PT 632 Evaluation & Intervention II
This course includes interpretation and implications of patient history, patient goals, and examination data, including diagnostic imaging, to evaluation of the patient with neurological problems, to diagnosis of movement dysfunction, to formulation of a prognosis, and formulation of an appropriate plan of care with specific interventions for the patient with neurological involvement in various physical therapy settings with consideration of best available evidence. The intervention options and implications for choices in the context of tutorial cases are discussed, for example, for problems with postural control/balance, ambulation/gait, and motor function. The implications of pharmacologic use and interactions on the nervous system and related structures are included also, as well as the role of assistive and adaptive devices in facilitating goal achievement.
