This course presents clinical decision-making conceptual frameworks to guide the evaluation and management of patients with neurologic conditions. Pathology, medical management, and physical therapy evaluation and treatment of patients with stroke, vestibular, and Parkinson’s Disease will be presented. Movement analysis strategies and motor learning principles will be applied to assess movement dysfunction, and intervention strategies to address impairments will be introduced. Students will learn to develop an evidence-informed, patient-specific plan of care, apply learned treatment techniques, and document neurological examination and treatments in a manner suitable for the medical record. |
