PHT 6204 - Functional Analysis and Management of Hour: 2the Lumbo-Pelvic-Hip Complex (S4)This is an online course that explores the physical therapist’s role in the evaluation and treatment of thelumbo-pelvic-hip system. The latest research in the biomechanics of the pelvic girdle is presented aswell as a biomechanical and neurophysiological approach to the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex. Thediscussion of patient examination has an evidenced based focus. Topic areas include: functionalanatomy, biomechanics of the sacroiliac and pubic joints, selected pathologies and dysfunctions. Clinicalevaluation and treatment methods are demonstrated through the use of video clips. Prerequisites arecompletion of PHT 6201 and the CPE seminar, “Functional Analysis and Management of the Lumbo-Pelvic-Hip Complex (S4),” offered by the University.PHT 6211E – Extremity Evaluation (E2) Hours: 2Based on the E2 Extremity Integration Seminar, this online course for the DPT Program extends thecontent of the seminar to the application and analysis level of learning of peripheral and spinal joint andsoft tissue integration for examination, evaluation and intervention. Clinical decision-making strategiesand tactics, based on principles of clinical management, are strengthened through the use of selectedreadings for this course. Prerequisites are completion of PHT 5134 and the CPE Seminar “ExtremityIntegration (E2)” offered by the University.PHT 6211 - Extremity Integration (E2) Hours: 2Based on the E2 Extremity Integration Seminar, this online course for the DPT program extends thecontent of the seminar to the application and analysis level of learning of peripheral and spinal joint andsoft tissue integration for examination, evaluation and intervention. Clinical decision making strategiesand tactics, based on principles of clinical management, are strengthened through the use of selectedreadings required for this course and application to patient cases. Prerequisites are completion of HSC6210 and the CPE seminar, “Extremity Integration (E2),” offered by the University.PHT 6220E – Myofascial Manipulation (MF1) Hours: 2This course deals with the evaluation and treatment techniques of myofascial manipulation. Theemphasis is placed on the relationship of the soft tissue structures to the mechanics of the spine.Principles of functional anatomy, posture, soft tissue anatomy, both normal and pathological,biomechanics of soft tissue, and treatment principles are presented. A prerequisite is completion of theCPE seminar “Myofascial Manipulation (MF1)” offered by the University.PHT 6220 - Myofascial Manipulation (MF1) Hours: 2This course deals with the evaluation and treatment techniques of myofascial manipulation. Theemphasis is placed on the relationship of the soft tissue structures to the mechanics of the extremities andspine. Principles of functional anatomy, posture, soft tissue anatomy, both normal and pathological,biomechanics of soft tissue, and treatment principles are presented. A prerequisite is completion of theCPE seminar, “Myofascial Manipulation (MF1)” offered by the University.PHT 6250 - Preparation/Certification in Manual Therapy Hours: 3A six-day lecture and lab review course is conducted at the University of St. Augustine campus coveringeach of the prerequisite courses of basic sciences, spinal and extremity joint evaluation and treatment,and soft tissue manipulation. The instructors also present an update on information as needed. On thefifth day, a three-hour multiple-choice examination is conducted. On the sixth day each student receivesfour to five twenty-minute oral/practical examinations to test retention, comprehension, and appliedskills. A seventh day may be added for those late registrants the University could not examine on the115
