Building on the principles of evaluation including all elements of the ICF and the patient/client management model introduced in PTHEG 1574, this course introduces students to evidence-based evaluation methods for pathologies of the lumbar spine, pelvis, and lower extremities. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological medical management of lower quadrant musculoskeletal disorders will be covered. Students will continue to refine their ability to perform a subjective examination, propose a hypothesis, and conduct a physical examination of persons with musculoskeletal disorders of the lower quadrant.
