2.00 Credits
2 semester hours Prerequisite: PHTH 411 This course is the second in a series of five research classes. It covers measurement theory and applied statistics. Students will select a research topic and complete an IRRB proposal and human consent form based upon their proposed research project.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours Prerequisite: admission into the Traditional Physical Therapy Program This course traces normal sensory and motor development throughout the lifespan. The recognition of abnormal development is also covered. The course considers the effects of psychological, emotional, social, and cognitive factors on the development of the individual as well. Implications for the physical therapist are stressed.
-
5.00 Credits
5 semester hours Prerequisite: admission into the Traditional Physical Therapy Program This course represents an in-depth study of nervous system anatomy and physiology. It also includes pathology, clinical syndromes, plasticity, and development of the nervous system. Concepts of sensorymovement integration and motor and postural control are considered. Emphasis is placed on application of neuroscience information to physical therapy practice.
-
5.00 Credits
5 semester hours Prerequisite: admission into the Traditional Physical Therapy Program This course will focus on human anatomy and clinical application relevant to physical therapy students. The course includes a dissection of the human body, surface anatomy, and regional anatomy. Lectures on embryonic development highlight the correlation between human development and adult anatomic structure and discuss relevant developmental anatomical anomalies. Laboratory sessions will include anatomical models, computer programs, and cadaver dissections.
-
2.00 Credits
2 semester hours Prerequisite: PHTH 409 A continuation of PHTH 409, Clinical Medicine I. This course is a study of the etiology, pathology, epidemiology, course, duration, prognosis, and clinical picture of common diseases and syndromes affecting the skeletal, articular, and neuromuscular systems. It also includes medical and surgical interventions, as well as a discussion of impairments and functional limitations for those disorders commonly seen in physical therapy.
-
2.00 Credits
2 semester hours Prerequisites: admission into the Traditional Physical Therapy Program This is the first in a three-course series in lecture/laboratory courses that introduce the student to selected examination, evaluation, and intervention procedures. Examination procedures include taking patient histories, interpreting the physician referral, decision-making rubrics for choosing examination procedures, concepts of "systems review" as they apply to the cardiopulmonary and integumentarysystems. Also introduced are the concepts of early discharge planning, interpretation of examination results, and determining a PT diagnosis/prognosis, as well as setting goals/projecting outcomes. Intervention procedures include basic caregiver performance issues, responding to medical emergencies, positioning/draping, use of universal precautions, and sterile technique/dressings/bandages.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours Prerequisites: PHTH 405 and 431 This is the second in a three-course series of lecture/laboratory courses that introduce the student to selected examination, evaluation, and intervention procedures. Besides building on the previous course for evaluation procedures, new examination procedures introduced include segments of the neuromuscular and musculoskeletal examination, including range of motion and strength testing. New intervention procedures introduced include creating plans of care, massage, handling medical treatment devices used in the acute care setting, wheelchair use, patient transfers, and basic gait training with assistive devices.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours Prerequisite: PHTH 433 This is the third in a three-course series of lecture/laboratory courses that introduce the student to selected examination, evaluation, and intervention procedures. Besides building on previous courses for evaluation procedures, new examination procedures introduced include basics of the neuromuscular exam, exam of gait, functional capacity examination, home environmental assessment, and functional outcomes assessment. New intervention procedures introduced include basic techniques of therapeutic exercise.
