No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1984–85 to 1994–95 (before that, 1965–66 used the number for Electricity and Magnetism); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.

An introduction to selected movement disorders and their implications for physical activity. The movement disorders examined include those which accompany neuromuscular and perceptual-motor impairment, mental retardation, cardio-vascular and respiratory disease.

As printed in the 1984–85 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

  • This course provided a lot of in-depth information in regards to motor disorders and the neuroscience behind it. The course content is very interesting and applicable in the field of physiotherapy and chiropractics. The only thing that was hard about this course was the Audio Visual Quiz.

  • this course was tough. Don't leave everything to the last minute. Lots of content, quizzes weekly, an AV quiz, and a final that was cumulative. oh boy.

  • LOVED this course and would definitely take it again. I wouldn't call it easy as it was quite content heavy, and you need to really know and understand the physiological backgrounds and pathologies that cause certain disorders, but then again, I wouldn't call it hard. It was very interesting to learn the causes of motor and neuromuscular diseases, and the concepts weren't difficult to grasp - just be prepared to remember a lot of them, because by the end of the course you end up covering about 13 different disorders/conditions as well as basics of neuroscience.

  • Interesting material but there is quite a bit of memorization. There is no textbook for the course so all material is learned in class

  • The course content was very interesting but you really need to go to class to learn all the information.
