PT 794 Differential Diagnosis & Intervention IV: C-Spine*

5 credits
This course will focus on differential diagnosis and management of neck pain and related problems. The course uses cases to integrate foundational and clinical sciences across diverse areas (such as physiology, pathology, motor control, pharmacology, neuroscience, and imagining). Examination content will include classification systems for neck pain and vestibular disorders and the exam of patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Interventions will focus on manual therapy and various exercise approaches for the various pathologies. The relevant anatomy and biomechanics for this course is the cervical spine, and the temporo-mandibular joint, with a review of the vestibular system. We will discuss communication with patients experiencing chronic pain. Students will have many opportunities to apply the content in labs, class discussions, and simulations.
