3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHT 1801L and PHT 2220C. This lecture/laboratory course provides introductory study of the neurological, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular basis for application of therapeutic exercise. This course is intended as a progression from the body of knowledge encompassed in the previous section of this class (PHT 2220C). This course will describe general aspects of therapeutic exercise including, but not limited to, effects of medications on exercises, stages of rehabilitation, rehabilitation of the amputee, and common indications and usage of orthotics and prosthetics. Specific attention will be given to application of therapeutic exercise for specific body segment and/or joints of the upper extremities, lower extremities, and spine. Application of gait training to various pathologies and/or problems will be discussed.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHT 1128C, PHT 1250C, PHT 2220C; Corequisites: PHT 1129C and PHT 1213C. This is a lecture/laboratory course designed to introduce the student to orthopedic diseases, syndromes, and injuries with emphasis on those conditions most commonly treated in physical therapy rehabilitation. The student will recall basic anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and kinesiology and apply this information to common disorders seen in the musculoskeletal system. The student will then utilize this information to develop appropriate intervention strategies for rehabilitation of the musculoskeletal/ orthopedic pathologies and conditions.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHT 2810L This is a lecture/laboratory course designed to provide the student with an understanding of diseases, syndromes, and injuries of neurological and neuromuscular origin. The course will provide information regarding etiology, pathology, and appropriate physical therapy rehabilitation for these conditions. Areas covered include: cerebellar disorders, peripheral neuropathies, intracranial hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, MS/ALS, Parkinson's Disease, and pediatrics.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHT 1801L, PHT 2221C, and PHT 2931 This clinical experience is designed to develop patient treatment skills. The student is an active participant in direct patient care under direct supervision of a clinical instructor and applies the knowledge and skills learned in previous classes. Students are exposed to a number of diagnoses and are responsible for the preparation of a case study or clinical in service.
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHT 2810L, PHT 2930, and PHT 2253C. This is a comprehensive clinical experience which serves as the final preparation of the physical therapist assistant student. Focus is on total patient care, application of knowledge and skills learned in previous classes, time management, and interaction with other disciplines. The student carries a small patient case load under the supervision of a physical therapist or assistant.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHT 2810L; Corequisite: PHT 2253C. This is a course designed to provide the student the opportunity to participate in the integrated treatment of patients with selected diagnoses. Guest speakers will lecture on their specialty areas and students will demonstrate selected patient treatments. The course will conclude with a comprehensive clinical competency exam.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHT 1801L. This course provides the student with a thorough understanding of the structure and ethics of the physical therapy profession. APTA structure and function and current legislative issues will be discussed, and the student will be exposed to reimbursement issues, principles of interdisciplinary treatment approaches, oral and written communication skills, biomedical ethics, and selected special topics that influence patient interaction.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MAC 1105. Basic concepts of physics will meet the requirements for some technical programs. Students will demonstrate knowledge of elementary concepts of mechanics, heat, sound, wave motion, electricity, magnetism, optics, and topics in modern physics. Selected experiments are used to reinforce lecture material.
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MAC 2311. General Physics I with Calculus meets the introductory level physics requirement for students of science and engineering. General Physics I is a calculus level course emphasizing the areas of mechanics, sound, and wave motion. Selected experiments are used to reinforce the lecture material.
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHY 2048C General Physics II with Calculus meets the introductory level physics requirement for students of science and engineering. General Physics II is a calculus level course emphasizing the areas of thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, optics, and topics in modern physics. Selected experiments are used to reinforce the lecture material.
