1 credit hour

This course provides an in-depth review of impairments and activity limitations resulting from neurologic pathology including methods of classifying impairments, discussion of impairments of cognitive, sensory and perceptual, and action systems, including the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems. Current evidence of problems underlying abnormal postural control and types of postural control problems associated with different neurologic conditions is presented. Evidence-based tests and measures used for examination of neurologic impairments and activity limitations are presented and practiced. This course also includes a task-oriented approach to examination of a mobility disorder with an application of gait examination to a current patient.
