Corequisite: PHTH 523
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHTH 515, PHTH 522, PHTH 525, For PT Students This course presents principles and practice of examination and evaluation skills. The student is given the opportunity to implement environmental and postural screening techniques. Integration of anatomy and kinesiology principles are included within this course.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 511, HEPR 300, HEPR 350, PHTH 500, PHTH 509, PHTH 531 For PT Students Corequisite: PHTH 525L The course presents patient management needed to function in the health care environment. Patient care skills include body mechanics, positioning, draping, range of motion, transfers, standard precautions, massage, ambulation with assistive devices, wheel chairs, vital signs, and communication skills. Concurrent laboratory instruction reinforces the basic principles learned in lecture. Throughout this class the student will be developing clinical decision making abilities and documenting on provisions directed towards patient care. Prosthetics and orthotics will be introduced in this class.

Corequisite: PHTH 525
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHTH 515; PHTH 522; PHTH 525; For PT Students This course includes the study of diagnostic and therapeutic imaging studies. This course will introduce concepts of imaging using plain film radiography, arthrography, magnetic imaging (MRI), computerized axial tomography (CAT), angiography, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine. Students will learn to understand radiographic anatomy and clinical correlation with different patient cases. Emphasis will also be placed on understanding diagnostic imaging from a primary care practitioner point of view. Diagnostic imaging cases covered will include musculoskeletal, neurologic, and cardiopulmonary conditions.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: HEPR 370; BIOL 394; For PT Students This course provides students the didactic background on the physiological effects of exercise on the human body. This course emphasizes the neural, hormonal, cardiovascular and pulmonary responses with acute and chronic exercise. Additional topics include but not limited to measurement of oxygen uptake/energy expenditure, exercise response in special populations through lifespan and applications of exercise physiology concepts to sports and athletic performance enhancement. Concurrent laboratory instruction reinforces the basic principles learned in lecture and teaches the principles and skills of measurement and evaluation in the field of exercise physiology.

This course is the first of a four-course series that focuses on diseases affecting systems of the body. This course emphasizes the physical therapy management of patients with immune, gastrointestinal, genitourinary and hematological dysfunction throughout the lifespan. The course also explores a variety of other conditions including Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), various cancers and infectious diseases. Each condition will be presented with specific reference to etiology, pathology, and current medical management. Different levels of impairments, functional limitations (activities), and disabilities (participation) will also be examined. The course emphasizes the development of clinical decision making, differential diagnosis and effective physical therapy interventions for these patient populations.

Prerequisite: PHTH 531, For PT Students This course is the second of a four-course series that focuses on diseases affecting systems of the body. This course emphasizes the physical therapy management of pathological conditions of the musculoskeletal system throughout the lifespan. Each condition will be presented with specific reference to etiology, pathology, differential diagnosis and current medical management. Different levels of impairments, functional limitations (activities), and disabilities (participation) will also be examined. Class discussion of contemporary research and case studies will be used to focus student’s attention on the principles of musculoskeletal rehabilitation and their practical application. The course emphasizes the development of clinical decision making, differential diagnosis and effective physical therapy interventions for these patient populations.

Prerequisite: PHTH 531; For PT Students This course is the third of a four-course series that focuses on diseases affecting systems of the body. This course emphasizes the physical therapy management of patients with central nervous system and peripheral nervous system disorders as well as neuromuscular disease throughout the lifespan. The course will focus on acquired neurological injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, spinal cord disorders, peripheral neuromuscular disease and vestibular disorders. Each condition will be presented with specific reference to etiology, pathology, and current medical management. Different levels of impairments, functional limitations (activities), and disabilities (participation) will also be examined. The course emphasizes the development of clinical decision making, differential diagnosis and effective physical therapy interventions for these patient populations.
