Course Description
Clinicians in all settings routinely assess reflexes, sensory status and motor function, making this course ideal for a variety of practitioners to revisit why we do what we do. The course will explore the neuroanatomical basis for the neurological part of any clinical exam, discussing normal and abnormal findings and how they are related to pathology, intervention and prognosis. Whether the course is utilized as a practical review for clinicians or as an adjunct for challenging your PT students clinical reasoning, this course will suit your needs.

Specific topics include:


Reflex assessment of the body, head and neck Somatosensory pathways of the body and face

Myotomal testing and motor pathways
