At the completion of this course the student should be able to:
Follow protocol for the following conditions/situations:
AC-36e-exertional sickling associated with sickle cell trait
EBP-10-Determine the effectiveness and efficacy of an athletic training intervention utilizing evidence-based practice concepts.
EBP-13-Understand the methods of assessing patient status and progress (eg, global rating of change, minimal clinically important difference, minimal detectable difference) with clinical outcomes assessments.
TI-1-Describe and differentiate the physiological and pathophysiological responses to inflammatory and non-inflammatory conditions and the influence of these responses on the design, implementation, and progression of a therapeutic intervention.
TI-2-Compare and contrast contemporary theories of pain perception and pain modulation.
TI-3-Differentiate between palliative and primary pain-control interventions.
TI-4-Analyze the impact of immobilization, inactivity, and mobilization on the body systems (e.g., cardiovascular, pulmonary, musculoskeletal) and injury response.
TI-5-Compare and contrast the variations in the physiological response to injury and healing across the lifespan.
TI-7-Identify patient- and clinician-oriented outcomes measures commonly used to recommend activity level, make return to play decisions, and maximize patient outcomes and progress in the treatment plan.
TI-8-Explain the theory and principles relating to expected physiological response(s) during and following therapeutic interventions.
TI-10-Integrate self-treatment into the intervention when appropriate, including instructing the patient regarding self-treatment plans.
TI-11-Design therapeutic interventions to meet specified treatment goals.
TI-11a-Assess the patient to identify indications, contraindications, and precautions applicable to the intended intervention.
TI-11b-Position and prepare the patient for various therapeutic interventions.
TI-11c-Describe the expected effects and potential adverse reactions to the patient.
TI-11d-Instruct the patient how to correctly perform rehabilitative exercises.
TI-11e-Apply the intervention, using parameters appropriate to the intended outcome.
TI-11f-Reassess the patient to determine the immediate impact of the intervention.
TI-12-Use the results of on-going clinical examinations to determine when a therapeutic intervention should be progressed, regressed or discontinued.
TI-13-Describe the relationship between the application of therapeutic modalities and the incorporation of active and passive exercise and/or manual therapies, including, therapeutic massage, myofascial techniques, and muscle energy techniques.
TI-14-Describe the use of joint mobilization in pain reduction and restoration of joint mobility.
TI-19-Identify manufacturer, institutional, state, and/or federal standards that influence approval, operation, inspection, maintenance and safe application of therapeutic modalities and rehabilitation equipment.
TI-20-Inspect therapeutic equipment and the treatment environment for potential safety hazards.
Standard 73-Select and incorporate interventions (for pre-op patients, post-op patients, and patients with nonsurgical conditions) that align with the care plan. Interventions include (but are not limited to) the following:
•Therapeutic and corrective exercise
•Joint mobilization and manipulation
•Soft tissue techniques
•Movement training (including gait training)
•Motor control/proprioceptive activities
•Task-specific functional training
•Therapeutic modalities
