Course Aims :
• To introduce how to undertake kinematic and kinetic movement analysis of patients with a movement disorder.
• To suggest treatment programmes based on current evidence that patients can follow in a safe and effective way with and without the therapist present

By the end of the course the participant should be able to:
• Understand the principles behind the movement science approach to treatment of neurological disorders.
