FUNCTIONAL NEUROANATOMY FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY

Prerequisites & course information

Requisites: Declared in Doctor of Physical Therapy program Course Designation: Grad 50% - Counts toward 50% graduate coursework requirement Repeatable for Credit: No Last Taught: Fall 2026 Learning Outcomes: 1. Summarize the main structures and functions within the major divisions of the nervous system (brain and spinal cord), peripheral and autonomic nervous systems. Audience: Graduate 2. Describe how regions of the nervous system interact to perform specific functions. Audience: Graduate 3. Describe the functional consequences of damage to the nervous system (e.g., as in ischemic stroke syndromes). Audience: Graduate 4. Determine the location of neural damage through a synthesis of signs and symptoms of the functional neuroanatomy. Audience: Graduate 5. Describe the neural underpinnings of symptoms encountered and addressed through the practice of physical therapy. Audience: Graduate Learning Outcomes: 1.
