Normal peripheral and central nervous system function and the pathophysiology of various neurological disorders are presented. Neural control of movement and functional force development is discussed in detail with emphasis on muscle activation in health and disease. Lab activities emphasize central nervous system screening and an introduction to balance assessment tools, common outcome measures, and a comprehensive neurologic examination.
