The goal of this seminar
is to discuss current research and theories in motor control
and how they affect the examination and intervention of clients
with neurologic dysfunction. Specific motor control issues
are examined as they relate to postural control, gait and upper
extremity control. Participants will explore musculoskeletal/
biomechanical, neural, and sensory issues in the control of
movement. Motor control problems are related to various neurologic
dysfunctions. Issues in motor control and motor learning are
also examined as they relate to current rehabilitation procedures.

theory, neurodevelopment principles (NDT), myofascial release
treatment principles, oral motor treatment, positioning, strengthening,
and other treatment techniques) with an emphasis on evidenced
based practice.
