Assessment in Adult Physical Dysfunction

Catalog description

This course explores the conceptual foundation and scientific basis for the selection of appropriate assessments and interventions when working with adults with physical dysfunctions in various settings. Students will use evidence-based practice and measurement principles to identify strengths and barriers that inform goal attainment, and how to progress patients through the continuum from referral to assessment to intervention to discharge. Students will identify and articulate the rationale for assessment, intervention, and discharge to clients and other care professionals; and learn about social and political factors that impact service provision in adults.
