PHYT 5030

In this course, students will conduct a critical analysis of the evidence supporting physiotherapy management of people with functional disabilities arising from diseases or conditions that affect neurological control of movement. The course will emphasize topics such as the sensory-motor and neuromuscular control processes that affect gait, balance and functional abilities of a variety of populations (e.g., aging adults, and people with functional impairments due to Parkinson's, cerebrovascular accident, or arthritic conditions).
