This course is the first of two courses dealing with the physical therapy management of adult patients/clients with neurological dysfunction. Concepts, practical applications, and strategies based on theories of motor skill development, motor control, and motor learning will be discussed. A variety of neurological conditions with different levels of impairments, functional limitations and disabilities will be examined. Emphasis is on the development of clinical decision making skills using a problem solving approach. All physical therapy graduate courses (number 34.) are restricted to PT majors only.
