Description
This course will integrate the theory and practice of examination of physical therapy patients with a musculoskeletal diagnosis. Through the use of a "Mock Clinic," the student will learn and practice history taking during patient interview, as well as practice tests and measurements through the 18 steps of a musculoskeletal examination. This course will build upon examination techniques learned in Skills & Procedures, Therapeutic Exercise I and Musculoskeletal I, as well as applying the information instructed in Anatomy, Biomechanics, Pathology, Massage, and Physical Modalities. From the information gathered in the interview and physical examination, the student will exercise diagnostic skills, practice prognostic and intervention prescribing skills, and document impairment lists, long-term and short-term goals, and intervention plans.
