This course which will consist of seminars, tutorials, and laboratories will focus on the physical assessment of the function/dysfunction of the neuromuscular system. Specific sensorimotor functions including reaching, upright posture, gait, and lower extremity movement will be analyzed. The functions will be analyzed conceptually as to their importance for a healthy life style, measured using state-of-the-art technology in select patient populations and compared to normative parameters in the current literature. Tutorials will focus on strategies to minimize physical dysfunction and optimize performance. Students will be responsible for preparing background material in seminars for each of the sensorimotor functions included in the course.
