PTH 513 - Systems Screening I
Systems Screening is an overview of physiological systems, particularly as they relate to examination, assessment and treatment of the physical therapy patient or client. The course will begin with interviewing, taking a history, intake screening, and red flags which may indicate a systemic disorder. An examination of specific conditions will be introduced with a general examination of how the body responds to injuries and stressors, and the role of pharmacology in preventing, diagnosing, and treating pathological conditions. This introduction to systems screening will introduce an examination of how the body-responds to injury or stressors. Specific physiological systems in the body will then be examined, looking at the normal anatomy and physiology, examination and assessment of that system, recognizing common pathological conditions, understanding when physical therapy may affect the condition, and recognizing when a condition is outside the limits of physical therapy practice. Pharmacological agents used in the treatment of the conditions and how these agents may interact with physical therapy interventions will be reviewed. In Systems Screening I, the topics covered will be the fluid/ lymphatic systems, genetics, immunopathology, cancer, hematology, endocrinology, reproduction, pancreas and diabetes, gastrointestinal, hepatic, integumentary, and urinary.

This course focuses on contributions individuals make beyond their professional role. It will enable students to begin to internalize their role as a service-oriented citizen and healthcare professional. Students will explore the physical therapist’s role as a servant leader by actively engaging the APTA Core Values of altruism, compassion/caring, and social responsibility while providing culturally competent services. Beginning with a broad view of cultural competency and servant leadership, students will then narrow the scope to specifically discuss Issues related to either the social-political issues in a foreign country; or local societal Issues affecting the people of our region specific to the student’s chosen servant leadership project. Students will then collaborate with an agency In order to develop a proposal for a service learning project locally, regionally, or internationally that will take place later in the curriculum. Outcomes will be achieved through independent study and reading, group discussion, peer presentations, and self-reflection.
