About Riphah Doctor of Physical Therapy Lab
The Riphah Doctor of Physical Therapy Lab provides structured, hands-on training that transforms theoretical learning into clinical competencies. Students practice musculoskeletal assessment, posture and gait analysis, manual therapy, and therapeutic exercise prescription under faculty supervision and defined SOPs. Emphasis is placed on patient safety, ethical practice, and accurate clinical documentation using standard assessment forms. Scheduled practicals cover joint mobilization, electrotherapy modalities, rehabilitation protocols, and safe handling techniques with simulated patients. Guided sessions help students build confidence in treatment planning, dosage progression, and evidence-based rehabilitation strategies. The lab environment fosters professionalism, teamwork, and reflective practice through role-play, peer learning, and case-based simulations. By combining structured pedagogy with supervised application, the lab prepares graduates for clinical internships, licensing exams, and entry-level professional roles in physical therapy and rehabilitation sciences.
