Description

This course provides the learner with the foundational clinical knowledge and skills necessary for the physical therapy management of individuals with neuromuscular conditions, including those that result in deficits of the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, cerebellum, and demyelination of the central and peripheral nervous systems. The Physical Therapist Management Process from the Guide to Physical Therapy Practice and the International Classification of Function, Disability, and Health (ICF) Framework are integrated with task analysisand the principles of neuroplasticity to inform safe, effective, and evidence-based clinical reasoning and decision-making in the physical therapy care of diverse patient populations with these neurological conditions in a variety of practice settings.
