  • PT 507/L: Kinesiology & Biomechanics II

    2.00 Credits
    Daemen University

    This lecture/laboratory course will further explore the concepts of biomechanics and kinesiology through the application and analysis of static and dynamic evaluation emphasizing the lumbopelvic region and joints of the lower extremities. The students will explore forces affecting arthrokinematic and osteokinematic function within the joints of these regions and relate those to whole body and regional mobility and stability by way of clinical applications to physical therapy. Laboratories will further promote development of critical thinking skills in the application of biomechanical analysis and its implications in examination and intervention. Prerequisite: PT First Year Spring professional status or permission of PT Department. Offered Each Spring.

  • PT 509/L: Principles and Applications of Physical Agents

    4.00 Credits
    Daemen University

    A lecture and laboratory course in which the physiological responses of the body to thermal, mechanical, and electromagnetic energies will be introduced and emphasized. The student learners will also be expected to be able to critically select, justify and skillfully apply appropriate thermal, mechanical and electromagnetic modalities in order to bring about a desired physiological tissue level response. In addition, the student will gain knowledge regarding when physical agents and mechanical modalities are appropriate adjuncts in preparation for other treatment interventions, such as therapeutic exercise and functional training. Prerequisite: PT First Year Spring professional status or permission of PT Department. Offered Each Spring.

  • PT 514/L: Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation I

    5.00 Credits
    Daemen University

    This lecture/laboratory course, the first in a series of three, will introduce and emphasize the elements of physical therapy practice and patient/client management for musculoskeletal rehabilitation. This course will promote development of knowledge and skill required for differentiating musculoskeletal pathophysiologies and impairments of the cervical spine, temporomandibular joint, thoracic spine, and upper extremity as well as relate them to the presentation of patient/client functional limitations and disabilities. Students will further develop critical thinking skills and decision-making processes in evidence-based clinical practice. Additionally, the utilization of disablement models will be included as a conceptual framework for patient/client management. Intervention concepts and techniques will be presented and applied in a conceptual framework emphasizing functional restoration. Laboratories will promote development of skill in the application of examination and intervention techniques discussed in lecture. Prerequisite: PT First Year Fall professional status or permission of PT Department. Offered Each Fall.

    5.00 Credits
    Daemen University

    This lecture/laboratory course, the second in a series of three, will further develop knowledge and skill of the elements of physical therapy practice and patient/ client management for musculoskeletal rehabilitation. This course will reinforce foundational principles presented in PT 514 and will introduce and emphasize knowledge and skill in differentiating musculoskeletal pathophysiologies and impairments of the lumbopelvic region and lower extremity. Intervention philosophies and techniques will be explored and applied in a conceptual framework emphasizing functional restoration. Additional patient care skills will be presented including transfer training, gait training, environmental assessment, therapeutic equipment assessment, and aquatic therapy. Laboratories will promote development of skill in the application of examination and intervention techniques discussed in lecture.

  • PT 516: Clinical Problem Solving in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation

    2.00 Credits
    Daemen University

    This course is the third, in a three part series, which will provide the students an opportunity to further explore topics in musculoskeletal rehabilitation through a problem based learning format. A faculty mentor will present a selected case and the goals and expectations of each learning experience. A small group of students will then proceed in designing and implementing an action plan aimed at achievement of these goals. The students will be required to: interpret and analyze the information provided; gather additional information as necessary from reading and discussions of current scientific professional literature; and to synthesize and present a coherent, evidence-based argument addressing the specific goals of each case study learning experience. The faculty member will serve as a facilitator for directing the students' discussions and psychomotor activities. Prerequisite: PT Second Year Fall professional status or permission of PT Department. Offered Each Fall.

  • PT 517: Clinical Medicine I

    3.00 Credits
    Daemen University

    This course is the first in a three part clinical medicine series. It is designed to challenge the student to evaluate the knowledge of clinical presentations associated with musculoskeletal pathology as a foundation for direct patient/client care and research. Key topics characteristic of common orthopedic pathologies will be addressed including etiology; epidemiology; underlying pathophysiology and histology; clinical signs and symptoms related to impairments, functional limitations, disabilities; natural history and prognosis, diagnostic medical procedures; differential diagnosis; medical, pharmacological, surgical management; and expected outcomes. Differential diagnosis related to musculoskeletal pathology will be emphasized and applied to determine appropriateness of physical therapy intervention. Content presented will encompass pathologies observed across the life span. Prerequisite: PT First Year Fall professional status or permission of PT Department. Offered Each Fall.
