PTR 516 - Applied Neuroscience

Applied neuroscience takes the concepts and foundational knowledge of Neuroscience and applies these to the study of several common disorders of the central and peripheral nervous systems. The course focuses on understanding the location of a CNS lesion and the neurophysiological mechanisms of the underlying disease process. Clinical case scenarios will be used to demonstrate key concepts of symptom etiology, clinical presentation, and impairment-based test findings. Relationships between anatomy, neurophysiology, and clinical presentations are emphasized. This course introduces students to a neurological examination of a patient. Prerequisite: Successful completion of all prior required PT courses. Additional course fee required.
