8.00 Credits
Initiates patient management sequence. Expands upon the anatomical, kinesiological, and therapeutic exercise principles presented in previous courses. Emphasis on examination and assessment of the musculoskeletal system. Common conditions and impairments are presented and reinforced through use of case examples. Appropriate interventions are addressed conceptually and performed in the laboratory. Addresses concepts and techniques related to proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. Medical documentation integrated into laboratory activities and assignments. Experiential opportunities included. Prerequisites: Physical Therapy 411, 431, 432, 434. Corequisites: Physical Therapy 417. Spring.
-
5.00 Credits
Emphasis on gross anatomy of the human skeleton, muscular and nervous systems. Knowledge of gross anatomy provides students with a sound foundation upon which other courses in the physical therapy curriculum can directly or indirectly be related. Content presented in a regional approach. Includes anatomical concepts such as proper terminology, surface anatomy, and joint function. Gross anatomy is best learned in the laboratory through dissection of the human body and this course is primarily a laboratory experience. Prerequisite: Admission to the DPT program. Summer.
-
2.00 Credits
Introduces elements and principles basic to the study of human movement. Includes principles of basic biomechanics as well as biomechanical behavior of biological tissues.

Emphasizes clinical application of mechanical concepts. Prerequisites: Physical Therapy 431, 441. Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Explores consequences of disruption in normal physiological processes. Common diseases and disorders involving all major body systems addressed, as well as selected systemic diseases. Topics include diseases of infectious, immune system, traumatic, degenerative, and congenital origin. Focuses on pathogenesis, clinical presentation, laboratory findings, prognosis, medical intervention including pharmacological agents, and implications related to physical therapy practice. Prerequisites: Physical Therapy 431, 441. Fall.
-

-
2.00 Credits
Focuses on evidencebased rehabilitation. Addresses the process of asking an answerable question about diagnosis, prognosis, therapy, intervention, etiology, or prevention; finding the best available evidence to answer the question; critically analyzing the evidence for validity, impact, and applicability; integrating the information using clinical expertise with the patient's biology, values, and circumstances; and evaluating the efficacy and economy of the solution. Prerequisite: Physical Therapy 451. Spring. For graduate courses (500 and 600 level), please refer to the graduate course descriptions in this catalog.
-
3.00 Credits
