PT 862 Movement System: Advanced Analysis & Intervention II*

5 credits
This course will focus on movement system impairments associated with longstanding neuromuscular disorders across the lifespan. The course uses cases to integrate foundational and clinical sciences across diverse areas (such as neuroscience, biomechanics, physiology and neural development). The examination content will include determining neural, biomechanical and physiologic contributors to impaired functional movements such as gait, balance and arm-hand actions. The intervention content will include building capacity, prevent and correct deformities, promote functional mobility and augmenting self-efficacy and motivation for community participation. The relevant anatomy and biomechanics for this course is the foot-ankle-knee interactions for application of orthotics.  We will highlight various opportunities and challenges for community integration for individuals with longstanding neuromuscular disorders. Students will have many opportunities to apply the content in labs, class discussions, and simulations.
