PT 671 Integrated Patient Management I: Acute Musculoskeletal Injury 5 credits This course describes comprehensive patient management following fracture. The course uses cases to integrate foundational and clinical sciences across diverse areas (such as physiology, pathology, gerontology, histology). The examination content is focused on comprehensive assessment of patients after upper and lower extremity fractures. The intervention content will include joint mobilization, exercise progression across the continuum of care, functional progression in activity and function, thermal and non-thermal physical agents and electrical stimulation for pain relief. The relevant anatomy and biomechanics for this course are the elbow and wrist. We will discuss motivational strategies, the biopsychosocial model of pain, and appraising intervention research literature. Students will have many opportunities to apply the content in labs, class discussions, and simulations.
