DPT 5302 THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION I
This course presents anatomical and physiological principles to allow students to develop integrated therapeutic exercise interventions. Students have the opportunity to develop an acquired understanding of physiological responses to various types of training and develop skills in prescription, implementation, and modeling of exercise programs. Exercise components of strength, aerobic/anaerobic conditioning, flexibility, balance and stage of healing/rehabilitation are examined. Evidence of appropriate, safe and effective exercise design and proper exercise biomechanics and prescription parameters are addressed with all interventions. Exercise considerations for special populations and across the age span are covered. Concepts are presented in lecture and practiced in the laboratory.
