Assessment, Measurement and Documentation

Catalog description

During part-2 of this combination lecture-lab course series the students will focus on the data collection of the musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary and neurological systems by reproducing and interpreting tests and measures in PT POC. In this course, the students should integrate and apply previous biomechanical and functional anatomy knowledge gained in prerequisite courses. Students will continue to document according to Medicare and legal guidelines including how to assimilate and carryout an established PT POC, as well as, the ethical, legal and fiscal responsibilities of documentation through the use of an EMR simulation program.
