Neuromuscular I

Catalog description

Through dynamic lectures, demonstration videos, cases, active learning assignments and in-person labs, students relate neuroanatomy and neurophysiology to existing knowledge on normal human movement, development, and function. Using patient cases across the lifespan, students explore the impact of peripheral and central nervous system disorders on motor control and function and on neuromotor development. Related diagnostic testing, imaging, and pharmacological/ surgical management are discussed. Students engage in movement analysis of patients with a variety of neurologic disorders to hypothesize underlying impairments, activity restrictions and participation restrictions across the lifespan.
