Catalog description

Students learn through lecture, guided practice, literature reviews, case-based discussion, and documentation assignments, important skills for patient management in clinical practice. Examples of these skills include: assessment of range of motion, muscle performance, and posture: the therapeutic use of passive, active-assisted, and manually resisted motion; and the design and implementation of therapeutic exercise programs. An emphasis is placed on the integration of examination findings, current scientific evidence, and sound clinical reasoning to guide the use of therapeutic exercise for prevention and rehabilitation of movement dysfunction and disability. Prerequisites: Successful completion of all coursework in previous semesters
