Interventions III: Advanced Techniques
Academic Credit

Physical therapists select interventions based on the complexity and severity of the clinical problems of their patients. The selection of interventions is based on examination findings, an evaluation, and a diagnosis that supports physical therapy intervention. This course will introduce the student to a set of advanced procedural interventions including but not limited to manual therapy techniques including mobilization and manipulation; prescription, application, and fabrication of devices and equipment used for assistive, adaptive, protective or supportive purposes; vestibular rehabilitation interventions (including canalith repositioning maneuvers, adaptation and habituation interventions); and treatment of muscle imbalance. This course will introduce these topics to the student and the ongoing development of student proficiency will continue to be assessed in future coursework.
