PHTH 216 - Measures and Interventions for Clinical Problems III

(TP/SS only)

Third course in the three-course sequence that integrates clinical tests and measures with clinical interventions for common problems encountered in physical therapy care. This course includes tests, measures, and interventions for problems of the neuromuscular systems. Measures of arousal, mentation, cognition, balance, and motor control are discussed along with the theories and practice of therapeutic exercise interventions for patients with neuromuscular problems across the lifespan from pediatric to geriatric conditions. PREREQUISITE(S): PHTH 101, PHTH 102, PHTH 103, PHTH 104, PHTH 105, PHTH 106, PHTH 112, PHTH 113, PHTH 114, PHTH 116, PHTH 201,PHTH 204, PHTH 205, PHTH 206, and PHTH 223. COREQUISITE(S): PHTH 215, PHTH 220, and PHTH 224. One hour lecture, two hours laboratory each week.

2 semester hours
