This course is a continuation of PTH 534A and designed to prepare students to manage dysfunctions that involve more than one system and patients with multiple dysfunctions. Applying evidence-based principles physical therapy diagnoses, prognoses, interventions, and expected outcomes will be determined based on pathology, etiology, and disease progression, and modified as appropriate to accommodate changes in patient condition or to adjust for age, race, or gender. This course introduces students to the unique aspects of the critical care environment, and will include medical equipment, effects of prolonged hospitalization, and the physical therapist’s role in multidisciplinary care. Prerequisite: Successful completion of prior coursework.
