PHT 5403C - Orthopedic Physical Therapy II

Hours: 4

This course provides the learner with the foundational clinical knowledge and skills necessary for the physical therapy management of individuals of diverse patient/client populations with musculoskeletal conditions (both surgical and non-surgical) of lumbopelvic spine, hip, knee, ankle, and foot in a variety of practice settings. The Physical Therapist Management Process from the Guide to Physical Therapy Practice and the International Classification of Function, Disability, and Health (ICF) Framework are integrated with the principles of evidence-based practice to inform safe and effective clinical reasoning and decision-making. Learners refine their ability to differentially diagnose, screen for conditions that may warrant a referral to other healthcare practitioners, and provide effective orthopedic care through case-based applications.
