DPT 6522 Neuromuscular Practice II
Learners continue to study the management of patients with neurologic health conditions. This course’s condition focus includes spinal cord injury, vestibular disorders, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, neuromuscular disorders, and central nervous system cancers. Emphasis is placed on utilizing the ICF model to examine the impairments in body structure and function, activity limitations, and participation restrictions that occur because of neurophysiological and patho-kinesiological mechanisms of neurological health conditions. Students are taught to integrate and apply motor control and motor learning, theoretical constructs, evidence-based practice, and the patient/client management model.
