OTD 6522 Applied Physiology II

This course assists students with bridging the gap between basic anatomy, physiology, and disease processes that affect the older adult population. Students will be expected to complete pre-work assignments to prepare for review (1-hour lecture) and application of material (2-hour lab). Case studies will be used to guide students in the application of knowledge to clinical presentation. Course content will be reinforced through OTD 6553 and will assist students with the appropriate selection of assessments and interventions with the older adult population. Areas of concentration may include stroke, cognitive impairments, degenerative diseases, fall-related injuries, vascular changes with aging, and pulmonary changes.
