Movement Science V - Neuroscience & Motor Control

Catalog description

This course is the fifth and final in the Movement Science series and investigates the functional anatomy and physiology of the human nervous system and the pathophysiology of nervous system disease and injury as well as recovery and repair. Anatomical structures and function, including motor and sensory systems and higher cognitive regions are discussed and correlated with clinical neurologic dysfunction. Particular focus is on those structure/functions of greatest importance to physical therapy. Principles and theories of motor control and motor learning are integrated with nervous system function.
