PT 715 - Topics In Movement Sciences


Description: These courses are an in-depth study of the integration of the foundational sciences to inform physical therapist practice (i.e., clinical anatomy, neuroscience, biomechanics, exercise physiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic imaging, pharmacology). The series will emphasize evidence informed practice, and learners will appraise the applicability and quality of information to guide their clinical reasoning processes. The learners further their study of the movement system as a foundation for physical therapist practice, relating foundational information to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) framework and patient management. Clinical application of the foundational sciences is emphasized throughout the series, with a focus on the assessment and management of movement system impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. Letter grade only. May be repeated for credit.
