400 Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences—Department of Physical Therapy PHT 6820L—Musculoskeletal II Lab This course emphasizes the psychomotor and affective skills required when providing the musculoskeletal interventions and tests addressed in PHT 6820. Students will acquire the psychomotor skills needed to manage and prevent disorders of the musculoskeletal system by addressing relevant practice patterns as they relate to the upper/lower quarter, ICD-10 codes, examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, and interventions related to these patterns. Corequisite: PHT 6820 (2 credits) PHT 6821—Musculoskeletal III PHT 6821 (lecture) is an evidence-based approach to the management of musculoskeletal disorders of the spine. Students will acquire the requisite skills necessary to examine, manage, and prevent musculoskeletal impairments; functional limitations; and disabilities of the spine. The course will address lumbar, thoracic, costal, cervical, sacroiliac, pelvis, temporomandibular, and headache disorders. Students are prepared for entry-level patient/client management including the ability to perform an examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, and the ability to select optimum interventions. Moreover, students will acquire the knowledge necessary to accurately disseminate information (verbal and written/ documented) related to the examination and management of spine disorders to patients and clients and across the broad range of health care disciplines. Case studies are utilized in conjunction with lecture and interactive teaching and learning to assist students in integrating the didactic knowledge into simulated and real life scenarios. (2 credits) PHT 6821L—Musculoskeletal III Lab PHT 6821L (lab) will emphasize the psychomotor and affective skills required when providing the associated musculoskeletal examination and interventions addressed in PHT 6821, Musculoskeletal III. Students are instructed and mentored in the selection and application of tests, measurements, and physical therapy interventions. Case studies are utilized in conjunction with interactive teaching and learning to assist students in integrating the techniques into simulated and real-life scenarios relevant to the musculoskeletal system. Corequisite: PHT 6821 (2 credits) PHT 6824—Clinical Practicum II This is a clinical education course utilizing a self-contained, collaborative, clinical education model where students are directly supervised in the clinic by academic faculty members. Students concurrently practice examination/evaluation and treatment skills learned in the curriculum in outpatient settings, including servicing underserved and/or underinsured adults. In partial fulfillment of this course, students will select and complete service-learning activities that have been preidentified by faculty members to supplement classroom and clinical education experiences. Service-learning experiences will provide students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge and clinical skills to benefit the local community with follow-up reflection on the impact of their service. (3 credits) PHT 6827—Motor Control/Learning Students will acquire the foundational knowledge underlying human motor control and motor learning. Emphasis will be placed on understanding principles of motor learning and applications to the physical therapy management of people with movement dysfunction. Students will perform basic neurological testing/assessments, which measure the impact of neurological impairments on functional ability. (2 credits) PHT 6829—Practice Management This course prepares students for the practice management demands of contemporary physical therapy practice essential to being successful, responsive, and adaptable to the evolving needs of the healthcare industry. Students are introduced to the business perspective of healthcare service delivery, including leadership and managerial skills related to direct patient care and organizational operations. Topics covered include the continuum of care; regulatory and reimbursement mechanisms; coding; billing; documentation; compliance; the Triple Aim, interprofessional, collaborative practice; leadership; management; ethical practice; quality improvement; health informatics; risk management; marketing; and public relations. (2 credits) PHT 6830—Neuromuscular I Neuromuscular Systems I addresses the examination and treatment of adults with neuromuscular disorders. Students apply knowledge from Neuroanatomy and Neuroscience to the clinical management of patients with neurological conditions. Neuromuscular Systems I provides the foundational concepts and clinical reasoning for choosing tests and measures used during PT examination of the neurological patient, including sensory and motor tests; examination of motor function, motor learning, and coordination; cranial nerves; functional mobility; self-care and activities of daily living; community function; arousal, attention, and cognition; and balance, gait, and disease-specific tests. The foundational concepts for procedural interventions related to neurorehabilitation will be addressed. These include indications, precautions, and contraindications, as well as evidence-based recommendations for therapeutic exercise; balance and gait retraining; manual techniques and facilitation; electric stimulation; mobility training; upper extremity reach, grasp, and manipulation training; positioning, supportive, and protective devices; wheelchairs; and community re-entry. Prerequisites: ANA 5423 and PHT 6816 (3 credits)
