Familiarizes the athletic training student with contemporary physical agent modalities, therapeutic interventions of acute injuries, appropriate physiology, indications, contraindications, uses, and methods of applications.

An in-depth study of the lower extremity, focuses on the development of clinical evaluation and assessment techniques.

An in-depth study of the upper extremity, focuses on the development of clinical evaluation and assessment techniques.

An introduction to critical decision making leading to clinical outcomes through evidence-based practice.

This course is designed to provide a structure opportunity for students to become knowledgeable in the analysis of osteokinematics and arthrokinematics. Upon completion, students will understand the indications, contraindications, and application of passive, active, resisted range of motion testing as it pertains to joint evaluation. An emphasis will be placed on clinical skills including palpation, reflex testing, manual muscle testing, goniometry, muscle length testing, distinguishing between healthy and dysfunctional joint range of motion, and gait evaluation as it pertains to Athletic Training. The student will participate in a clinical surgical observation rotation during this course. Prerequisite: BIO-111
