Target Audience
- The program is designed for professionals linked to the rehabilitation of individuals with neuromotor disorders, including psychologists, kinesiologists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, physicians, physical education teachers, educators, and other related professionals.
Contents
The program is structured into four modules:
- Introduction to Neuroscience: Focuses on the dynamic and functional vision of the nervous system for action, exploring the complex relationship between structures and functions.
- Organization, Reorganization, and Adaptation of the Nervous System: Covers cognition motor skills beyond the pyramidal pathway, including planning, learning, and cerebral reorganization.
- Learning by Doing: Emphasizes the system's update and motivation through practice, discussing the bases of balance and mobility functions and their alterations in learning and control.
- Beyond Reflexes: Examines the flexible system from its spinal structures, focusing on locomotion, balance, and mobility functions from a spinal perspective in normal conditions and after injury.
