PT 466A Therapeutic Exercise
Prescribing
therapeutic exercise is within the domain of the physical therapist and
utilized in all practice settings to help achieve treatment goals. A well
prescribed exercise addresses mobility, stability, motor control, and whole
movement patterns while considering isolated impairments. Exercise of this
nature engages both the sensory and motor systems and is thus integrated into
improved functional movement.
Prescribing
effective therapeutic exercise is integral to becoming a competent clinician
and poses a challenge to the student physical therapist. The purpose of this
course is to assist the student in learning how to effectively prescribe
therapeutic exercise using a clinical reasoning model and to develop a base
level of knowledge and thought process from which to build more advanced skills
in the future.
