PT 466A-II Therapeutic Exercise I
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.
