3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 1314; Corequisite: PTA 1013, PTA 1112, BIO 1414 3 CREDITS The student will be introduced to basic concepts concerning human motion, bony landmarks, muscle location and function, and nerve innervations. The student will learn basic manual muscle testing to assess function and complete an in depth learning module on the use of the goniometer to assess joint motion. The class is divided into five units of instruction: terminology, skeletal and articular system, functional anatomy, goniometry, and manual muscle testing.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 1314; Corequisite: PTA 1013, PTA 1023, BIO 1414 2 CREDITS The student will identify underlying circumstances and phases of disease and dysfunction, describe primary and secondary disability patterns related to various deficits, gain knowledge of functional activities and techniques to prevent secondary disabilities using special equipment as needed, and identify terms, prefixes, suffixes and abbreviations used in the medical practice.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PTA 1013, PTA 1023, PTA 1112; Corequisites: PTA 1213, PTA 1224, BIO 2102 2 CREDITS The student will be introduced to basic terminology and the theoretical frameworks that guide the study of the human lifespan. The student will review the physiological function of different body systems, their interrelationships, and how changes occur over the course of a lifetime. The student will correlate these changes with age appropriate motor, cognitive, and social-emotional development across the lifespan, and demonstrate awareness and appropriate therapeutic intervention for specific issues/conditions that impact infants, children, adolescents, adults, and elders.

Prerequisite: PTA 1013, PTA 1023, PTA 1112; Co-requisite: PTA 1202, PTA 1224, and BIO 2102 3 CREDITS The student will apply therapeutic modalities and have knowledge of pain mechanisms to improve a patient's functional independence. The student will be able to safely and competently demonstrate the use of thermal modalities, ultrasound, traction, continuous passive motion devices, dynamic splinting, and massage to treat a patient's conditions. The students will recognize that all treatments provided by a physical therapist assistant are within the plan of care established by the physical therapist and are performed under the general supervision of a physical therapist in the state of Oklahoma. The student will also learn and apply documentation skills for the above modalities. The student must demonstrate proficiency/competency of above modalities with testing, and oral/practical demonstrations.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PTA 1013, PTA 1023, PTA 1112; Corequisite PTA 1202, PTA 1213, BIO 2102 4 CREDITS The student will apply biomechanical principles of human motion to progress basic exercise programs to complex exercise programs. The student will understand the purposes, indications, and contraindications for exercise. The student will be able to apply the principles of therapeutic exercise to a wide variety of orthopedic conditions, monitor the effectiveness of the exercise, and progress the patient's exercise program within the plan of care established by the physical therapist.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: The student must have completed the following courses with a "C" or better to participate in the Initial Practicum: PTA 1013, PTA 1023, PTA 1112, PTA 1213, PTA 1224,PTA 1202; BIO 2102 2 CREDITS The student will be assigned to a selected physical therapy practice for a minimum of 160 contact hours.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PTA 1312; Corequisite: PTA 2024, PTA 2113 4 CREDITS The student will learn how to apply therapeutic modalities within a physical therapist's plan of care, and use knowledge of pain perception to help improve a patient'sfunctional independence. The student will gain knowledge of application and usage of the following modalities/treatment techniques: electrical stimulation, wound healing techniques (including dressings, topical agents, debridement techniques, universal precautions), respiratory treatments (including different coughing techniques, breathing exercises, and postural drainage/chest PT), and edema management (including compression therapies). Students will be able to use critical thinking to implement modality usage as per the physical therapist's plan of care, and document patient response and effectiveness of their treatments. The student must demonstrate proficiency/competency in these modalities through testing and oral/practical demonstrations.
