PTR 660 - Neuromuscular Management II

This course utilizes the patient/client management model to address the needs of individuals from birth through young adulthood with neuromuscular disorders. Principles of human development are presented, as well as the impact of neuromuscular disorders on the developing system. The unique features of settings in which children and young adults receive physical therapy are also considered in the topics of evaluation and intervention. Specific theoretical models of neurorehabilitation (e.g. motor control, motor learning) for individuals throughout the lifespan are considered and implemented through a clinical workshop approach.
