DPT 5343 Clinical Practice III

Students learn through lecture, guided practice, literature reviews, case-based discussion, and treatment plan development, which are important skills for patient management in clinical practice. Examples of these skills include the selection and use of therapeutic modalities, mechanical/manual traction, the therapeutic use of passive, active-assisted, and manually resisted motion, and the design and implementation of therapeutic exercise programs. Emphasis is placed on integrating examination findings, current scientific evidence, and sound clinical reasoning to guide the use of therapeutic interventions for the prevention and rehabilitation of movement dysfunction and disability.
