This course offers an in-depth exploration of advanced evaluation and intervention techniques for musculoskeletal and cardiopulmonary conditions commonly encountered in physical therapy practice. Emphasizing evidence-based approaches, students will refine their clinical reasoning skills through the integration of complex case studies, manual therapy concepts, therapeutic exercise prescription, and patient-centered management strategies. The curriculum addresses the pathophysiology, assessment, and treatment of acute and chronic dysfunctions in both systems, with particular focus on interdisciplinary collaboration and progression of care across various clinical settings.
