Description

This course will guide clinicians through the development of treatment approaches that integrate multiple perspectives of motor control and learning. The three major factors of motor learning – environmental conditions, cognitive processes, and movement organization through multisensory integration – will be applied to guide motor learning techniques. Design interventions that use the evidence to support greater retention and learning that is realized by patients as enhanced functional mobility. Hands-on experiences will allow you to collaborate on development of effective, holistic interventions that promote optimal function and skills.
