Description

This workshop builds on the groundwork laid out in the Neurophysiology 101 workshop, which covers how the nervous system works and the role in plays in movement. In Neurophysiology 201, we apply that knowledge to the populations who suffer from spinal cord injury, stroke, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis. We look at what happens to the nervous system when things go wrong and how this affects movement. You leave able to design exercise programs that help these special populations enhance their movement potential.

Note: Neurophysiology 101 highly recommended.

Learning objectives

• Gain a basic understanding of neurophysiology with respect to neurological impairments, such as spinal cord injury, stroke, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis
• Learn verbal and non-verbal cueing techniques to promote change in the movement patterns for individuals with neurological impairments
• Find out how to design exercise programs for individuals with neurological impairments
