Application of Motor Control and Motor Learning Theory to Neurologic Interventions

Catalog description

In this course, students examine current research and theories in motor control and motor learning and their relationship to examination and intervention in individuals with neurologic dysfunction. Students will examine neuroanatomical structures, functions, and neuroplasticity of the nervous system as they relate to motor control tasks. Specific motor control issues in balance, gait, and upper extremity will be examined and discussed. Students will identify and explain the influence of impairments on motor dysfunction and an individual’s functional motor control.
