Description
Stroke recovery depends on lesion location, size and severity as well as social determinants of health. If exercise is medicine, then the appropriate type and dosage that will lead to the long term highest functional outcome of safe mobility (usually walking) will be of significant importance. This course will emphasize FITT-CORRECT principles and other treatment interventions to improve sensorimotor recovery at the body structure/function and activity levels. This course provides therapy practitioners with opportunities for clinical problem solving and decision-making via various media sources and instructor-participant interaction using a case study or case scenario format. During the last 15 minutes, be prepared to have questions regarding examination, evaluation of examination data, and therapeutic interventions to progress or regress plans of care to gain insight from the instructor and peers on best practices for stroke rehabilitation.
Objectives

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Determine how a lesion contributes to impairment and impacts choice of treatment intervention for best outcome based on person, task and environment.
  • Create treatment strategies to promote function at the body structure/function or activity level despite abnormal movement patterns.
  • Demonstrate hand placement for inhibiting or facilitating muscle activity or functional movement associated with the upper extremity, trunk and lower extremity.
  • Apply the principles of FITT-CORRECT to therapeutic interventions based on lesion location and impairment.
  • Integrate information learned that can be immediately applied to neurologic rehabilitation practice
