Spring DPTE 525 Musculoskeletal II - SI Joint Treatments

The material presented in Musculoskeletal Block 2 will address orthopedic injuries and diseases affecting the spine, sacroiliac joints and hip. Learning experiences will be based on lectures, laboratory sessions, real and simulated patient cases, as a well as from small group discussions that focus on clinically relevant examination and management of persons throughout the lifespan. Upon completing this block the student should be able to critically examine, communicate, and document the information gathered during the initial examination and appropriately manage persons with orthopedic injuries and diseases. The design of the block incorporates suggestions from the Guide to Physical Therapist Practice. Weekly laboratory and seminar sessions will assist the student to understand the evidence supporting the concepts presented during the block and to integrate these concepts into independent practice.
