Hours: 4

This course provides the learner with the foundational clinical knowledge and skills necessary for the physical therapy management of individuals with neuromuscular conditions, including those that result in deficits of the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, cerebellum, and demyelination of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
