Students will gain knowledge in the neuroanatomical and neurophysiological bases of motor performance. Students will also learn how to integrate this knowledge for interpreting clinical presentation of representative pathological conditions that compromise neuromotor performance in adults. In the neuroanatomy lab component, students will develop three dimensional knowledge of the human nervous system through study of anatomical specimens. In the clinical lab component students will learn skills in clinical assessment of sensory-motor functions. Understanding the conceptual neurophysiological basis of clinical assessment tools will be emphasized. Pre-requisite: successful completion of PT-850, PT-851, PT-852, PT-853, PT854, and PT-881, or approval from the PT Program.
