Physical Therapy and Athletic Training
Athletic Training Practicum I
SAR AT 205
AT students only or consent of AT program director. Initial exposure to the role and skills of an athletic trainer. Includes certification in CPR. 1 cr.
Physical Therapy Examination
SAR PT 515
Prereq: SAR HS 581. Coreq: SAR PT 520. Designed to teach the process of examination by physical therapists. Selected measurement tools used for examination of individuals in order to establish a physical therapy diagnosis are taught. A Systems Approach to examination is introduced and models of disablement are used to guide the process. The course is taught in conjunction with SAR PT 520, Functional Anatomy and directly applies content learned in that course. Note: This course starts one week prior to the official start of Summer 2. DPT students only. Students must register for two sections: lecture and lab. 4 cr.
Functional Anatomy
SAR PT 520
Prereq: SAR HS 581. Designed to develop an understanding of human musculoskeletal function, the course presents the principles of biomechanics, muscle physiology, and joint structure that govern normal function. These principles are applied in examination of the joints of the upper extremity, lower extremity, and spine, as well as in the study of posture and gait. While emphasis is on normal function, the foundation is laid for understanding deviations from the normal that lead to pathological function. Note: This course starts one week before the official start of Summer 2. Students must register for two sections: lecture and discussion. 4 cr.
