PT 714 Structure & Function IV
This tutorial-based course will focus on the normal and pathological structure and function of the musculoskeletal (axial and appendicular) and genitourinary systems, including problems related to pregnancy, and dysfunction of the extremities, vertebral column, thoracic cage, and temporomandibular joint. The content of this course will build on the knowledge of the musculoskeletal, neurological, pulmonary, cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, and integumentary systems presented in the previous three semesters. The patient problems in this course will be inherently more complex and involve integration across multiple systems at the level of the whole person. The effect of such factors as normal development (growth and aging), environmental influences, pharmacological interventions, and psychosocial issues on the level of stress on and adaptation by tissues will also be studied.
