Admission into the Physical Therapist Assistant program.
PTAT 1720Therapeutic Exercise for the Physical Therapist Assistant4
Students explore the theory, principles, and implementation of therapeutic exercise programs for a variety of patient populations. In addition, they apply specific strategies for stretching (sustained hold, contract/relax, strain/counterstrain), strengthening (isometrics, isotonics, open/closed chain, resistive exercises, weight training, aquatics), and balance and coordination activities. Students also examine theories of motor control and motor learning, and implement these theories into clinical practice. Lab activities will involve therapeutic exercise programs set up, joint mobilizations, and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) techniques and implementation in the clinical setting.Course Fees: $20.00
PTAT 1740Cardiac Rehabilitation for the Physical Therapist Assistant2
Students explore an in-depth description of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation and develop skills to implement cardiac protocols, assess and monitor common cardiopulmonary conditions, identify cardiac precautions for a variety of patient populations, and perform postural drainage techniques. Students design fitness and wellness programs for healthy and diseased individuals.
PTAT 1800Neurology for the Physical Therapist Assistant3
Students examine multiple pathologies of the nervous system including stroke, demyelinating diseases, spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s Disease, cerebral palsy, and traumatic brain injuries (TBI). In addition, students contrast normal structures and function of the nervous system, including motor control centers of the brain and spinal tracts, to a nervous system with specific impairments. Students develop skills to assess, treat, and manage the neurologically impaired patient based on clinical signs and symptoms of neurological disorders.CourseFees: $150.00
PTAT 1820Orthopedics for the Physical Therapist Assistant4
Students identify and assess common orthopedic conditions and analyze findings to implement intervention strategies and develop comprehensive treatment plans under the direction and supervision of a physical therapist.

Students learn to progress physical therapy plans of care for a variety of orthopedic and postsurgical conditions.Course Fees: $20.00
PTAT 1840Specialty Rehabilitation for the Physical Therapist Assistant1
Students explore an in-depth overview of specialty areas of physical therapy practice including burns, chronic pain, geriatrics, lymphedema, pediatrics, vestibular rehabilitation, women’s health, and wound care. Students utilize assessment tools specific to these areas of specialty to develop intervention strategies for improvements in function and to minimize disability.
This course provides students with selected experiences to provide practical clinical experience under the direct supervision of a physical therapist/physical therapist assistant and instruction of LCCC’s clinical coordinator. The clinical experience gives students the opportunity to correlate didactic course work with clinical skills. Students are required to complete a minimum of 280-hour clinical rotation at an affiliate site that provides physical therapy services.Course Fees: $150.00
