This course is the first of two courses that explore conceptual and practical issues in motor control and motor learning and helps to form an important theoretical foundation for the practice of evidence-based physical therapy. Students will also explore theories of motor control and postural control as explanatory models for changes in movement capabilities. Potential functional constraints to the motor control and postural control systems will be explored using a systems model within an International Class of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework.
