Transfers ToCSUDescriptionAccepted For Credit: CSU Offered: Fall Semester, Every Year This course is designed to teach students the necessary skills for physical therapy patient care and to build on the skills and knowledge learned in PTA-301. These skills include active, passive, and resistive exercise programs; continued practice in application of thermal-based modalities; gait and transfer training. Students will collect and interpret clinical data and practice testing for strength, balance, and coordination. Students are expected to adjust patient treatment plans based on the test results and to communicate these to the clinical instructor for the purpose of modifying treatment plans. Students are required to complete a clinical in-service. Students will also learn about the clinical environment as it relates to patient referral patterns, time management, staff utilization, and clinical marketing. Laboratory experiences may include opportunities to practice in more than one setting, as designed by the instructor. (CR)
