DescriptionBrain Rewiring for Better Recovery
People are increasingly coming through our doors for post-stroke care. However, we are split between encouraging “healing” and the reality of ever-shrinking rehab lengths of stay, which forces us to focus solely on function. Because of this pressure, we may turn to fast solutions or shortcuts that may assist in the short term but lack appropriate proof for long-term rehabilitation. Stroke rehabilitation is not a fast remedy. In reality, we are under growing pressure to give evidence that our initiatives are effective (can someone say G Codes?). It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of rehabilitation specialists acting decisively, responsibly, and successfully with this rising population.
This course provides a road map to stroke rehabilitation that leads to recovery. Discuss common stroke deficits (e.g., apraxia, neglect, pusher syndrome) and therapies based on contemporary neuroplasticity concepts to remediate these impairments. Evidence-based therapies for hemiparetic/hemiplegic upper and lower limbs following stroke will also be presented. By the end of the course, you will have the tools and resources you need to successfully enhance stroke patient outcomes.
