ATTR 335  Musculoskeletal Injury Assessment  3 Credit Hour(s)  

Prerequisite: ATTR 330 and ATTR 331

This course will provide students with the foundational knowledge required to determine signs and symptoms of pathologies. Pathologies taught will include common musculoskeletal injuries (e.g. sprain, strain, fracture, and instability). The principles taught in this course will include: 1) recognizing similarities and differences across pathologies, 2) history taking skills, 3) inspection and palpation skills 4) goniometry of joints and 5) identify muscle weakness.

Offered: Resident

ATTR 336  Musculoskeletal Injury Assessment Laboratory  1 Credit Hour(s)  

Prerequisite: ATTR 330 and ATTR 331

This course will provide students with the opportunity to practice the "hands-on" skills that are required to perform a musculoskeletal screening. The principles taught in this course will include the following: 1) how to assess the history of an injury, 2) how to perform postural and gait assessments in healthy individuals 3) palpation during a musculoskeletal screening, 4) measurements of passive range of motion (PROM) and active range of motion (AROM) with a goniometer and 5) Determine muscle weakness that leads to movement dysfunction.

Offered: Resident

ATTR 406  Corrective Exercises and Rehabilitation Theory  3 Credit Hour(s)  

Prerequisite: ATTR 335 and ATTR 336

This course will teach students how to: 1) identify movement compensations through static posture and dynamic movement assessments and 2) utilize exercises to correct movement compensations. Students will learn the principles used to rehabilitate musculoskeletal injuries, as well as physiological and psychological factors affecting the rehabilitation process.
