Description
Building on Neuroanatomy and Neuroscience, this course focuses on different neuro examination and treatment techniques. This course also covers the motor control systems and the structural and functional correlations among the major motor components of the brain. In particular, this course covers: theories, research, and principles of motor control and motor learning, the neural basis for control of posture, mobility, and hand and arm movements, cognitive and behavioral requisites for learning, and neuroplasticity. It also integrates the sensory components that influence motor systems. This course is also designed to provide the student with a basic understanding of the pathophysiology related to neuromuscular disorders with emphasis on treatment and clinical management. This course focuses on disorders related to brain, movement disorders, disorders related to the spinal cord and peripheral nervous system. Examples of these disorders include cerebrovascular accidents, traumatic brain
