DPTE 723 - Neuroanatomy

(3 hours) Prerequisites: Successful completion of previous Summer term, Year I, CSU PT classes. This course is designed to prepare the physical therapy student to apply basic neuroanatomy and neurophysiology principles to patient populations. Emphasis placed on the structural and functional organization of the central and peripheral nervous system. From this understanding, connections between neural structures that form the sensory, motor and homeostatic systems are discussed to generate human movement. Clinical correlations relevant to the practice of physical therapy are applied. Note: This course cannot be challenged.
