PT 919 - Pathophysiology

(3)

The primary goal of this course is to prepare you to recognize the impact of primary systemic diseases on your patients, and how the presence of these disease states will affect your clinical decision-making. We will review the underlying pathology and clinical manifestations of the more common disorders of each system, and discuss their relevance during physical therapy evaluation and intervention. The role of the PT in risk factor reduction and prevention of disease will also be addressed.
