MOTOR DONTROL DYSFUNCTION : EXAMINATION, DIAGNOSIS, AND MANAGEMENT I

PHYTHER 628

Addresses the mechanics and control of the neuromuscular and skeletal systems as they relate to human movement. Neural control of movement is discussed in detail with specific emphasis on theories underlying recruitment of muscle in health and disease.

PHYTHER 676

Provides the physical therapy student with the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor knowledge for effective examination, evaluation, diagnosis and management of patients/clients of all ages with various musculoskeletal dysfunctions related specifically to the spine.

PHYTHER 636

Application of motor control and motor learning principles to the examination, diagnosis, and management of people with movement disorders from spinal cord injuries, PNS dysfunction and progressive disorders of the CNS.

KINES 713

In-depth look at anatomic, neurophysiological, behavioral, and clinical aspects of motor control under normal and pathological conditions. Movement disorders include sensory neuropathy, cerebral cortical or brain stem stroke, basal ganglia dysfunction, and cerebellar disease.

KINES 531

Intermediate course on neuronal circuits and neurophysiological mechanisms involved in the control of human motor behavior. Including discussion of: 1) sensorimotor integration, 2) interactions between spinal, brainstem, and cerebral cortical levels of control, and 3) how motor control knowledge is created and evaluated.
