| Course Description | This 16-week course is the second in a two-part series, which applies the Patient Management Model to neuromuscular conditions. While the first course emphasized Stroke, this course deals with all the other neuromuscular conditions that are commonly seen by physical therapy. This course is divided into 2 sections: Part A deals with spinal cord injury and Part B emphasizes demyelinating diagnoses, peripheral neuropathies, movement disorders, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Post-Polio syndrome (PPS), Myasthenia Gravis (MG), inflammatory myopathies, Central Nervous System tumors and vestibular disorders. Examination, intervention, progression and outcome assessment for individuals with these neuromuscular disorders are linked to the anatomical, physiological and pathological considerations. Emphasis is placed on clinical decision-making, critiquing impaired movement patterns and evidenced-based practice in individuals with spinal cord injury and neuromuscular disorders. |
