This course will build upon the foundations learned in Therapeutic Interventions I by expanding on strategies for developing strength and aerobic conditioning along the spectrum of a person’s presentation. Modifications to an exercise program will be considered for children, adolescents, pregnancy, older adults, and other special conditions. The student will be exposed to commonly used exercise equipment. Special attention will be placed on outcome testing and training necessary to return a patient to sport or occupation, as well as therapist response to a medical emergency within the clinical setting.
