DPT 8201 - Adult Neuromuscular II Lecture

Credits: 2 hrs

This course is the continuation and companion course to adult Neuromuscular I. Emphasis will be placed on assessment, treatment concepts, and goal writing for specific neurological conditions affecting adult patients. Through lectures, physical demonstrations, video- and live web links, case studies, field trips, and other forms of small- and large group learning, all students will learn the clinical logic for evaluation and rehabilitation of adults with neurological disorders based on the Guide to Physical Therapist Practice and other evidence-based material from physical therapist practice. The clinical logic for this course will emphasize adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury (SCI), and other neurological disorders including (but not limited to) Guillian Barre (GB), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson’s Disease (PD; some covered in fall 2022), Post-polio syndrome (PPS), and dementia. Long COVID will be also reviewed.
