3.00 Credits
Description: This is the third of three courses designed to introduce students to the scientific and clinical principles involved in the evaluation and treatment of orthopedic conditions treated by physical therapists. This course will allow students to acquire more advanced skills in the evaluation and treatment of pelvic girdle, spinal, rib cage and temperomandibular joint related orthopedic pathologies and disorders. Manual therapy techniques will be discussed based on the biomechanics of the skeletal joints. Adjunctive treatment procedures used in orthopedics will be discussed. The goal of this course is to prepare the student to evaluate and treat common disorders of the spine, pelvic girdle, and rib cage and to be able to differentiate between distal and proximal nerve pathologies. Intervention approaches will emphasize the concept of identifying the tissue or tissues in lesion when possible and applying the Optimum Stimulation for Regeneration via manual therapy techniques and exercise. Major emphasis will be placed on Nordic manual techniques with frequent reference to Australian manual therapy concepts and Medical Exercise Training concepts. Case studies will be used to help students apply the concepts. Prerequisites: PT552 AND PT550 AND PT515 Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.

3.00 Credits
Description: This course uses a mix of lectures, labs and small group sessions as well as independent study to help the student develop competencies in assessment and treatment of cardiopulmonary impairments and associated disabilities so that they can provide safe and effective patient interventions. Students will develop assessment skills that will enable them to identify acute and chronic cardiopulmonary/cardiovascular impairments across the lifespan and to choose and apply treatment strategies appropriate to the problems identified during their assessment. Prerequisites: PT528 AND PT552 AND PT601 Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: This course adds to the knowledge base of the student by providing instruction regarding the pathology of disease states, the implications of the disease as regards system impairments, functional limitations, and disablement. Further, the content will include discussions of the evidence in support of the available treatment of each disease discussed, and how the particular pathology influences the therapeutic regime. Students will participate in lectures and will use several vehicles to disseminate information about a chosen pathology. Prerequisites: PT450 AND PT550 Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: This course provides advanced study in small groups of varying areas related to physical therapy practice. Each student chooses two electives in the fifth year of the PT program. Prerequisites: PT603 AND PT610 AND PT650 AND PT608 Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: An eight-week full-time clinical experience during the summer semester following the second professional year. This course is designed to provide the student with competency in the intermediate to entry level skills of managing musculoskeletal dysfunction; basic to intermediate skills of managing patients with neurological, cardiopulmonary, and integumentary dysfunctions; and basic to intermediate administrative functions. Prerequisites: PT500 AND PT530 AND PT554 AND PT560 Credit Hours: 4 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: This course is the first in a four-semester Research Methods series. Students will work in groups to initiate a research project under the guidance of a faculty researcher. Students will conduct a literature review, formulate research questions, design a research methodology to answer those questions, and develop a research proposal. If appropriate, students will submit the proposal to an Institutional Review Board. Prerequisites: PT420 AND PT412 AND PT450 AND PT515 AND PT550 AND MS345 Credit Hours: 1 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: This course is the second course in a four-semester Research Methods series. It is intended to follow the IRB approval of a research proposal. During this semester students will work in groups with their research advisor to finalize their data collection protocol, establish a data collection management system, seek participants following the guidelines established by the IRB proposal and informed consent process, initiate data collection for their research project, and document collected data following the established management guidelines. Prerequisites: PT601 AND PT552 AND PT528 Credit Hours: 1 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: This course is the third course in the four-semester Research Methods series. It intends to prepare students for writing a journal quality manuscript, with appropriate use of statistical analysis. During this semester, students will work in groups to complete the data collection and analysis for their research projects. Prerequisites: PT602 AND PT554 AND PT560 AND PT520 AND PT561 Credit Hours: 2 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: This course is the final course in the four-semester Research Methods series. It prepares students for presentation of a completed research study using three different formats, including an oral presentation, a scientific paper, and a poster. The course discusses differences among these three formats, as well as the qualities that contribute to excellence and the pitfalls to avoid in each type of presentation. Students will also gain experience in writing a formal critique of a manuscript. Students are expected to apply the knowledge they have gained from other classes regarding presentations, communication, and education. Prerequisites: PT603 AND PT610 AND PT650 AND PT661 AND PT608 Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: This course provides a review of neural, vascular, and musculoskeletal anatomy initially covered in the first gross anatomy course. This review will make use of previously prosected cadaveric specimens as it integrates knowledge of anatomical pathology learned in previous clinical physical therapy courses. This course serves as a review for the physical therapist licensing exam. Prerequisites: PT603 AND PT610 AND PT650 AND PT608 AND PT661 Credit Hours: 1 CR.HR.
