An online course designed to introduce participants to the updated views of the assessment and treatment of adults with neurological/ neuromuscular dysfunctions inconsistent with the evidence-based practice. The course includes lectures, presentations, and discussion of different case studies with a strong emphasis on observational skills, movement analysis, and clinical reasoning.

The course includes two modules, with an assignment at the end of the course.Module (I) focuses on basic principles and assessment of neurological conditions. In module (II), we will discuss principles of rehabilitation & intervention strategies to achieve an optimum plan of care for patients with neurological disorders. A live discussion session will be conducted at the end of each module.

Learning outcomes:

By the end of this course, participants should be able to:

  1. Understand the basic principles of motor control, motor learning, and neural plasticity as a foundation for neural recovery after neurological insult.
  2. Define the systems controlling normal movement as a base for clinical reasoning & problem-solving.
  3. Recognize the difference between normal and efficient movements essential for appropriate movement task analysis.
  4. Organize thinking during the process of patient examination, prioritize problems list, and relevant outcome measures in the light of the “ICF” model.
  5. Develop an integrated plan of care & formulate the appropriate patient’ centered treatment goals.
  6. Obtain the basic knowledge of problem-solving and clinical reasoning in the most common neurological cases.
  7. Identify, select & modify the intervention strategies with regards to neurological impairments, patient responses, and intended treatment goals concerning clinical guidelines and evidence-based practice.

Course fees only 25 USD include:

  • Pre-readings materials and scientific articles.
  • Access to audiovisual materials (16 pre-recorded lectures).
  • 2 live discussion sessions will be at the end of each module.
  • Final assignment (Online MCQ).
  • A digital certificate (after successful passing of exam)
