Description

This course will focus on one or more neurological conditions and the associated motor control including Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and stroke. Students will learn about the neuroanatomical and motor control changes associated with each neurological condition. Working in small groups, students will connect with community members to gain an expert, lived-experience account of how the condition affects movement in daily life. Students will focus on one or more aspects of the neurological condition identified in a meeting with the community member. Students will review current researchbased evidence and alternative knowledge sources to support understanding and movement-based rehabilitation of that condition centered on the topic chosen with the community member. Students will learn to critique knowledge from a western and non-western perspective. Student groups will return to the community member with a summary of their knowledge gathered throughout the course in a format chosen by the community member. Student groups will also present their experiences and findings to their classmates in a presentation and written report.
