Course Description

This course provides students with general knowledge of the neuroanatomy and physiology of the central and peripheral nervous system. It will also help to enhance students understanding of the function of other body system in the planning and implementation of physiotherapy management.

Course Learning Outcomes

1 ) Explain the function of cerebrum, cerebellum, spinal cord and special area in the brain and rationale symptom presented in the injury to these structures or system.
2 ) Explain the physiology of pain and rationale physiotherapy management.
3 ) Explain the motor, sensory, auditory, vestibular and visual system and the common neurological in the injury to these systems.
4 ) Describe the nerve conduction system and recovery process in nerve lesion.
