DPTE 733 - Neuromuscular I

(4 hours) Prerequisites: Successful completion of previous Fall term, Year I, CSU PT classes. Didactic: Application and integration of knowledge acquired in neuroscience and motor control, learning, and planning as well as of neuroplasticity. This content is synthesized to determine how pathophysiology contributes to subsequent impairment resulting in movement dysfunction in acquired brain injury diagnoses predominantly seen throughout the lifespan that are not chronic or degenerative in nature. Application (Laboratory Component): Evaluation, treatment, and management of adults with neurologic impairment using a systems approach to include motor development theory, task analysis and evidence-based practice as foundations for developing proficiency in executing evaluation, treatment and management of impairments. Therapeutic interventions applicable to the treatment of neurologic diagnoses are introduced. Note: This course cannot be challenged.
