Cerebral Palsy- an introduction to neurorehabilitation

This is an introductory course that is designed for the students, teachers, individuals with Cerebral palsy, and the family members of those individuals with Cerebral palsy. This course will include:

- A brief overview of the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system during which we address the main components of the nervous system and the brain, including the neuron, the cerebral cortex, the cerebellum, and the basal ganglia.

- We will then branch into the different types and classifications of cerebral palsy and further elaborate on spastic cerebral palsy as the most prevalent form of cerebral palsy.

- We will discuss the latest trends in research with regards to the management of Cerebral palsy. This section will be broken up into two sections each identifying a different research trend within a macro population perspective and a micro therapeutic framework.

- Finally, we will address the management of cerebral palsy. This section will be broken up into the medical and therapeutic management of cerebral palsy and will provide you with appropriate examples.

This course will not be a parrot fashion form of learning, you will be able to engage with the content via quizzes and feedback, however, this course does require you to be open-minded and learn.

At the end of this course, the purpose and feedback of this course and many to come will be established.

I look forward to hearing about your experience and enquiries regarding the course.
