PT 663 Movement System Foundations III: Energy

5 credits
This course will focus on movement system impairments associated with energy production, namely, deconditioning. The course uses cases to integrate foundational and clinical sciences across diverse areas (such as physiology, histology, pathology, epidemiology, neuroscience). The examination content will include determining the extent of deconditioning and the need for assistance in functional mobility and balance. The intervention content will include aerobic exercise, mobility training, and patient education. The relevant anatomy and biomechanics for this course is the heart, lung, thoracic wall and related bones, joints, blood supply and neural innervation.  We will highlight various health care delivery systems, begin to interpret the literature with regard to clinical trials and effect size, and introduce students to healthcare ethics. Students will have many opportunities to apply the content in labs, class discussions, and simulations within the course.
