ATHT 4700 - Therapeutic Interventions II - Writing Intensive

Hours: 3
A study of the physiological basis for application of modalities and basic therapeutic exercise in the treatment of (common) athletic injuries. Principles and application techniques of the therapeutic modalities including electrotherapy, ultrasound, laser, and diathermy will be studied and applied within the context of treatment strategies. In addition, theory and application of the concepts related to range of motion, manual therapy, proprioception, muscle strength and endurance will be presented and studied within the context of treatment strategies and planning for individual body segments. The student will also learn the necessary clinical skills associated with the didactic learning that is being taught in the classroom portion of the associated athletic training class. This course will also prepare students with regard to the process of evidence based medicine to the level of developing a clinically relevant question and appraising the literature. This will involve a writing intensive project that helps the students to prepare for their capstone research project.
