Neuromuscular Re-education in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation: Measurement and Implementation

Movement is a complex human function that relies on sensory feedback, motor control and strength. Many movements used in daily activities are habitual and automatic, requiring very little thought, but when dysfunction occurs, previously simple movement patterns become challenging. Neuromuscular re-education is an important therapeutic technique addressing motor skills to facilitate return to full function after a disruption. This class will focus on principles of neuromuscular control, measurement, and implementation in musculoskeletal disorders with an emphasis on outpatient upper extremity rehabilitation.
