  • DPT 722 - Therapeutic Interventions I


    Description:
    This course will focus on four primary areas of therapeutic interventions: Exercise Prescription, Biophysical Agents (modalities), Integumentary repair and protection, and Manual Techniques. Exercise prescription will introduce and address basic concepts in exercise science and principles of tissue repair, recovery, and strength using current literature. Biophysical agents will introduce the modalities used in the practice of physical therapy, including indications for use, safety considerations, and a critical review of the literature concerning efficacy. Integumentary repair and protection will address principles of tissue repair and protection commonly seen in physical therapy and health related fields, as well as specific interventions used by physical therapists to treat integumentary issues including debridement. Manual techniques will introduce soft tissue and joint mobilization principles and indications for their use in physical therapy. Each areas of focus will have associated lab experiences which will focus on development of therapeutic intervention skills through peer interaction, simulation experiences, instructor demonstrations and competency skills checks. In addition, there will be select activities on campus and in the community with adult clients representative of those seen in physical therapy practice.
