Course Description

Musculoskeletal conditions are typically seen by the Physical Therapist in the outpatient setting. In this module students will demonstrate mastery of their anatomical knowledge, and analyze the pathology, physiology, biomechanics, genetical, and environmental influences on the musculoskeletal system. Students will use diagnostic imaging and modalities to assist in their treatments and will learn the manual skills for interventions including key areas of acute and chronic pain. Students will also develop the skills and knowledge to work with patients with vestibular, lymphatic, and pelvic health conditions, all of which are part of the outpatient setting. Students will further develop their skills for patients across the lifespan with conditions that have transitioned through the acute and rehabilitation settings. Students will continue to focus on skills needed to be the master adaptive learner and skilled physical therapist.
