DPHT 7320 Integrated Control of Movement

3 SCH. The Integrated Control of Movement course introduces a framework that enables learners to incorporate current theory and research on motor control into clinical practice. 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 and considerations for evidence-based intervention are applied to virtual case studies.
