PT 411A Pathology/Medical Science: Musculoskeletal
This
course is focused on the study of regional, tissue specific and system specific
pathology and disease commonly encountered in patients/clients who receive
physical therapy in an orthopedic setting. Course content relative to the
process of tissue injury and repair, and mechanisms of systemic pathology
introduced in the General Systems Pathology course will be explored and
expanded upon. In addition to etiology, cellular, tissue, structural, and
systemic changes for each of the pathologies, the course will focus on clinical
presentation and prognosis. The course will emphasize physical therapy
intervention rationale and strategies for specific disorders/conditions/diseases
that directly necessitate physical therapy intervention, as well as for
pathologies that may be present in patients requiring physical therapy for
related or unrelated conditions.
