Course objectiveIdentify clinical problems at the level of participation, disorder, function by using international and current classification systems in various cases with lower motor neuron lesions. To develop hypothesis for the appropriate intervention plan by using the deep and systematic information reached in the neurological rehabilitation field and to increase the ability of problem-solving and clinical decision making. 
Learning outcomes
  1. Comments the information related to clinical problem-solving and decision-making concepts and principles specific to the neurological rehabilitation.
  2. Defines clinical problems after lower motor neuron lesions at the level of participation, disorder, function by using a current classification system, taking into account the case-specific personal and environmental factors.
  3. Implements all the stages of clinical problem-solving and reasoning processes.
  4. Presents a report related to case-specific clinical decision-making process orally and in writing.
Course ContentImplementation of the clinical problem solving, reasoning and decision-making, and the reporting process in the rehabilitation of lower motor neuron diseases
