Advanced Physical Therapy Management of Multiple Sclerosis

Course overview

Persons with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) frequently receive referrals for physical therapy. Although most physical therapy schools present basic knowledge in pathophysiology, evaluation, and treatment of persons with MS, information on advanced practice is necessary as MS is a disease of tremendous variability which can evolve significantly over time, with patients presenting with different levels of symptomatology and severity over the course of their lifetimes. The purpose of this course is to present a description of advanced physical therapy practice for PTs who work with MS. This makes the course an excellent means of preparing for the NCS exam.
