RHAB 246 - Health Conditions 1

Description
In this course, the benefits of rehabilitation intervention are examined by focusing on a variety of health conditions commonly treated by rehabilitation, including soft tissue injuries, bone and joint problems, strokes, to pain syndromes. Using case studies, learners research these health conditions and identify how impairment in body function and structure can limit and restrict a client’s ability to perform simple tasks or participate in everyday activities. The emphasis is on understanding medical, surgical, and rehabilitation management of these conditions, and applying that knowledge to optimize client outcomes within the parameters of the occupational therapist assistant and physical therapist assistant roles.
