DPT 6221 Movement Science
This course introduces the foundation concepts of motor control, motor development and motor learning. Functional anatomy and biomechanical concepts are reinforced through analysis of simple and complex movements, including typical and atypical gait. Learners will be introduced to movement analysis constructs and learn to apply the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) model. Integration of theory, movement analysis, and use of the ICF model is emphasized to inform clinical decision making in physical therapist practice.
