Neurological Physical Therapy Laboratory I

This laboratory course must be taken concurrently with Neurological Physical Therapy I, 34.617. Emphasis is on the development of problem solving and psychomotor skills necessary for successful management of the patient/client with neurological dysfunction. Videotapes and patient demonstrations are used to develop skills in examination, evaluation, and clinical decision making. Peer practice is used to promote the development of psychomotor skills in advanced therapeutic exercise and functional training. Problem solving in the application of interventions for different levels of impairments, functional limitations, and disabilities is stressed. All physical therapy graduate courses (number 34.) are restricted to PT majors only.
