Additionally, we will review injuries to the head and face and will emphasize treatment and rehabilitation techniques for patients with mild traumatic brain injuries and post-concussion syndrome. Students will learn to differentiate head and spine injuries from injuries to the shoulder and hip. The International Classification of Functioning Model (World Health Organization) will provide the framework for the course. This course is co-requisite to ATP 7206L and students must earn a grade of “C” or better for both lecture and lab.
