PT6241: Movement and Pathokinesiology

Provides an experiential bridge between foundational clinical courses and applied content area courses to aid in the development of comprehensive movement system examination and evaluation skills. Learners will solidify didactic integrative knowledge of the human movement system and its component elements through applied, real-world activities and clinical simulations. Growth in holistic clinical reasoning is fostered through exploratory practice and identification of the connections between 1) qualitative and quantitative movement examination, 2) analysis and diagnosis of movement system dysfunction, and 3) basic hypothesis generation of multi-system physical impairments/pathology and abnormal movement patterns/postures as contributing factors to movement system dysfunction. Oral and written communication of movement system examination and evaluation findings will enhance learner development of education and documentation skills. prereq: Registered PT student
