- Course Description: The study and practice of skills and techniques essential for the evaluation of orthopaedic injuries. Students will learn to formulate an impression of the injury/condition in order to provide the basis for an initial treatment plan and medical referral.
- Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: Needed for program/concentration/certificate change
- What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? This course is part of the core coursework for the proposed Master’s Degree in Athletic Training. The profession of Athletic Training is following other allied health professions and heading toward the entry point being at the graduate level. This is a proactive step in that direction, and will put USF at the forefront of Athletic Training education. There will be significant demand for the program, in that as of this point, there is no avenue for students that have obtained a bachelor’s degree in another discipline to challenge the National Board of Certification exam for Athletic Training. Presently, there is only one other institution in Florida (FIU) with an entry -level graduate Athletic Training Program.
- Has this course been offered as Selected Topics/Experimental Topics course? If yes, how many times? No
- What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) Certified Athletic Trainer, MD, PhD, or equivalent.
- Objectives: Physical Examination II: Head, Spine and Upper Extremity
➢ Identify and palpate bony landmarks & soft tissue structures of the face, head, spine and upper extremity.
➢ Apply appropriate stress tests for ligamentous or capsular stability, and provocative tests for fractures and soft tissue and muscle injuries.
➢ Demonstrate the ability to perform various special tests for the head, spine, and upper extremity and describe the rationale for the selection of various tests.
➢ Describe and perform diagnostic tests to evaluate neurological function of cranial nerves and of spinal nerves, and peripheral nerves (primarily through the use of myotomes, dermatomes, and reflexes) of the upper extremity.
➢ Assess circulatory status along the upper extremity.
➢ Identify the etiological factors, mechanisms of injury, and signs and symptoms of sport-related injuries to head, spine and upper extremity.

- Assignments, Exams and Tests: Written Examinations:
These examinations are intended to assess the student's awareness and understanding of the concepts covered in the course. Items on these examinations will be derived from the textbook, lectures, research papers and discussions. The content of each examination will usually mirror the content of the unit most recently studied. Examination methodology may include multiple choice, diagrams and short answer/essay questions.
Assignments, Quizzes and Skill Testing Sessions:
Various assignments/quizzes will be given throughout the term. Assignments can be either individual or group projects. The specific information for each assignment and the due date will be given in class and may include: worksheets, injury scenarios, SOAP notes and lab assignments.
Skill testing sessions will likely be held after each joint has been covered. These sessions are intended to assess the student’s ability to perform the skills associated with assessment of injuries to the upper extremity, head and neck.
- Attendance Policy: Course Attendance at First Class Meeting – Policy for Graduate Students: For structured courses, 6000 and above, the College/Campus Dean will set the first-day class attendance requirement.
