PT 664 Movement System Foundations IV: Motor Control
5 credits
This course will focus on movement system impairments associated with disordered motor control early after brain injury. The course uses cases to integrate foundational and clinical sciences across diverse areas (such as neuroanatomy, histology, neuroscience, motor learning). The examination content will include assessment of general sensory-motor integrity, movement analyses for functional mobility tasks, and the use of standardized measures of functional capacity. The intervention content will include promotion of muscle activation and functional mobility training with appropriate guarding. The relevant anatomy for this course is brain, brainstem, spinal cord, meninges and blood supply. We will highlight the integrative role of PT in acute care clinical settings and continue to interpret the literature with regard to clinical trials and effect size. Students will have many opportunities to apply the content in labs, class discussions, and patient experiences
