PHTH 773 - Patient Client Management: Upper Quarter (5)

This course focuses on managing adults with impairments in body structure/function related to upper extremity joints. The focus of this course will be physical therapy examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, interventions, and outcomes. In applying the patient-client management model students will learn to manage UE problems while also considering the relationship between spinal function (PHTH 771), lower extremity function (PHTH 772), and upper extremity impairments. Emphasis will also be placed on collaborating with community organizations educating other healthcare providers on wellness programs for back and UE joints. Offered: Summer.
