Description

This course will provide the clinical application of previously learned knowledge with regards to the neural control of walking and the recovery of walking. Students will develop manual facilitation techniques to deliver locomotor training with partial body weight support on a treadmill to adults with various neurologic health conditions. Students will also engage patients in over ground gait training and become proficient in performing outcome measures to show change in response to the locomotor training.
