DPT 6350 Therapeutic Interventions
Lecture: 3 Lab: 2 Practica: 0 Total Credits: 5
This course provides an overview of the biomechanical principles as applied to neuromusculoskeletal form and function, movement analysis, and therapeutic interventions. Students learn the fundamentals of clinical decision-making and treatment planning based on tissue healing, functional abilities, patient goals, and behaviors. Fundamental principles and application of biophysical agents, manual therapy, soft tissue mobilization, and aquatic therapy are also introduced for the management of patients with pain, strength, and mobility impairments. Critical appraisal of current evidence is used to examine the physical and physiological effects of these interventions. The appropriate selection of these interventions is instructed based on patient indications and contraindications/precautions, and desired treatment effects. Clinical strategies to effectively teach, progress, and motivate patients are discussed to improve patient performance and compliance with treatment programs.
