This introductory course emphasises quantitative measurements. The treatment of measurement errors, and graphical analysis. A variety of experimental techniques should be employed. The experiments include studies of meters, the oscilloscope, mechanical systems, electrical and mechanical resonant systems. Light. Heat. Viscosity and many others, covered in PHY 101 and PHY 102. However, emphasis should be placed on the basic physical techniques for observation, measurements, data collection, analysis and deduction.

This practical course is a continuation of PHY 107 and is intended to be taught during the second semester of the 100 level to cover the practical aspect of the theoretical courses that have been covered with emphasis on quantitative measurements. The treatment of measurement errors, and graphical analysis. However, emphasis should be placed on the basic physical techniques for observation, measurements, data collection, analysis and deduction. 200 Level

Overview of the principles of radio-density with respect to human tissues. Contrast methods. Effect of projection angle. Correct viewing methods. Fracture assessment and perception of radiographic assessment of the axial and appendicular skeleton. MRI, CT, and contrast imaging of the neuromuscular, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular/pulmonary systems, with an emphasis on weighing radiological test results when formulating differential diagnoses for patients/clients across the lifespan. The role of functional MRI and PET scans in research.

Hands-on assessment, treatment planning, and client intervention. Learning to be part of the therapy team and professionally interacting with clients and healthcare providers. Translation of professional behaviour, observation skills, performance skills, and clinical application of knowledge into a clinical setting.

Hands-on skills in assessment, treatment planning, and client intervention. Translation of students’ professional behaviour, observation skills, performance skills, and clinical application of their knowledge into a clinical setting;
