PT 631 Evaluation & Intervention I

This course involves the self-directed acquisition of knowledge related to evaluating and treating musculoskeletal disorders. The purpose of the laboratory experiences and large group discussions are to integrate and apply the knowledge attained in PT 611-Structure and Function I and PT 621-Examinationand Documentation I with the information attained in PT 631. Students will learn various interventions used to address impairments in structure and function identified during the examination process while considering environmental and personal factors that may hinder the patient’s ability to recover. In addition, students will be introduced to a plan of care as a documented means of professional communication. The plan of care documents impairments in body structure and function identified during the examination process to establish patient-directed goals. The patient-directed goals are used to select interventions to address impairments related to the activity limitations that cause participation restrictions for the patient.
