PT 661 Movement System Foundations I: Motion

5 credits
This course will focus on movement system impairments associated with motion, namely, acute musculoskeletal injury. The course uses cases to integrate foundational and clinical sciences across diverse areas (such as physiology, pharmacology, pathology, epidemiology, neuroscience, imaging, etc.).  The examination content will include the introduction to differential diagnosis within a musculoskeletal exam. The intervention content will include methods to reduce inflammation and physical stress or load to the injured tissues.  The relevant anatomy for this course is the knee. The nervous system pathways for interpreting pain and other sensations will be introduced. We will discuss the physical therapist practice act, the collaborative model between patients and therapists, and begin to analyze reliability in PT measurements. Students will have many opportunities to apply the content in labs, class discussions, and simulations within the course.  We will synthesize content across courses in the case experience week.
