A review of scar biology and abnormal scar development, with a focus on those scars that may pose barriers to function, is included in this course. Information on conservative care provided by PTs, including scar assessment, intervention, and outcomes measurements will also be provided. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.
