DPT 610 - Diagnosis and Intervention: Musculoskeletal Dysfunction II
This is the second course in the musculoskeletal curriculum. This course provides a detailed study of the examination, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with musculoskeletal disorders through the framework of multiple manual therapy theorists. Emphasis is placed on the vertebral column, TMJ, and SI joint as well as examination and treatment of functional movements in the upper and lower quadrant, which allows for integration of knowledge from the first course in the musculoskeletal curriculum. Manipulation is introduced as an intervention for spinal pathology. Students are exposed to special topics related to musculoskeletal disorders (i.e., instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization, dry needling, and caring for the injured worker). Consideration is taken to review appropriate management of the psychosocial aspects of patients with musculoskeletal disorders as well as relevant documentation.
Prerequisite(s): DPT 521 and DPT 522.
