This course is designed to provide students with an introduction to the integrated application of therapeutic exercise, motor function training, physical agents, and manual therapy techniques to minimize future risk, improve recovery and return to activity outcomes, and enhance performance for patients engaged in physical activity. The primary objective of this course is to provide students with the concepts and skills of rehabilitation needed to develop, optimize, and administer effective evidence-based plans of care for patients. While specific pathologic rehabilitations will be discussed, the intention is for students to be able to manipulate the basic variables and concepts to create patient-oriented rehabilitation protocols of their own design.
