Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physical Therapy Exam Practice Tests
Course Introduction
This course explores the principles and practices of physical therapy in the management of cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions. Students will learn to assess, plan, and implement therapeutic interventions for patients with disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure, and post-surgical complications. Emphasis is placed on the application of evidence-based strategies for improving cardiopulmonary function, patient education, and promoting overall endurance and quality of life. Practical skills such as airway clearance techniques, exercise testing and prescription, and respiratory muscle training are integrated with clinical reasoning and multidisciplinary collaboration.
