PT 611 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION I   6.0 Credit(s)
This tutorial-based course covers the structure and function of the normal and impaired musculoskeletal system. Normal anatomy and biomechanics are examined in the context of patient cases with common musculoskeletal problems to understand the tissue and organ stressors (including environmental interaction, aging, and disease processes) that result in physiological responses that may then lead to or exacerbate pathology, impairment, or dysfunction. Format: two three-hour tutorials and two large-group discussions (75 minutes each), plus one two-hour laboratory per week.
Offered: As Needed Contact Department

HR 636 HR LAW   3.0 Credit(s)
This course examines the legal relationship between an employer and an employee in the business environment.

Topics include contract law, antidiscrimination law (Title VII, ADA, ADEA, and related EEOC procedure), family and medical leave law, workers compensation law, wage and hour statutes, collective bargaining, and union organizing. The objective of this course is to offer the student the necessary familiarity with prevailing workplace legal issues to enable the student to help recognize and prevent potential liability and efficiently work with legal counsel. Special attention is given to how these issues are dealt with as companies expand globally.
Offered: Late Spring Semester All Years

PT 621 EXAMINATION AND DOCUMENTATION   4.0 Credit(s)
This course presents conceptual models for clinical decision-making and expert practice for patients presenting with musculoskeletal dysfunction. Students are introduced to psychosocial, psychomotor, and communication aspects of interacting with patients and their families. Using tutorial based cases, basic concepts in patient data collection from the patient interview to clinical tests and measurements of the musculoskeletal system are presented, including assessment of range of motion, joint integrity and mobility, pain, basic muscle performance, posture, body mechanics, and observational gait analysis. Students are introduced to the concepts of evidence-based practice, with emphasis on principles necessary to understanding patient impairment, functional outcome and disability data, measurement characteristics of and rationale for choices among available tests and measures, and strengths and limitations of using data to draw conclusions about individual patients or patient groups. Parameters of patient documentation as a data management tool and form of professional communication are initiated. Format: two 2.5-hour laboratories and one large-group discussion (75 minutes) per week.
Offered: As Needed Contact Department

PT 631 EVALUATION AND INTERVENTION I   5.0 Credit(s)
This course involves the self-directed acquisition of knowledge related to evaluating and treating musculoskeletal disorders. The purpose of the laboratory experiences and large group discussions are to integrate and apply the knowledge attained in PT 611-Structure and Function I and PT 621-Examinationand Documentation I with the information attained in PT 631. Students will learn various interventions used to address impairments in structure and function identified during the examination process while considering environmental and personal factors that may hinder the patient's ability to recover. In addition, students will be introduced to a plan of care as a documented means of professional communication. The plan of care documents impairments in body structure and function identified during the examination process to establish patient-directed goals. The patient-directed goals are used to select interventions to address impairments related to the activity limitations that cause participation restrictions for the patient.
Offered: Fall Semester All Years

SLP 691 COUNSELING COMM DISORDERS   1.0 Credit(s)
This course will introduce students to principles and practices in counseling clients with communication disorders and their famiies. The course will address behavioral, humanistic, and existential models of counseling; considerations when addressing spouces, parents, and other family members, issues related to cultural diversity and the role of counseling in the practice of Speech-Language Pathology.
Offered: As Needed Contact Department

CS 680 CYBERSECURITY PRACTICUM   3.0 Credit(s)

A final summary report will be required from both student and supervisor.
Offered: Late Spring & Summer Semesters All Years

PT 612 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION II   6.0 Credit(s)
This tutorial-based course covers the structure and function of the normal and impaired neurological system. Anatomy of the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems are examined in the context of patient cases with common neurological pathology to understand the interactive effects of normal, pathological, developmental, or age-related and environmental influences on movement, perception, cognition, and social development (including motor planning, motor control, and motor learning). Students will explore the following aspects of neuropathology that may impair the movement system (etiology, clinical manifestation, diagnostic testing, medical management, and prognosis).
Offered: Spring Semester Contact Department

PT 622 EXAMINATION AND DOCUMENTATION   5.0 Credit(s)
Using patients with neurological conditions from tutorial cases, principles of examination and patient data collection will be expanded to include interview strategies and clinical tests and measurement options for assessing: attention, arousal, cognition, cranial nerve integrity, neuromotor development and status, reflex integrity, sensory integrity and motor performance. Handling skills for standardized patient examination will be included, as well as the interpretation of findings and their implications for referral to other health care practitioners. Students will practice the use of evidence-based practice by analyzing and interpreting the available published psychometric properties of assessment tools available to physical therapy practice with patients with neurological conditions.
