PT 643 | Therapeutic Exercise II

This course is designed to build on understanding and competencies developed in PT 642. In addition to regional coverage of the upper spine and extremities, this course further refines the use of movement evaluation, to include screening examinations for application in a variety of injury prevention and performance settings. Other topics covered include: evaluation and treatment of running-related impairments, exercise management of pelvic impairments, exercise using aquatic environments, and movement-based therapies from other disciplines. Finally, students will work in small groups to plan and execute a community-based intervention designed to serve population health needs, with emphasis on either evaluation and treatment of movement quality, or promotion of physical activity.
