3.00 Credits
This course provides students with an in-depth understanding of a variety of radiological and medical imaging techniques that are used in the diagnosis of patients. Basic principles of analysis for common imaging techniques, plain film radiography, MRI and CT Scan, will be presented. The role of diagnostic imaging in medical diagnosis, and the integration of medical diagnosis in the physical therapy clinical decision-making process will be emphasized. Credits: 3
-
4.00 Credits
This course offers an overview of orthopedic physical therapy management of musculoskeletal conditions of the spine and temporomandibular joint. An in depth study of spinal biomechanics, pathophysiology, pathology, and specific disorders of the spine establishes a foundation for a comprehensive examination and evaluation of the spine, as well as a rationale for therapeutic intervention. Physical Therapy diagnosis, as a central element in patient management, will be explored. Patient education, orthopedic manual therapy (both thrust and non-thrust techniques), therapeutic exercise and patient education will be emphasized in physical therapy intervention. Additional topics include ergonomics, mechanisms and management of chronic pain, and work conditioning. The Guide to Physical Therapist Practice will serve as a tool to assist in clinical decision making. Credits: 4

2.00 Credits
The patient with disorders of the integumentary system is the focus of this course. This course provides the application of the Patient Management Model and other components of the Guide to Practice. It encompasses the structure and function of the integumentary and lymphatic systems, burns, pressure ulcers, arterial ulcers, venous ulcers, infections, and lymphedema. Specific treatment interventions include, but are not limited to, universal precautions, wound healing and diseases of the skin. Credits: 2
-
6.00 Credits
This is a supervised six-week clinical educational experience provided in an approved agency. Supervision is provided by a licensed physical therapist. The goal of this experiences experience is to have students manage a variety of patients using the Guide to Practice in examination, evaluation, documentation, goal setting, intervention, and discharge planning. Students should also demonstrate "developing level" behavior criteria in regards to generic abilities. The student is required to continue the portfolio regarding the clinical experience.Credits: 6

6.00 Credits
This is a supervised six-week clinical educational experience provided in an approved agency. The primary emphasis of this experience is to demonstrate entry-level competency in examination, evaluation, documentation, goal setting, intervention, and discharge planning. Students should also demonstrate entry-level behavior criteria in regards to generic abilities. Students are required to add to the portfolio regarding their experiences. Credits: 6
-
2.00 Credits
In this course, students prepare a research proposal for submission to the Nazareth College IRB. The students' background in research methods has prepared them to identify an appropriate research question and prepare a proposal based on scientific literature in the social sciences and this is now applied to physical therapy. Credits: 2
-
4.00 Credits
This course will provide the student with an in depth exploration of current theories of CNS development, dysfunction, recovery, and aging. Topics will include current research on brain function, motor development, and specific theoretical models of neurorehabilitation (e.g., sensory integration, motor control, motor learning, neurodevelopmental treatment). Practical application of techniques and problem-solving situations for individuals throughout the lifespan will be provided in the laboratory sections to further illustrate clinical relevance. Credits: 4
-
4.00 Credits
This course follows the theoretical models and theories explored in PTR 659. The course will provide the student with opportunity to explore patient/client management throughout the lifespan and with respect to the specific episode of care. Topics will include evaluation and development of a complete plan of care including functional training, compensation, home management and adaptation, community and leisure reintegration, appropriate transfer of service, and secondary and tertiary prevention. Evidence will be explored for clinical decision making on appropriate intervention, prognosis, and termination of physical therapy services. Practical application of techniques and problem-solving situations for individuals throughout the lifespan will be provided in the laboratory sections to further illustrate clinical relevance. Credits: 4
-
2.00 Credits
Students with prior IRB approval will begin to collect data, complete the data collection process and provide results to their research adviser. Using appropriate methods of data analysis, students will identify the results of their study. After the results have been reviewed, the students will complete the discussion section of the project report. Credits: 2
-
2.00 Credits
During this course, students will build upon the concepts introduced earlier in the curriculum, especially those related to reimbursement in health care and the roles of the physical therapist as a manager/administrator and a consultant. Using various clinical settings, students will analyze the implementation and effectiveness of leadership styles and management principles in the context of contemporary health care systems.
