Learning Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: 1. Demonstrate competency in weight bearing transfers for patients requiring a range of assistance in the following situations: bed to/from wheelchair, bed positioning and repositioning, supine to/from sitting, sit to/from stand 2. Demonstrate competency in wheelchair locomotion, management and training for simulated patients requiring a range of assistance 3. Use principles of motor learning to effectively instruct patients in performing bed mobility, positioning, and transfers 4. Demonstrate competency in applying the selected biophysical agents to a person with a simulated musculoskeletal or neuromuscular impairment: a) compression devices, b) ice massage, c) ice pack, d) hot pack, e) ultrasound, f) electrical stimulation 5. Demonstrate competency in selected manual therapy techniques during a simulated case: a) passive range of motion, b) basic massage 6. Demonstrate competency in data collection during a simulated encounter: a) vital signs (HR, RR, O2 sat, BP), b) skin condition, c) appropriateness of fit for a standard wheelchair, d) assistance levels (e.g. level of supervision, percentage physical assist) 7. Demonstrate respect for the patient through appropriate verbal, non-verbal, and written workplace communication during simulated practice 8. Identify contextual factors that influence clinical decision-making during simulated practice 9. Demonstrate behaviors during simulated practice that reflect an emerging understanding of the PTA role in the physical therapy service, including: a) reviewing health records prior to initiating treatment, b) interviewing the patient for relevant information related to current and prior levels of function, c) identifying situations when selected interventions should not be performed based on the patient response, d) adjusting selected interventions based on the patient response, and e) assessing the patient response during the encounter 10. Complete accurate documentation of subjective and objective information and clinical outcomes during simulated practice applying selected interventions Required Materials: Technical Requirements: |
