PT 775 Integrated Patient Management V: Non-progression Neurologic Conditions*

5 credits
This course will focus on the management of patients with non-progressive neurologic conditions, with a focus on spinal cord injury. The course uses cases to integrate foundational and clinical sciences across diverse areas (such as physiology, pathology, epidemiology, and neuroscience). The examination content will include determining evaluating changes in strength, sensation and systemic changes related to injuries of the spinal cord and assessing the need for assistance in functional mobility and balance. The intervention content will include mobility training, equipment and assistive technology, patient/family education and functional electrical stimulation. The relevant anatomy and biomechanics for this course includes systemic changes to the muscle, bones, joints, blood supply and neural innervation.  We will highlight attitudes and perceptions related to the disability process, insurance considerations for rehabilitation, laws and policies related to accessibility, and review literature related to recovery following neurologic injury. Students will have many opportunities to apply the content in labs, class discussions, and patient experiences.
