PTAC 2015 - Neuroanatomy and Functional Rehabilitation-LAB
Credits: 2
This lab course focuses on instruction in specific treatment techniques used for neuromuscular re-education, motor learning to regain functional independence, and normalization of muscle tone and gait training for the patient with injury or disease of the nervous system. Treatment techniques will be for patients with stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and various neurological diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s Disease. The following rehabilitation techniques will be practiced under the supervision of the physical therapist: Neurodevelopmental Technique (NDT), Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), Brunnstrom and Rood inhibition and facilitation techniques through the progression of postures, as well as objective balance assessment and techniques using the Swiss ball. Cognitive testing spaced retrieval for patients with dementia, and treatment techniques for pediatric patients will also be practiced. Patient/practitioner interaction, interpersonal communication skills, professionalism, and time management will be emphasized during patient simulated skills tests. Students will work in small groups to develop an exercise program for a patient with a specific neurological disease as part of their research project. The course includes individual testing for competency in rehab skills. Testing will occasionally occur outside scheduled lab time.
