  • 5.00 Credits

    Prerequisites: All courses in physical therapy are restricted to students accepted into the program. The structure and function of the central nervous system (CNS) are presented in this foundational course in physical therapy. The relationships between the somatosensory system, spinal cord and brainstem reflexes and motor systems are presented. Students will also learn how the CNS develops and the consequences of malformations of the CNS during development. Clinical signs and symptoms of specific CNS pathology will be presented and related to patients with movement disorders that receive physical therapy services.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Prerequisites: All courses in physical therapy are restricted to students accepted into the program. This course provides the student with the opportunity to apply principles of neuroscience, anatomy and biomechanics to the control of sensation, posture and balance, motor control in disordered systems and motor learning. Students will learn to perform clinical sensory, reflex and cranial nerve examinations, electrophysiologic examinations, examinations of posture, balance, spasticity and rigidity. Students will also learn to apply selected physical therapy interventions directed at modulation of the sensory and motor systems.
  • 2.00 Credits
