Description
This course introduces documentation of physical therapy treatment, data collection, range of motion and stretching principles for musculoskeletal impairments. It provides an opportunity for students to apply the principles of data collection, range of motion and stretching to demonstrate competency of skill. Documentation opportunities are integrated throughout the laboratory experiences to allow students to practice through case studies. The medical terminology portion of this course is a hybrid course in a synchronous and asynchronous format (didactic portion as distance education, pronunciation is virtual with ZOOM/TEAMS one on one student/instructor meetings) that will assist the physical therapist assistant student in developing an understanding and pronunciation of medical terminology.
