DPT 671 Neuroanatomy
This course is designed to provide the student with information about the structure and organization of the nervous system (central nervous system and peripheral nervous system) so that the student can apply it to the management of patients with neurological problems and in particular, to their rehabilitation. Systems that govern movement, posture, coordination, balance, cognition, sensory integration, and so on will be emphasized. Presentation of course material will primarily take place in classroom with laboratory activities incorporated. The pedagogical approach of the course will include an emphasis on problem oriented and case-based learning in an effort to encourage active student participation and clinical decision-making. Course content also includes the relationship between damage to the nervous system and dysfunction.
