Description
This course expands on the neuropathology and diagnosis-specific physical therapy management for individuals with common neurological conditions, including impairments of the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, cerebellum, spinal cord, and vestibular system; cortical deficits related to concussion; adult developmental disorders; and other rare neurologic health conditions. 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 the principles of evidence-based practice to inform safe and effective clinical reasoning and decision-making in the physical therapy care of diverse patient populations with these neurological conditions in a variety of practice settings.
