This course intends to help the emerging neurologic-focused therapist move from intermediate to advanced, within the scope of their license. Neurology for the non-neurologist’s PD, PD+, and movement disorder focus aims to improve your clinical acumen, examination, education, and intervention skills, within this complex myriad of conditions…or at least as much as we can cover in 2 hours! This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.
