DPTH 702 Neuromuscular Rehabilitation

This course focuses on neuromuscular evaluation elements, examination procedures and interpretation of evidenced-based measurement tools and test batteries commonly used by the physical therapist for assessment and intervention for adults with neurological dysfunction. The patient/client management and International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) models provide the framework for this course. Learners apply assessment skills and evidence-based interventional strategies within the context of specific neurologic impairments and diagnoses to develop, implement and assess a holistic plan of care. Laboratory activities emphasize a patient-oriented approach and provide meaningful exposure and continued mastery of selected interventions that are indicated when treating persons with neurological conditions.
