PT 656 Neuromuscular Tissues and Motor Control
(2 credits)
This course reviews the basic structure and function of various tissues within the neuromusculoskeletal system. These will include muscle, nerve and various connective tissues such as tendon, ligament, cartilage and bone. Using the Physical Stress Theory as a guiding model, the effects of altered patterns of use, common pathologies, and common interventions will be discussed for each tissue. The neural control of multi-joint limb movement will be discussed using current literature on motor control, cognition and motor learning including discussion of the relevance of the research on clinical practice. Traditional and contemporary theories will be contrasted to assist in developing direct intervention strategies using skill acquisition theories. Emphasis will be placed on reading and applying current basic science literature to justify and guide the practice of physical therapy.
