1 cr. Applies principles from research methods and statistics courses to develop a research proposal related to occupational therapy practice. Students conduct an extensive review of literature and develop the methodology for pursuing their research question.
-
4.00 Credits
4 cr. Introduces the historical concepts and contexts in occupational therapy,and explores contemporary conceptual practice models and frames of reference. The value of occupational performance in prevention, intervention and health maintenance is addressed. In addition, specific therapeutic assessment and intervention techniques are introduced through demonstration, hands-on practice, case problems and role play. Course introduces concepts such as professional roles, ethics and professional organizations.

4.00 Credits
4 cr. Analyzes occupational tasks and activities. Students develop an understanding of the dynamic and interdependent relationship between people and their chosen occupations and performance context. Through related lab experiences, students gain an advanced understanding of the use of therapeutic media. Students analyze a variety of functional tasks, grade activities, adapt equipment and recommend assistive technology tomeet the individualized needs of a variety of populations.Students explore the use of media as means of understanding a client's cognitive and functional performance.

2.00 Credits
2 cr. An advanced overviewof normal humanmotor development and changes from the prenatal period through older adulthood.Emphasis is on specific roles and tasks as they relate to development and changes in motor behavior. Students analyze motor components used to achieve milestones, with emphasis placed on issues related to the development of and changes in gross and finemotor skills,postural control and body mechanics.

4 cr. Students learn about the relationships between anatomical structures.Students examinemusculature, nervous tissue, vascular and skeletal components of the upper extremities, lower extremities, trunk, neck and head.Students also investigate specific diagnoses related to anatomical deficits and the impact on daily function. Cadaver dissection laboratory experiences enhance the understanding of the three dimensional anatomical relationships for specific body regions.
-

5 cr. ( Cross-listed as PTH 5511) Introduces the functional morphology of the adult nervous system.Students learn neuroanatomical structures and major pathways to enhance their understanding of the clinicalmanifestations of neurological lesions. Students are presented with current human movement control theory froma neurobiological perspective. There is an in-depth study of 1) sensory system function in the guidance of motor behavior, 2) motor systems function relative to goal directedmovement, postural control and locomotion and 3) the role of higher brain functions in the control of movement.
-
6.00 Credits
6 cr. Presents biomechanical intervention techniques through hands-on practice.These techniques are then applied to a variety of conditions including hand/ upper extremity injury, back injury, arthritis, joint replacement,amputation, cardiopulmonary problems, burns and a variety of metabolic diseases.
-
