PHTH 746 PT Continuum of Care II: Rehab and Home Health

This is the second of three continuum of care courses. This course focuses on rehab and home health physical therapy settings. This course continues to use the 4 planned case studies in the areas of stroke, below knee amputation, spina bifida and total knee replacement to compare and contrast possible client/patient progression and recovery. Students learn about the transition between settings, associated client/patient changes, setting-specific assessment and treatment techniques, interprofessional collaboration, discharge strategies and related documentation. Students receive training in billing, managerial skills, and public relations.
