Course Objectives
At the conclusion of this class, students will be able to: 1. Determine and apply appropriate medical classification systems (ICD), current procedural terminology (CPT codes), and current medical terminology during all documentation and healthcare provider interactions. 2. Use evidence-based medicine when developing a plan of care that includes therapeutic interventions. 3. Identify and implement appropriate safety techniques during therapeutic interventions. 4. Identify implications of various underlying pathologies and use this knowledge to select appropriate therapeutic interventions. 5. Describe the body's physiological responses during and following the application of therapeutic modalities. 6. Explain the application principles of compression in the treatment of non-life-threatening pathologies. 7. Describe the terminology, principles, electrophysics, biophysics, set-up, indications, contraindications, and specific physiological effects associated with the application of electromyogram (EMG), biofeedback, and electrical stimulation devices and waveforms. 8. Demonstrate the ability to select the appropriate modality and treatment parameters for pain control, edema reduction, improved neuromuscular control, muscle re-education, atrophy prevention, muscle spasm reduction, and wound healing. 9. Select and apply therapeutic modalities according to manufacturer guidelines, state and federal regulations, the best available evidence, and accepted treatment parameters to meet treatment objectives of pain modulation, tissue repair, and improved function. 10. Describe and implement the principles, progressions, application, and importance of rehabilitation components as they apply to a care plan. 11. Demonstrate techniques to improve range of motion, joint mobilizations, flexibility, strength, power, muscular endurance, proprioception, and cardiovascular endurance.
