This course is designed to study and analyze human movement, in a regional format, relevant to the physical therapy practice. More spe- cifically, the course encompasses biomechanics, anatomy, and neuro- muscular physiology. Additionally, students are provided with the opportunity to analyze motor performance as it is encountered in physical therapy practice. Analysis of forces and laws of physics shall be applied to knowledge of motion, posture and gait. The use of clinical cases assists in fostering the clinical application of knowledge to physical therapy practice. This course is complemented by the lab based course PT 546.
The goal of this course is for the student to develop an advanced un- derstanding of the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of the normal human brain with a focus on the specific needs of the physical ther- apy student. Special attention is paid to the interaction between structure and function in the nervous system. An emphasis is placed on sensory and motor systems that may be damaged by disease or in- jury. Functional deficits and the potential for recovery, for specific neurological disorders, are addressed through case presentations.
Presents the cardiovascular and respiratory responses and adaptations to exercises in health and diseases. Emphasis is on muscular physiology, metabolism, cardiovascular and pulmonary adaptations, aging, ther- moregulation, strengthening, training, exercise prescription, and well- ness as it relates to physical therapy. Article abstracting assignments and lab reports provide opportunities for students to develop their writing skills and the ability to critique literature.
An in-depth study of the human body, with emphasis on neuromus- culoskeletal systems. Structural interrelationships shall be examined as the basis for human movement and as a means to understand abnor- malities in structure and function. Directed laboratory experiences are focused on cadaver dissection. Learning is facilitated through textbooks, anatomical models, and audiovisual material. The case- based format fosters clinical application of knowledge to physical therapy practice.
