PTR 627 - Evaluation and Intervention- Musculoskeletal System I This course prepares the student to evaluate and treat common disorders of the
musculoskeletal system. The patient management model, as presented in the Guide
to Physical Therapist Practice, will serve as a framework for course
content related to patient care. General examination methods presented in PTR
524 will be applied specifically to extremity joint function. The student will
conduct a comprehensive physical examination, including the case history,
review of systems, and assessment of impairments and functional limitations.
Emphasis will be placed on clinical decision-making and diagnostic process,
leading to the development of a plan of care and selection of evidence-based
interventions. Specific treatment interventions will be introduced, which will
include joint mobilization, muscle energy techniques, soft tissue mobilization,
therapeutic stretching and therapeutic exercise.
