DPHT 7320 Integrated Control of Movement

3 SCH. Integrated Control of Movement addresses the multidisciplinary areas of neuroscience, biomechanics, psychology and other disciplines. The emphasis of this course is analyzing information from evidence-based research to understand movement patterns and implications for therapeutic interventions. Laboratory practice highlights tests and measures that characterize or quantify posture, gait, locomotion, balance, and the initiation, modification and control of movement patterns during motor learning. Mechanisms of neural plasticity and their impact on patient’s/client’s recovery of function are also addressed.
