  • 3.00 Credits

    Prerequisite: Successful completion of Semester I courses. The knowledge and skills necessary for examination of patients leading to physical therapy diagnoses, prognoses and evaluation will be presented and practiced. Theory and techniques for measurement of physical therapy and physiological entities will include: obtaining medical history, palpation technique, draping, screening for dysfunction in human systems (integumentary, cardiopulmonary, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, and cognitive); vital signs tests, reflex assessment manual muscle tests, musle length tests, range of motion, and postural assessment. Students will learn to discuss and document their examination findings. Reliability and validity of the measurements will be explored, with emphasis placed on precision of measurement, elimination of errors in testing, and accuracy of documentation. Activities will include a range of experiences, progressing from normal to pathological conditions, across the spectra of age, sex, culture, and race. 4.000 Credit Hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Semester Schedule Types: Lecture/Supervised Lab/Clinic Allied Health Sciences College Physical Therapy Department

    This course completes examination and application of basic patient skills, such as universal precautions, bed mobility, wheelchair mobility, transfer training, and gait training. The course also provides an in-depth exploration of the components of the acquisition of teaching/learning as it applies to patient interaction in physical therapy. A variety of educational/instructional methods are introduced, allowing for exploration of optimal teaching approaches in the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains. Modifications to learning/teaching strategies are discussed within the context of age, race, gender, culture, and socioeconomic status. Emphasis will be placed on the selection of educational methods that enhance retention and compliance of learning. 4.000 Credit Hours 2.000 Lecture hours 4.000 Lab hours Levels: Graduate Semester Schedule Types: Lecture/Supervised Lab/Clinic Allied Health Sciences College Physical Therapy Department

    This course will explore the scientific basis for selecting and implementing a plan of care using therapeutic agents, including; relaxation training & soft tissue mobilization, compression therapy, thermal agents, and electrotherapeutic modalities. Indications for use of therapeutic modalities, proper administration, and documentation of effectiveness will be emphasized. Students will learn to discuss and document their selection of an appropriate therapeutic agent/s in relation to sound knowledge of underlying physiological processes (pain, inflammation, edema, motor control, etc.) and pertinent methods of physical therapy measurement such as obtaining medical history, palpation screening for dysfunction in human systems (integumentary, cardiopulmonary, musculoskeletal, and neuromuscular). Evidence-based practice will fostered through careful critique of the literature in therapeutic agents. Lab activities will include a range of experiences, processing from normal to pathological conditions, across the spectra of age, sex, and race. 4.000 Credit Hours 4.000 Lecture hours 6.000 Lab hours Levels: Graduate Semester Schedule Types: Lecture/Supervised Lab/Clinic Allied Health Sciences College Physical Therapy Department

    This course will cover biomechanical principles for the design and function of lower and upper extremity orthotics and prosthetics. Specific emphasis will be placed on normal and pathologic gait analysis with orthotic and prosthetic devices. Students will learn to relate limitations of orthotic/prosthetic devices to physical therapy management (functional training). Case study exploration will additionally provide the basis for comprehensive physical therapy management (Examination, Evaluation, Dx/Prognosis, & Plan of Care) for people with lower limb amputation. 2.000 Credit Hours 1.000 Lecture hours 4.000 Lab hours Levels: Graduate Semester Schedule Types: Lecture/Supervised Lab/Clinic Allied Health Sciences College Physical Therapy Department

    Prerequisite: Successful completion of Semester I courses Professional Socialization I: Introduction is the beginning of a three-course sequence in which the profession of physical therapy is explored. The history of the profession including the people, world events, and organizational events that have shaped the scope of practice, standard of care and code of ethics will be investigated. The core documents will serve as a foundation for expectation of professional behaviors in documentation, reimbursement, and patient-care settings. The scope of professional conferences and issues of past, current, and future concerns will be discussed. Students are expected and encouraged to participate in future professional conferences, presentations, and the Georgia State Board of Physical Therapy public meeting. Governance of the recognized professional organization, the American Physical Therapy Association will be discussed. One essential element for a professional physical therapist is effective communication. Written, verbal and non-verbal skills for professional, effective communication will be emphasized. The tutorial process as defined by our modified problem-based curriculum will be experienced. 3.000 Credit Hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Semester Schedule Types: Lecture, Lecture/Supervised Lab/Clinic Allied Health Sciences College Physical Therapy Department
