EXSC501 Neurological Analysis, Prescription and Rehabilitation

10 cp
Prerequisites Nil
Teaching Organisation 150 hours of focused learning.

This unit builds upon an understanding of the human nervous system at gross anatomical and elemental levels, with a focus upon the sensory and motor components of movement control. Injury to this system is often devastating; however extensive recovery of function within the nervous system is possible with appropriate diagnosis and rehabilitation.

The unit will explore the use of exercise in the rehabilitation of individuals with neurological disorders. The pathophysiology of neural injury, general impairments commonly suffered, as well as specific neurological disorders will be examined. Students will be provided with techniques for the exercise-based rehabilitation of general neurological impairments, as well as specific neurological disorders.
