PT 199: Neurological Movement Analysis [Fall 2017]
Section outline
-
Welcome to PT199: Neurological Movement Analysis!
I look forward to working with you all on your neurological movement analysis. We're going to have fun (I promise!)
A couple things to think about:
1. YOU MUST REGISTER FOR THIS CLASS WITHIN THE STUDENT PORTAL. PLEASE DO THAT ASAP. If you have questions about how to do that, please ask Oscar.
2. For the graded portion of this class, you will work with one partner to provide 10 links to a particular pathological impairment demonstrated via video online (NOT from personal patient videos) AND perform a movement breakdown together on 1 of those 10 that you have collected. That is one reason why it is a good idea to find great videos with discrete and noticeable impairments.
3. Your excel spreadsheets with 10 video links AND your movement analysis for one of those videos are due to me via CLE on the SATURDAY prior to our next meeting date by 11:55 pm PST. This is very important, as I have to go through the videos and pick which ones we might be able to analyze for our group session. It also takes quite a while to analyze your movement analyses. I try to be very thorough, so that you can learn from each week's analysis.
4. Remember, we want to look at all types of movements, not just gait! Think creatively: tub transfers, rolling in bed, donning clothing, doing activities of leisure.
5. You must pick a total of 10 videos per topic to include in your excel sheets but you will only have to perform a written movement analysis on 1. This quantity may sound crazy but I promise there are so many links out there! Other than working with your partner, try NOT to work with your other colleagues, as this might lead to everyone having the same videos and the goal is to build a database of valuable videos/links that students and professors can use in the future. You all are the students- think about what you would like to see if a professor was to show one of these links and then search for it.
6. I will be including articles that might be helpful in your movement analysis or with determining treatments or prognosis information. They are not required reading but I think will give you some guidance in terms of where to start and what considerations to make in your treatments or analyses.
7. Every person must turn in a movement analysis on CLE, although it will be the same as your partner. On every sheet PLEASE (please please please!!) put your name and your partner's name. I'm going to thank you all in advance for that. :-)
The goal is to think globally about somebody's impairments and then use your movement analysis to shape the treatments.
As always, if there are any questions, let me know via email at Catherine.Printz@ucsf.edu.
