This is a 3-hour course that introduces students to elements of joint structure and function. The student learns basic biomechanics, and begins to develop palpation skills needed to practice physical therapy.
This is a 3-hour course that introduces students to multivariate statistic techniques with a particular emphasis on the practical application and interpretation of multivariate procedures.
This is a 3-hour course that introduces students to issues of critical thinking, examination strategies, and basic clinical measurement skills.
Physical Agents in Rehabilitation
This is a 4-hour laboratory course in which students are introduced to the theoretical foundations for the applications of thermal and electrophysiological agents used in physical therapy practice. The students also gain proficiency in the application of these physical agents in case based laboratory sessions.
This is a 4-hour laboratory course in which students are introduced to
fundamentals of bioinstrumentation. There is a particular emphasis on
how 1) real world events (e.g. force, pressure, temperature) are converted
into voltages through the use of transducers 2) the voltages are converted
into digital signals, and 3) the processing of these signals. Additionally,
they will cover all aspects of measuring human bioelectrical potentials.
