This course is the second of a three-course series which focuses on physical therapy management of musculoskeletal dysfunction. Treatment of the ankle and foot will be included as a continuation of the first course. The evaluation, treatment and prevention of pathological conditions affecting the upper extremity will be emphasized. Normal function will be included as a basis for recognizing and therapeutically resolving dysfunction of skeletal and joint structures, muscular and soft tissues. A problem-solving approach to resolve impairments, which contribute to functional limitations and disabilities, will be stressed. All physical therapy graduate courses (number 34.) are restricted to PT majors only.
