PHT 5220 Musculoskeletal Physical Therapy I
6 Hours
This course is the first in a sequence of two that provides an in-depth exploration of the evaluation, differential diagnosis, prognosis, and intervention of various musculoskeletal dysfunctions of the upper quarter. An integrated model of physical therapy evaluation, assessment, intervention and prevention of soft tissue, bony, and post-surgical problems of the cervical, thoracic, and upper extremity will be discussed from the orthopedic perspective. This course will also include planning and implementing of a physical therapy management approach of manual therapy (muscle energy techniques, mobilization, and manipulation) combined with patient education and exercise. An emphasis of the course will be on applying evidenced-based practice in all areas of upper quarter musculoskeletal management. Where little evidence exists, a pragmatic approach integrating basic principles of biomechanics, pathokinesiology, and pathophysiology will be used. The format of the course includes lectures, discussions, required readings with discussion, small group laboratory experiences, and problem-based, patient-centered case study learning activities. Clinical competence in the evaluation and treatment of upper quarter dysfunction is to be developed.
