Normal and abnormal movement patterns in children are presented and the developmental and long term effects of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal dysfunction, as they relate to movement, are reviewed. Emphasis is placed the examination and intervention techniques of selected movement problems and explores use of adaptive equipment and the role of the pediatric physical therapist in a variety of contexts and environments. Examination and interventions for subtle and complex neurological conditions will be explored. Interventions appropriate for a variety of service delivery settings including NICU, home-based EI, and schools are considered. The physical therapist role in transitions between delivery settings is also addressed. Students will examine evidence for therapeutic methodology as well as that of alternative and complementary therapeutic regimes. Video and paper cases will be integrated throughout the course to foster clinical decision making skills, as well as differential diagnosis, based on best available evidence.
