AT 776 - ADVANCED EVALUATION AND RE-INTEGRATION TO ACTIVITY FOR THE POST- REHABILITATION MUSCULOSKELETAL PATIENT

College of Health Sciences

Credits: 3

This is a 3 hour course designed for health care professionals that require advanced training in the design, implementation and evaluation of transitional or sport-specific rehabilitation protocols to initiate reintegration of the injured athlete to full participation. The first half of the course will utilize a combination of lectures and laboratory experiences to provide foundational concepts for exercise prescription, dose, and progression specific to the patient’s sport, injury and functional capacity. Using a problem-based learning approach, the second half of the course will focus on active, small group discussions of clinically relevant problems (case studies) and self-directed learning to provide context and motivate learning. Through carefully designed problems, this course will expose students to commonly encountered patient cases to help athletic training residents acquire a comprehensive and integrated knowledge base, and to develop an evidence based, clinical reasoning model for late stage rehabilitation and return to play decisions.

Prerequisite(s):
Prereq: Student will be enrolled in Graduate Certificate program in Musculoskeletal Injury Management or by instructor permission. Student will possess or be pursuing a clinical degree in a health related field. Have previously passed a human anatomy course, equivalent to ANA 209 at the University of Kentucky.
