PT 761 Movement System: Advanced Analysis & Intervention I

5 credits
This course describes advanced analysis of the movement system using gait and reaching tasks. The course uses cases to integrate foundational and clinical sciences across diverse areas (such as physiology, pathology, epidemiology, surgery).  The examination content will include kinematic and kinetic assessment of gait, assessment of patients with amputations, and assessment of patients after shoulder surgeries. The intervention content will include gait training, prosthetic management, and exercise progression after shoulder surgery. Shoulder anatomy and biomechanics will be reviewed. We will discuss decision-making for adaptive, supportive, and assistive devices considering various reimbursement mechanisms. Students will have many opportunities to apply the content in labs, class discussions, and simulations.
