Aims:
This program aims to teach the participants proper handling and management of the upper and lower quadrants of adults with neurological disorders through different motor control and biomechanical strategies. This will be done through the findings recorded during assessing the tonal differences and providing a basic review of different neurological disorders and the underlying neuroanatomical processes.
The program will focus on the most popular challenging findings with a solution based on both research and practical evidence. Management based on both neurophysiology and biomechanics is the main basic key for the proper longterm functional goals to maintain the patients’ well-being.
The participants at the end of the course will understand how to integrate the basic clinical findings with the rehabilitation protocols set and the clinical outcome measured on baseline
The program includes:
A- Online Modules (3 Hours)
Module 1
-
Basic review for the neuroanatomy and the neurophysiology.
-
Integrating the systems controlling normal movement in clinical practice.
Module 2
- Discuss the pathophysiology and clinical concepts of different neurological diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems such as:
-
Stroke
-
Multiple Sclerosis
-
Parkinsonism
-
peripheral neural disorders
Module 3
-
Selecting and using the outcome measures in the neurological practice.
-
Review of the Literature about the concept of treatment of adults with neurological disorders.
B- Face-to-Face Teaching (27 hours)
