Students will gain experience by role-playing the part of the physical therapist assistant and also acting as surrogate patients. Students will engage in extensive laboratory practice in palpation, goniometry, flexibility testing, manual muscle testing, therapeutic exercise, stretching, sensation testing, deep tendon reflex testing, and limb length and girth measurement. An overview of selected orthopedic special tests commonly utilized in physical therapy is covered, and students are exposed to concepts of joint mobilization. The course organization parallels that of PTA130 in that study of the specific regions of the body for both courses will be sequenced as follows: hip, knee, foot, ankle, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, and spine.
