PT 622 Examination & Documentation II
Using neurologically involved patients from tutorial-based cases, principles of examination and patient data collection are expanded to include interview issues with and clinical tests and measurement options and rationales for assessing attention, arousal, cognition, cranial nerve integrity, neuromotor development, reflex integrity, sensory integrity, and motor performance. Handling skills for the more involved patient will be included, as will implications of findings for referral to other healthcare practitioners. Students continue to examine how to use evidence in practice by developing an understanding of and ability to analyze and independently interpret the range of issues affecting statistical and clinical inference in a published research, including individual studies, systematic reviews, and clinical practice guidelines. Format: two 2.5-hour laboratories and two large-group discussions (75 minutes each) per week.
