-
3.00 Credits
SAR PT 511; PT 521; HP 531; PT students only. This course delineates the role of the physical therapist in the rehabilitation of individuals with chronic cardiac, pulmonary, and peripheral vascular dysfunction. Emphasis is on the evidence-based assessment of functional capacity and treatment through the use of physical conditioning, patient education, risk factor modification, and psychosocial support. Also includes wound care, diabetes, and prosthetic management for those whose disease has led to amputation. Laboratory included. 2 cr, 2nd sem.
-
3.00 Credits
SAR HS 369 or HS 581; coreq: PT 520. PT students only. Emphasizes development of a problem-solving approach to the performance of a physical therapy examination. Selected examination skills common across content areas of physical therapy will be covered. Lab included. 4 cr, Summer Term 2
-
3.00 Credits
SAR HS 369 or HS 581. Principles of biomechanics, muscle physiology, and joint structure that govern normal function are examined and applied in the study of the joints of the upper extremity, lower extremity, and spine. Both normal and pathological joint functions are covered, as well as principles of gait. 4 cr, Summer Term 2
-
3.00 Credits
PT 520, PT 515. PT students only. Building on principles learned in Functional Anatomy and Physical Therapy Examination, this is the first in a series of three courses that focuses on the evidence-based physical therapy management of musculoskeletal disorders throughout the life span. Further development of skills and additional foundational concepts and techniques are taught with emphasis on the upper extremities. 6 cr, 1st sem.
-
3.00 Credits
PT 521. PT students only. This is the second in a series of three courses that focuses on the evidence-based physical therapy management of musculoskeletal disorders throughout the life span.

-
3.00 Credits
SAR HS 369/581, SAR PT 515, and SAR PT 520. PT students only. An introduction to neural systems with special emphasis on those systems appropriate to physical therapy rehabilitation. Basic neuroanatomy/neurophysiology is presented with a discussion of issues that have clinical relevance. Topics include cranial and peripheral nerves; brainstem, midbrain, and cortical anatomy; vascular brain anatomy; cellular neurophysiology; basic neuromuscular physiology; spinal reflexes; basic control systems applied to neural systems including segmental, oculomotor, and postural control systems; and neural plasticity. 4 cr, 2nd sem.
-
2.00 Credits
PT 520, PT 515. PT students only. This is the first of two courses that integrates didactic content with the application of knowledge and skills in the clinical setting. Students will participate in structured learning experiences within the clinical setting one day per week, under the direct supervision of a Clinical Instructor.
