Health Science (HS)
An examination of theory, research, and application of psychological principles related to sport and exercise.
Taping, bracing, spine boarding, airway and oxygen administration, and other advanced emergency and practical care techniques used in athletic training. (PR: program admissions; CR: HS 522)
To develop evaluation and treatment skills of the student under the direction of a BOC-certified Athletic Trainer. Requires completion of clinical hours and assigned competencies.
Orthopedic evaluation techniques of the neck and upper extremity for the athletic trainer.
Orthopedic evaluation techniques of the lower extremity for the athletic trainer.
Students will develop computer programming skills by designing and writing code to process and analyze the biomechanical data they collect. Students will transfer the functions they write to various applications.
Students in this course will be instructed in therapeutic modalities used in the initial stages of injury, and therapeutic exercise rehabilitation of the lower extremity and lumbar spine. Special emphasis is given to the decision making processes involved with modality and exercise selection and parameter adjustment based upon patient pathologic responses and desired patient outcomes.
Students in this course will be instructed in electrical stimulation modalities and therapeutic exercise rehabilitation of the upper extremity and cervical spine. Post surgical rehabilitation for both upper and lower extremities and the spine will be incorporated. Special emphasis is given to the decision making processes involved with modality and exercise selection and parameter adjustment based upon patient pathologic responses and desired patient outcomes.

An investigation into normal and abnormal human movement patterns in sport, the workplace, and in activities of daily living.
The purpose of the course is to provide an advanced study of biomechanical concepts and their application to human movement and sport skills.
This course offers "hands-on" work within the biomechanics lab. The student will assist with current research. This experience that allows students to gain practical experience within a lab setting.
The purpose of this course is to expose the student to the research process as it pertains to the field of biomechanics. This course is intended to continue the process started in HS 575.
Pre-req: HS 575.
This course will investigate current trends in administration and organization in the field of athletic training. Focus will be placed on current state/federal practice laws and the financial management of running an athletic training clinic.
An advance investigation into Newtonian mechanics and their application in their uses human movement analysis.
Pre-req: HS 566 with a minimum grade of C.
This course entails a study of kinematics as it relates to the analysis of human movement involving the mechanical and anatomical characteristics of physical skills through the utilization of research equipment.
Emphasis on the development of skills in recognition of symptoms of illness, injuries and proper procedures of medical care.
An in-depth understanding of therapeutic modalities with an emphasis on evidence based literature.
A course designed to use scientific literature to enhance students preparation and knowledge of athletic training.
Students will gain knowledge regarding biomechanics technologies to measure kinetics, acquire the skills to investigate forces and the human body, and learn how to process, analyze, and interpret kinetic data.
A study of common general medical conditions and illnesses of physically active individuals and the proper methods of evaluating these complaints.
An indepth study of common problems and complaints of athletes and the proper method of evaluating those complaints.
To continue developing athletic training evaluation and treatment skills under the direction of a BOC-certified athletic trainer and/or other qualified allied health professionals. (PR: grade of B or higher in HS 525 and 225 clinical hours)
Pre-req: HS 525 with a minimum grade of C.
Training in the diagnosis of injuries in athletics. The student will be expected to participate in diagnosis techniques under the supervision of a trainer.
Professional aspects of trainer-doctor and doctor-athlete relations will be taught and exploration of how to professionally handle injuries and cooperate with physicians.
This course allows the student to participate in advanced training and certification courses such as the Functional Movement Screening, Performance Enhancement Specialist, and others that may be offered each year.
Practical experince in a clinical setting.
This course will provide supervised practical experience in the area of sports science. Students will be provided with the opportunity to apply their knowledge of sports science, performance, and testing/monitoring in an athletic setting.
To investigate current trends with regard to evidence based practice, current practice position statements, and current research methods being utilized in athletic training.
This course involves supervised development of a one-semester scholarly, entrepreneurial or administrative project that synthesizes the student's educational and clinical experiences obtained while matriculating through the PMSAT program.
Pre-req: HS 655 with a minimum grade of C.
