The purpose of this 2 credit course is to provide the student with a basic foundation for examining, evaluating, and providing treatment interventions for individuals who have movement dysfunction due to problems with motor control and motor learning. Emphasis is placed on understanding normal and impaired movement through discussion of motor control and motor learning. The ICF model of enablement and the systems model of motor control and the task oriented approach to movement analysis will be used as frameworks for evaluating simple (not complex) movement dysfunction and for developing intervention plans.
