PT 673 Integrated Patient Management III: Progressive Neurological Conditions

4 credits
This course will focus on progressive neurological conditions and associated movement system impairments including motor control and motion, such as ataxia, rigidity, bradykinesia and tremor. The course uses cases to integrate foundational and clinical sciences across diverse areas (such as physiology, pathology, neuroscience and psychology).  The examination content will include distinguishing among various motor control impairments and posture and balance deficits. The intervention content will include mobility training, aerobic, flexibility, strength and balance training and patient education. The relevant anatomy for this course is the neuroanatomy of the basal ganglia and cerebellum.  Biomechanical content will focus on gait and posture. The course will begin to interpret the literature with regard to systematic reviews and regression analyses and highlight various issues related to aging and dementia. Students will have many opportunities to apply the content in labs, class discussions, and simulations.
