    The course will address physical therapy assessment and treatment of common musculockeletal disorders of the extremities. Basic level differential diagnosis and treatment techniques will be presented including joint mobilizations (Grades I-V), soft tissue massage, ambulation and activity progression and therapeutic exercise. Therapeutic exercise, isometric, isotonic, and isokinetic testing and rehabilitation will be studied with integrated exposure to rehabilitation equipment used with these patient populations. Students will be exposed to various treatment rationales. Learning will be approached through tutorial and practical lab sessions. 5.000 Credit Hours 5.000 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 address physical therapy evaluation, assessment and rehabilitation of spinal disorders and the temporo-mandibular joint. Spinal topics include lumbar, SIJ, cervical, thoracic and temporomandibular joint regions. Evaluation and treatment of surgical and non-surgical conditions will be taught. The student will be trained in the systematic assessment of musculoskeletal dysfunction of each of thse regions. Treatment techniques instructed will include spinal mobilization (Grades I-V), soft tissue massage, manual and mechanical traction, body mechanics, self care techniques and therapuetic exercise. The student will be exposed to various treatment rationales that are prominent in physical therapy, however, the Maitland_Australian approach will be emphasized. The epidemiology and ergonomics of back and neck pain will also be investigated. Learning will be approached through critical appraisal of the literature using small group tutorials and practical lab sessions such that the basis of evidence based practice of physical therapy in these clinical areas will be developed. 6.000 Credit Hours 5.000 Lecture hours 6.000 Lab hours Levels: Graduate Semester Schedule Types: Lecture/Supervised Lab/Clinic Allied Health Sciences College Physical Therapy Department
