This course is the second of two courses dealing with physical therapy management of adult patients 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 differing 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. Practice is offered in the development of appropriate plans of care. Concurrent laboratory sessions emphasize the development of assessment and intervention skills. All physical therapy graduate courses (number 34.) are restricted to PT majors only.
