PTH543A Neurological Clinical Management II

This course is the second within a series of two neurological courses specific to PT management of patients with neurological deficits. It is a direct extension of PTH 540A (Neuro Clinical Management I), continuing with diagnoses along the neural axis, progressing from the central nervous system and moving to more of a focus on peripheral nervous system dysfunction. Students will continue to develop skills in examination, evaluation, and interventions for individuals with movement dysfunction due to neurological deficits. Emphasis will be placed on synthesis of information gathered from use of the ICF to develop an appropriate plan of care for each condition covered. Students will continue to utilize current evidence to inform their decisions. Prerequisite: Successful completion of prior coursework.
