This course assists students with bridging the gap between basic anatomy, physiology, and disease processes that affect the adult population. Students will be expected to complete pre-work assignments to prepare for review (1-hour lecture) and application of material (2-hour lab). Case studies will guide students in applying knowledge to occupational performance and clinical presentations. Course content will be reinforced through OTD 5353 and will help students select assessments and interventions with the pediatric to adult population. Areas of concentration may include orthopedic injuries, acquired brain injuries, trauma, burns, neoplasms, and changes in immune system that impact occupational performance. Prerequisite: Successful completion of the previous semester; Corequisite: OTD 5353
