Technology Enhanced Learning / Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation
“We began using PhysioU for the PTA program last year, and the students have taken to it very quickly. I use it for muscle palpation, goniometry, MMT, gait training, cardiopulmonary interventions, special tests, and evidence-based practice, to name some topics. It is an efficient way to provide information to replace multiple textbooks (goniometry, basic patient care skills), which is so important for PTA students, who often struggle with financial resources. PhysioU truly made my job easier by providing reliable information in one location.”

Patient/Client Management/Screening
7D16: Determine when patients/clients need further examination or consultation by a physical therapist or referral to another health care professional.
Examination, Evaluation, and Diagnosis
7D17 Obtain a history and relevant information from the patient/client and from other sources as needed.
7D18 Perform systems review.
7D19 Select, and competently administer tests and measures appropriate to the patient’s age, diagnosis and health status including, but not limited to, those that assess:
f. Self-Care and Civic, Community, Domestic, Education, Social and Work Life
h. Environmental Factors
i. Gait
k. Joint Integrity and Mobility
n. Motor Function
o. Muscle Performance (including Strength, Power, Endurance, and Length)
t. Reflex Integrity
u. Sensory Integrity
v. Skeletal Integrity
7D20 Evaluate data from the examination (history, health record, systems review, and tests and measures) to make clinical judgments.
7D21 Use the International Classification of Function (ICF) to describe a patient's/client’s impairments, activity and participation limitations.
7D22 Determine a diagnosis that guides future patient/client management.
Prognosis and Plan of Care
7D23 Determine patient/client goals and expected outcomes within available resources (including applicable payment sources) and specify expected length of time to achieve the goals and outcomes.
Intervention
7D27 Competently perform physical therapy interventions to achieve patient/client goals and outcomes. Interventions include:
d. Functional Training in Self-Care and in Domestic, Education, Work, Community, Social, and Civic Life
