| PTA 242 presents the theory and application of therapeutic interventions as they relate to amputations, cardio pulmonary conditions, wounds, peripheral vascular disease, burns, lymphedema and Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) conditions. It reviews basic physiology, pathology and etiology of the named conditions. An overview of the most commonly seen surgical and nonsurgical interventions will be included. By using lab simulation and role playing of actual clinical situations the students will use information to think analytically, problem solve and modify treatment interventions. Isolation techniques, prosthetic and orthotic fitting will be practiced. An integrated approach to treatment will include material from all previous courses with an emphasis on therapeutic exercise. |
