This course will build on the examination techniques and theories introduced in Neuromuscular I. Additional topics will include an extensive focus on intervention techniques and the development of a plan of care including functional training, compensation, home management and adaptation, community and leisure reintegration, appropriate transfer of service, and secondary and tertiary prevention. Additional diagnoses will be introduced and evidence will be explored for clinical decision making on appropriate intervention, prognosis, and termination of physical therapy services. Practical application of techniques and problem-solving situations for individuals throughout the lifespan will be provided in the laboratory sections and clinic to further illustrate clinical relevance.
