ATHLTR 2807 - THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS 1


Minimum Credits: 4
Maximum Credits: 4
The instruction and participation of this 4-credit course aim are to educate the student on intervention strategies for pre-operative, post-operative, and non-operative healthcare conditions. Students will develop the ability to implement an evidence-based care plan to address physical and social determinants of health needs through the introduction of therapeutic modalities and therapeutic exercise intervention for the lower extremity. The development of these skills will optimize the student’s ability to critically think and apply skills to address a patient’s or client’s individual healthcare needs through prescription, administering, and assessment of therapeutic interventions. Topics in this course include but are not limited to tissue healing, pain control theory, lower extremity rehabilitation exercise, and foundations of therapeutic modalities. A combination of learning strategies from individual and group activities will allow students to establish and refine a clinical practice philosophy for injury/illness rehabilitation and prevention for the lower extremity.
