NEUROLOGIC CONDITIONS

Name: CRUZ, JOHANN SEBASTIAN I. Year & Sec: PT4Y1-2 Date of Submission: 11/20/2018

Learning Objectives: • Review the signs and symptoms of the conditions given

• Identify the symptoms and prescribe an assessment and treatment to measure and treat the symptoms given

INSTRUCTION:

1. Give 3 symptoms for each condition.

2. Do not repeat any symptoms for all conditions.

3. Align the symptoms you determined for the condition and align an assessment, physical agent and exercise that will best measure and treat the symptoms you listed.
