MOVEMENT DISORDERS AND MOTOR CONTROL - NEU 911 is a comprehensive study of motor control and human movement disorders. We will present the latest, most up-to-date scientific literature regarding the evaluation and rehabilitation of individuals with motor control deficits. A comprehensive overview of the anatomy and physiology of the basal nuclei and the cerebellum will be offered. Conditions discussed include Parkinsonism, PSP and how neurodegenerative disease effects movement and posture. Emphasis is placed on assessment of these patients including eye movements and computerized assessment of posture and sway. The clinician should leave the course with a profound understanding of the various movement disorders and how to design a rehabilitation protocol for optimal results.
