This course will provide clinicians with an enhanced knowledge of therapeutic exercise as it applies to persons with neurological disease/diagnoses, highlighting how therapeutic exercise in this population is different from the musculoskeletal diagnoses. The course will focus on evidence based therapeutic exercises that go beyond traditional strengthening/fitness exercises and promote neuroplasticity, motor learning, and recovery of function. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT and PTA.
