Course
Description: Canine Neurology and Neuro Rehabilitation teaches therapists how to evaluate, interpret neuroimaging, develop a problem list, create a treatment plan and complete the treatment plan for a variety of neurological patients including intervertebral disc disease, lumbosacral disease, degenerative myelopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and fibrocartilagenous embolism. Upon completion of the course, the attendees will have a good clinical understanding of basic neuroanatomy and neurolocalization. Students also will learn how to develop and execute a conservative treatment plan in the absence of in-depth diagnostics.
