DPT 616 Biomechanics and Management of Musculoskeletal Dysfunction I
Biomechanics of posture and gait addressed. Biomechanics and patient/client management of musculoskeletal dysfunction will be approached regionally and sequenced proximal to distal during the progression of three courses. Content includes joint mechanics and functional anatomy (arthrokinematic and osteokinematic motion), common pathologies/dysfunctions and management of those problems to include patient/client history, documentation, systems review, tests and measures, diagnosis, prognosis, and intervention. Diagnostic imaging and pharmacology integrated into three courses. An analysis of total body movement, as well as, individual joints is utilized to assist understanding of biomechanics and orthopedic management.
Unsatisfactory course grade - No Remediation, Must Repeat Course in Cycle. WILL NOT CONTINUE IN THE CURRICULUM. Will delay DPT 700 Clinical Practicum I. WILL DELAY GRADUATION from the program.
