and the processes of scientific documentation. An introduction to research designs, research methods, and basic data analysis will be explored as well as an overview of experimental and non-experimental research designs. Critique of the scientific literature with application of the literature in evidence-based practice will be an element of all future clinical management courses.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Successful completion of previous courses in the DPT curriculum This course is the second in a three part series regarding the principles of clinical inquiry. The objective of the series is to prepare the graduate to critically analyze and use the scientific literature to improve clinical practice, relative to clinical research, education, and/or administration. In this unit, students will work with specific faculty to implement the proposed project developed in unit one of the series. Topics covered include: problem solving, research design, advanced research methods and data analysis. Specifically, quantitative, qualitative and survey outcomes and advanced clinical research design methods will be explored. Students will review all aspects of data handling to include development of data logs, data entry, statistical analysis and interpretation of the analysis.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Successful completion of previous courses in the DPT curriculum Students apply anatomy, physiology, epidemiology and pathology in exploring the issues of medical, surgical, pharmacological, and psychological and physical therapy management of individuals throughout the lifespan with Integumentary system impairments. Students will develop examination skills and derive diagnoses; prognoses, evaluations and effective physical therapy interventions based on relevant evidence.(A laboratory fee of $25 will be assessed.)
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite:Successful completion of previous courses in the DPT curriculum This course is designed to prepare students for clinical education experiences. Policies and procedures are described. Students develop an understanding of the roles of the Academic Coordinator of Clinical Education (ACCE), the Center Coordinator for Clinical Education (CCCE), the Clinical Instructor (CI), and their own roles in the clinical education process. Students develop an understanding of various clinical education models and learn how they will be evaluated using the Clinical Performance Instrument (CPI). Students learn to write educational objectives for clinical education experiences and to prepare in-services to meet the needs of their clinical supervisors.
