Therapeutic Skills III

Catalog description

The 7-course Therapeutic Skills Series investigates clinical management concepts from the Guide to PT Practice. Holistic patient approaches are presented for PT examination, assessment, and intervention of the patient with increasing complexity requiring an advancing ability to clinically reason, critically think, prioritize, and administer best-practice care. In Therapeutic Skills 3, the 3rd of the 7-course series, students learn principles and application of systems review and basic examination techniques with in-depth extremity assessment from an orthopedic perspective. Therapeutic modalities investigated include ultrasound, diathermy, UV, laser, and hydrotherapy. Pediatric developmental measurement outcome scales and aquatic therapy principles, goals, and techniques are explored.
