As homeowners know all too well, there is a continuous need for maintenance and repair. Some efforts are precautionary in nature, while others are the result of issues that surface over time.
Similarly, musculoskeletal disorders can develop over time. For some disorders, such as osteoporosis, precautionary treatments are a potential option. But much like issues that surface in a home over time, many musculoskeletal issues can be very serious concerns, and they can have a significant impact on patients’ lives.
Students will:
- Analyze processes related to neurological and musculoskeletal disorders.
- Identify racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.
- Evaluate the impact of patient characteristics on disorders and altered physiology .
