-
3.00 Credits
Reading or research arranged for the individual or a small group. Open to juniors and seniors with permission of the instructor. Offered Each Semester.
-
3.00 Credits
Practical experience in a community agency, business organization or other psychology-related setting. Prerequisite: Permission of psychology department chair. Offered Each Semester.
-
3.00 Credits
This course applies biopsychosocial models of health, illness and disability, including the effects of stress and lifestyle on health and illness; psychosocial aspects of disability, including social attitudes and perceptions; adjustment to and secondary effects of disability; and health beliefs and their consequences for behavior. This course will develop student competence in responding to individuals who are experiencing physical and psychiatric problems. This course is designed for Physical Therapy students to be taken in the professional phase of their curriculum. Students will have had exposure to patients with musculoskeletal and neurological disorders and will therefore be able to consider the issues addressed in the course in the context of specific illnesses and/or disabilities relating to these body systems. Prerequisite: PSY 103 or permission of instructor. Offered Each Spring.
-
1.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce students to the physical therapy profession and to the professional phase of the physical therapy curriculum. Students will be introduced to the history of the physical therapy profession, scope of practice, professional organizations, roles of other health care professionals, and the importance of scientific research and its link to the concept of evidence-based practice. Concepts related to managed care and the changing health care environment will be explored as they relate to the health care professional and consumer. Additionally, issues of contemporary practice will be discussed and debated. Prerequisite: PT freshman status or permission of instructor or PT Department. Offered Each Fall and Spring Semester (As Needed).
-
1.00 Credits
This course is the second in a sequence of two courses designed to introduce students to the professional phase of the physical therapy curriculum and the profession. Topics will include an introduction to medical terminology and documentation formats in physical therapy, principles of therapeutic communication, core values, sociocultural issues and cultural competence in health care delivery, issues in professional continuing education in a dynamic profession, and computer literacy in physical therapy. Prerequisite: PT 101 or permission of instructor or PT Department. Offered Each Fall and Spring Semester (As Needed).
-
3.00 Credits
Together with CMP 315: Advanced Composition for Health Professionals, this course fulfills the Research & Presentation requirement. The course focuses on educational principles associated with adult learning. Topics will include theoretical models of cognitive development, adult learning styles, and taxonomies of educational objectives. Principles of teaching and learning will be applied in the affective, cognitive, and psychomotor domains. The importance of designing educational experiences to meet the unique needs of the learner will be emphasized as they relate to individuals from different social, economic, and cultural backgrounds, as well as individuals with disabilities. Students will be required to design and orally present a learning activity to a selected audience. Prerequisites: PT 101, PT 201 or permission of instructor or PT Department. Offered Each Spring (As Needed).
-
3.00 Credits
Students will develop an understanding of the principles and applications of parametric and nonparametric statistics, particularly with respect to applications in physical therapy. Topics will include: probability, scales of measurement, reliability and validity, sampling techniques, experimental design and hypothesis development (statistical inference), descriptive statistics, parametric and nonparametric tests of significance, correlation, and regression. Selection of appropriate statistical procedures will be presented with reference to principles of experimental design presented in PT 553: Introduction to Clinical Research Design. Students will use both calculators and computer software (SPSS, Excel) for analyzing data and developing graphic representations. Prerequisites: PT Second Year Spring professional status or permission of PT Department. Offered Each Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will build upon the fundamental content taught in BIO 330: General Anatomy. This course, the first of a series of two clinically oriented functional anatomy courses, will focus on the detailed structure and function of the human neuromusculoskeletal system. The relationships of normal and abnormal embryological and developmental processes to gross anatomical structure and to movement and function across the life span will be presented. The specific anatomical content will be presented through a regional approach and will include the cervical, thoracic, and upper limb regions. Lecture and laboratory sessions will include human cadaver dissection and prosections, models, and clinically oriented peer presentations and problem solving experiences. Prerequisite: PT First Year Fall professional status or permission of PT Department. Offered Each Fall.
-
2.00 Credits
This course, the second of a series of two, will focus on the detailed structure and function of the human neuromusculoskeletal system of the lumbar and pelvic regions and the lower extremities. The relationships of normal and abnormal embryological and developmental processes to gross anatomical structure and to movement and function across the life span will be presented. Lecture and laboratory sessions will include human cadaver dissection and prosections, models, and clinically oriented peer presentations and problem solving experiences. Prerequisites: PT 504 and PT First Year Spring professional status or permission of PT Department. Offered Each Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
This lecture/laboratory course, the first in a two- part series, will introduce and emphasize the concepts of biomechanics and kinesiology through static and dynamic applications to physical therapy. Principles of kinetics and kinematics will be explored using such tools as EMG, dynamometry, and video motion analysis. This course will build upon anatomical structure presented in PT 504 in discussing mechanical properties of tissues and whole body and regional movement analysis of functional tasks. An in-depth study of the biomechanics of the cervical, temporomandibular, thoracic, and upper limb regions will be presented including clinical application. Laboratories will promote development of skill in critical analysis of normal and abnormal movement, the application of kinetic and kinematic biomechanical analysis, and the design of strategies and parameters for reliable and valid examination procedures and interventions. Prerequisite: PT First Year Fall professional status or permission of PT Department. Offered Each Fall.
