This course is designed to provide students with an introduction to the integrated application of therapeutic exercise; motor function training; physical agents; and manual therapy techniques to minimize future risk; improve recovery and return to activity outcomes; and enhance performance for patients engaged in physical activity. The primary objective of this course is to provide students with the concepts and skills of rehabilitation needed to develop; optimize; and administer effective evidence-based plans of care for patients. While specific pathologic rehabilitations will be discussed; the intention is for students to be able to manipulate the basic variables and concepts to create patient-oriented rehabilitation protocols of their own design.
