Neuromuscular II

Catalog description

This course is the second part of the series in neurological rehabilitation in the Physical Therapy program. It builds on the foundational courses on Neurophysiology and Neuromuscular I, covering the pathology, medial management, and physical therapy interventions for a number of neurological conditions that are representative of the most common neurological diagnoses seen in clinical practice. In addition to mastering new treatment techniques and interventions, students will learn to apply the principles and skills learned in previous courses to diverse neurologically-impaired populations. The course emphasizes problem-solving using unfolding case studies to accompany most didactic topics. This course also exposes students to current advancements in science such as regenerative medicine, and benchwork scientific research related to the conditions studied and includes critical analysis of primary scientific literature. Prerequisite(s): PT 450 and PT 510 .
