Become
a Physical Therapy Aide
Prepare for a rewarding career as a valued member of the
physical therapy team while learning all about the human
body, specific disorders, and the way physical therapists
treat these disorders. We'll begin by exploring the history
of physical therapy and the relationships between physical
therapists, physical therapist assistants, and physical
therapy aides. You'll get training on how to communicate
effectively with other health care professionals and
patients. You'll also come to understand the medical
documentation that physical therapists use and principles of
ethics and law that affect the PT aide. Physical therapists
often use words and terms that may be unfamiliar to you, so
we'll devote some time to learning much of the language of
PT. We'll then spend two lessons studying the body's 11
organ systems. You'll learn the names of the organs in each
system, their main functions, and some common disorders.
Health care professionals must take extra care to avoid the
spread of infection, so we'll go over that important
subject. Along with infection control, you'll learn proper
body mechanics and how to safely move patients. We'll also
cover the normal gait cycle, and you'll learn how to help
patients walk with assistive devices like walkers, crutches,
and canes. Physical therapists use physical agents like
heat, cold, ultrasound, and electricity to treat many of
their patients, so we'll explore these agents. You'll learn
when PTs use them and important precautions. We'll move on
to a discussion of exercise, and we'll spend a lesson
studying the principles of strengthening, aerobic, and
range-of-motion exercises. We'll close with a study of
balance and coordination disorders. You'll learn about the
vestibular system—an important mechanism that helps you keep
your balance. We'll also talk about treating children with
developmental coordination disorder and developmental
delays. By the time you finish this six-week course, you'll
have gained valuable knowledge and be well on your way to
becoming an important member of the physical therapy team!

Debt
Elimination Techniques That Work
If you are
like most people, you're drowning in a sea of debt and
looking for a lifeline. Well, this course is that lifeline.
You will not be pointed to debt consolidation in this
course. It just does not make sense to use more debt to
solve a debt problem. This course will teach you a specific
and workable strategy that will get you out of all
debt--including your mortgage--in the shortest possible
time. The strategy presented is not new, nor is it rocket
science. It is a simple, easy-to-understand method that just
flat out works. However, getting out of debt is only part of
the answer. You will also be guided down a new path
concerning spending, saving and handling money that will
keep you out of debt forever.
