Description
This course expands on previous knowledge learned in the Neuromuscular 1 course taught in Trimester 3. Emphasis of this course is on learning treatment techniques for the resulting impairments and disabilities of the patient with neurologic injury. Emphasis will be placed on contemporary models of motor control, task analysis, and skill acquisition. Within this framework, specific treatment approaches including Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT), Motor Relearning Program, and the Task Oriented approaches will be taught. Management of the patient with spinal cord injury will also be a focus of this course.
