| HLTH 203 presents the basic principles and clinical application of therapeutic exercise and the body's response to exercise in both normal and pathological states. It will introduce the concepts of passive, assisted and active range of motion, isometric, concentric, eccentric, progressive resisted exercise, neuromuscular facilitation/inhibition and isokinetic exercise. Indications and contraindiction to exercise in the fitness and wellness settings, acute, sub acute and chronic stages of healing will be included. Use of lab simulation and role playing of actual clinical situations will develop the student's ability to problem solve, think analytically and modify exercise programs as they relate to the conditions presented and the observed physiologic responses. The use of appropriate communication skills, the ability to progress exercise programs and follow the treatment plans will be stressed. |
