Learning Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to: 1. Recognize how changes in neuromuscular function, communication and information processing affects patient education, safety, discharge planning, and advocacy 2. Screen for general health status, mental function, and treatment readiness using information obtained from the medical chart and patient/family interview. 3. Plan interventions to improve motor function, aerobic capacity, and functional training in self-care at home/work/school settings in simulated adult and pediatric neuromuscular cases 4. Demonstrate competence in selecting and applying interventions based on the physical therapist plan of care in simulated neuromuscular cases: a. Motor function (manual neuromuscular facilitation, gait, locomotion, balance); b. Therapeutic exercise; c. Functional training in self-care for home, work, community, etc.; d. Aerobic endurance; e. Applications of devices and equipment (e.g., standing frame, wheelchairs and cushions, biophysical agents, mechanical lift, mobilization and pressure-relieving aids, bracing and positioning aids, safety equipment, etc.) 5. Select and simulate balance interventions based on standardized balance assessment outcomes 6. Assess how selected interventions address identified impairments functional limitations and disability in patients with neuromuscular deficits 7. Apply documentation standards for common neuromuscular tests and measures (arousal and orientation, posture, sensation, tone, righting and postural reactions, endurance, balance and coordination) 8. Detect gross motor milestones, fine motor milestones, and righting and equilibrium reactions in a simulated pediatric case 9. Analyze posture, sensation, movement patterns, arousal and attention in simulated adult and pediatric neuromuscular cases 10. Cite appropriate evidence to support treatment planning and interventions in simulated neuromuscular adult and pediatric cases and course discussions 11. Effectively educate others using teaching methods that are commensurate with the needs of the patient, caregiver or healthcare personnel in simulated neuromuscular cases. 12. Self-assess value-based behaviors and volunteerism outcomes during development of service learning project 13. Discuss how personal values and frameworks for disability influence patient-provider interactions Required Materials: Technical Requirements: |
