4 Hour(s)

General Medicine II covers physiology, pathology, evaluation, assessment, and treatment intervention for patients with a variety of medical conditions relevant to physical therapy. Specific evaluation and treatment interventions with respect to wound care and prosthetics will be discussed. The course structure is based on a review of pertinent physiologic systems, common pathologies, and comprehensive treatment of the involved patient. Instruments, tests, screens, and evaluations to detect impairments, activity limitations and participation restrictions, and therapeutic interventions used in the treatment of these disorders are investigated. Students must apply basic knowledge and patient management skills developed during earlier courses in the program.
