  • DPT 847: Clinical Education II

    10.00 Credits
    Misericordia University

    This is an eight-week, full-time clinical education experience occurring during the fifth semester of the program (Fall II). This experience will build upon Clinical Education I and incorporate the additional competencies attained in didactic and laboratory work. Students will continue to use problem-solving strategies in direct patient care, under the guidance of physical therapy clinical faculty. A variety of patient populations and problems will be provided to allow for full integration of professional knowledge and skills in total patient care. The students will be encouraged to reflect upon their knowledge and skills to identify problem areas to be addressed in Clinical Education II. Further development of interpersonal skills, clinical decision making, self-assessment, proactive learning, and professional socialization is expected. (10 weeks.)

  • DPT 851: Musculoskeletal Physical Therapy I

    5.00 Credits
    Misericordia University

    This course will introduce the student to skills necessary for physical therapy examination of and intervention for problems of the musculoskeletal system primarily involving the upper and lower extremities. A number of examination and intervention principles utilized throughout the musculoskeletal system will be examined, as well as joint-specific principles. These principles will then be applied to the anatomy and biomechanics of the specific regions of the upper and lower extremities. Pathologies will be explored in light of their regional effects on the anatomy and biomechanics, as well as the effect of these changes in mechanics on the function of the body as a whole. (Lecture: 3 hours, Lab: 4 hours.)

  • DPT 853: Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physical Therapy

    4.00 Credits
    Misericordia University

    This course explores cardiopulmonary anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology, and the effects of aging on these systems. Cardiopulmonary dysfunction as a complication of other medical conditions is stressed. Screening, examination, evaluation, differential diagnosis, intervention and modification within the scope of physical therapy practice are emphasized. Integration of medical laboratory studies, medical diagnoses, graded exercise testing with EKG analysis, and pharmacological factors with PT examination and intervention planning are analyzed. Intervention stresses environmental and lifestyle factors, health and wellness attitudes, and physical therapy as integral to patient and public education. Classroom, laboratory, group, and clinical sessions are used to facilitate integration of competencies and skills. (Lecture: 3 hours, Lab: 2 hours.)

  • DPT 855: Musculoskeletal Physical Therapy II

    4.00 Credits
    Misericordia University

    This course is a continuation of Musculoskeletal PT I. The principles studied in this course are related to the examination of and intervention for dysfunction of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spines and the TMJ. In addition principles specific to spinal pathology and mechanics will be introduced. Pathologies investigated in Musculoskeletal PT I that affect the extremities will be re-examined in regard to their effect on the spine. (Lecture: 2 hours, Lab: 4 hours.)

  • DPT 857: Neuromuscular Physical Therapy I

    5.00 Credits
    Misericordia University

    This course will review neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neuropathology with expansion to neurological examination, intervention and rehabilitation. Analysis of posture and movement during the normal process of development and aging as well as in clients with neurological impairments will be emphasized. Current movement theory, postural control, and motor learning research will be applied and integrated with knowledge gained in previous coursework for clinical decision making in evaluation and selection of appropriate intervention strategies. The theoretical basis and treatment techniques for selected neuromotor techniques such as PNF, NDT and sensory integration will also be included. Laboratory sessions will emphasize the development of specific psychomotor examination and intervention skills necessary for the successful examination, evaluation and intervention of clients across the lifespan.
