PT 795 Differential Diagnosis & Intervention V: Pain*
5 credits
This course will focus on movement system impairments associated with differential diagnosis between various types of pain including neuropathic pain, nociceptive pain, nociplastic pain, and psychosocial aspects of pain. The course uses cases to integrate foundational and clinical sciences across diverse areas (such as anatomy, biomechanics, physiology, pathology, neuroscience, and pain science). The examination content will focus on differential diagnosis of individuals with the various types of pain including an introduction to electrodiagnostic testing and interpreting those results. The intervention content will include methods to address the various types of pain, such as neural mobilization, strengthening, and education. The relevant anatomy and biomechanics content for this course is the wrist and hand. We will discuss the components of occupational health including functional capacity exams, work hardening programs, and ergonomic evaluations. We will discuss billing for services rendered including diagnostic and procedure coding. Students will interact with other disciplines and have many opportunities to apply the content in labs, class discussions, and simulations.
