PT 511 - Patient/Client Management 2 - Musculoskeletal 1

(3 credits)
This course will study common musculoskeletal pathologies, and the response of the musculoskeletal system to disease, exercise, and medical and surgical management.  Radiographic evaluation of musculoskeletal disorders, including fractures, dislocations, joint and bone disorders will be presented.  Emphasis will be placed on understanding the impact of various musculoskeletal pathologies on movement dysfunction.  This course will also explore the clinical decision making process required of autonomous practitioners and prepare participants to recognize signs and symptoms suggestive of non-musculoskeletal pathology which may require referral to other medical providers.  Spring.
