PT 7620 - Movement Sciences II

2 Credit Hours
Prerequisites: Prerequisite: Entry into the PT program and successful completion of all prior DPT courses.
Description
Motor control insights, gleaned from Movement Sciences I and their expansion in Movement Sciences II, become the umbrella for understanding how normal and abnormal movements emerge and from which therapeutic intervention is constructed and motor patterns are evaluated. This course builds on the principles of movement science and motor control by exposing the student to the theories of motor learning and the application of principles of biomechanics and kinesiology to abnormal movement. The principles of motor learning are included for structuring and progressing treatment. L
