PT 692 Differential Diagnosis & Intervention – Extremity II 5 credits This course will focus on differential diagnosis after an acute lower extremity musculoskeletal injury, management from injury or surgery and progression back to participation. The course uses cases to integrate foundational and clinical sciences across diverse areas (such as histology, pathology, medical management and neuroscience). The examination content will include differential diagnosis after acute lower extremity injury and determination of neuromuscular impairments and the need for dynamic stability retraining. The intervention content will include strategies to address neuromuscular impairments (such as neuromuscular electrical stimulation, perturbation training and plyometrics) and progression of treatments to ready the patient for return to participation. The relevant anatomy and biomechanics for this course is a review of hip, knee and ankle anatomy and biomechanics. We will highlight outpatient billing, reimbursement practices and billing ethics and introduce students to psychometric properties of outcome measures. Students will have many opportunities to apply the content in labs, class discussions, and simulations.
