3.00 Credits
Description: This course is designed to provide the PT student with clinical specialty skills in pediatric neuro-rehabilitation. Students will develop competencies in the assessment and management of the child diagnosed with any of the primary neurological conditions found in pediatrics. A holistic view of the child is stressed, especially the interrelationships among the child, the family, and the community. Prerequisites: PT552 AND PT560 AND PT520 Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.

3.00 Credits
Description: This course is the second part of the series in neurological rehabilitation in the Physical Therapy program. It builds on the foundational courses of Neurophysiology and Neuromuscular I, covering the pathology, medical management, and physical therapy intervention for a number of neurological conditions that are representative of the most common neurological diagnoses seen in clinical practice. In addition to mastering new treatment techniques and interventions, students will learn to apply the principles and skills learned in previous courses to diverse neurologically-impaired populations. This course also exposes students to current benchwork scientific research related to the conditions studied, emphasizes critical analysis of primary scientific literature. Prerequisites: PT552 AND PT560 AND PT520 Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: This elective course is designed to provide the student with a more in-depth approach to evaluation and treatment techniques for the spine, pelvic girdle and ribs from a manual therapy perspective. The main emphasis of the course will be on improving clinical reasoning skills in identifying the specific lesion(s) and the treatment approach. The second goal is to improve manual skills that emphasize the Nordic approach, the Australian lumbar and pelvic stabilization concepts and the use of exercise in rehab. The treatment concepts are based on current scientific research principles. The lab sessions emphasize the development of palpation and technique application skills. The integration of manual therapy skills with exercise programs and patient education is an important component of this course. Prerequisites: Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: This elective course is designed as an overview of sports medicine from a physician-based model and a sports therapist perspective. This course includes a review of musculoskeletal therapies with an emphasis on manual skills for prevention, evaluation, and treatment of athletic injuries. The physician-based model provides an overview of all body systems as they pertain to athletics. Topics will emphasize variations from young to old and male to female athletes. Prerequisites: Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: This course provides an analysis of contemporary upper and lower-limb orthotic and prosthetic components and trunk orthoses, including the biomechanical principles upon which the designs are based. Topics include the static and dynamic evaluation of patients fitted with orthoses and prostheses. Discussion will also include recent trends in early and prosthetic management for adults and children with amputation. The role of physical therapist as part of the rehabilitation team in selecting orthotic and prosthetic devices will be examined. Prerequisites: PT554 Credit Hours: 2 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: This course is designed as an overview of health and wellness as it can be incorporated into a physical therapy practice. This course will review statistics, risks, treatment options, and prevention strategies for many chronic health problems. Age and gender differences will be reviewed in the discussion of treatment and prevention strategies. Students will work in groups to develop and present a health and wellness business proposal. The final copy of this proposal will be in format suitable to deliver to the student's next employer. Prerequisites: PT661 AND PT664 Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: This course provides students with an overview of patient interview and evaluation techniques for the primary health care provider. As autonomous practitioners, physical therapists are responsible for identifying factors that affect a patient's response to treatment and may necessitate referral to a physician for follow-up and treatment. This course uses a case-based approach to the medical screening process to help students develop interview and evaluation skills that facilitate this process. In addition students will learn to use pharmacological and basic laboratory data essential to the screening process. Prerequisites: PT610 AND PT650 AND PT608 Credit Hours: 2 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: This seminar course is designed to provide an examination of the educational factors supporting successful adult learning within health care settings. Students will examine the impact of identity differences (race, ethnicity, class, gender, disability and other identity differences), adult development theories and learning theories in the education of adults. Students will explore the educational principles and methodologies needed to educate various constituencies within healthcare. Through the application of theories, principles, and methodologies in a community health project, students will acquire the pedagogical foundations to develop, deliver, and evaluate educational products for their clients, professional peers and physical therapy students. Prerequisites: PT552 AND PT560 AND PT520 Credit Hours: 2 CR.HR.
-
4.00 Credits
Description: This CD-based and online course will provide the PT clinical doctoral learner with the tools needed to interpret and apply specialized medical imaging information to the rehabilitation patient. Musculoskeletal imaging is emphasized. A basic introduction of imaging techniques for other physiological systems (CNS, Heart, lung, vascular tree) will also be incorporated (Doppler ultrasound, V/Q scan, echocardiography, radioisotope testing, etc.). This course strengthens physical therapist clinical expertise in comprehensive patient evaluation, diagnosis, treatment planning, and physician interaction. The course requires completion of a 12-hour learning CD plus 4 hours of either online or on-campus class discussion of case studies. Prerequisites: PT560 AND PT510 AND PT552 Credit Hours: 1 CR.HR.

4.00 Credits
Description: This CD-based and online course will provide the PT clinical doctoral learner with the primary drug classes and the physiologic basis of their action. Drugs will be grouped according to their general effects and the type of disorders they are routinely used to treat. Special emphasis will be placed on drugs that are commonly used to treat people receiving physical therapy. This course will likewise address how drug therapy interacts with physical therapy, and how drugs can exert beneficial effects as well as adverse side effects that impact on rehabilitation. A specific area of focus will include geriatric pharmacology. The course requires completion of a 13-hour learning CD plus 4 hours of either online or on-campus class discussion of case studies. Prerequisites: PT560 AND PT510 AND PT552 Credit Hours: 1 CR.HR.
