General Information

Overview

This unit will provide you with the foundational components of neurological physiotherapy to prepare you for the clinical management of patients with neurological conditions. You will develop an understanding of neuroanatomy, neuroscience, and neurodevelopment and realise how health theories and frameworks (e.g., motor learning, International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)) guide neurological rehabilitation. You will learn to conduct assessments that define impairments and limitations in the context of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), select and apply outcome measures that monitor functional limitations and impairments, and use clinical reasoning for the basis of treatment planning. The interventions you implement will be effective, evidence-based, and directed at the re-education of functional movement.
