Stroke is the leading cause of serious, long-term disability. This two-day physical therapy and occupational therapy continuing education course delivers understanding of the underlying mechanisms of stroke diagnosis in order to enhance a therapist’s ability to determine the specific rehab needs of stroke patients.
Franklin, TN (PRWEB) September 29, 2011
This continuing education course provides a systematic movement re-education treatment approach. Concepts presented will teach you how to utilize the fundamental movement patterns of the neurodevelopmental sequence to view mobility and static/dynamic stability problems in a more isolated setting. You will learn how to identify a patient’s most dysfunctional movement pattern following stroke, or any other movement disorder, and reduce that pattern into its many underlying mobilizing and stabilizing actions and reactions that constitute function. As demonstrated in the labs, movement patterns can be assisted and facilitated, corrected (with manual therapy and prescribed proprioceptively enriched therapeutic exercise), and progressed. After completion of this course, the participant will have the information needed to evaluate and treat movement dysfunction. Participants will leave this course with a safe, progressive and evidence-based approach to allow for strong therapy outcomes regardless of therapy background or treatment setting.
Physical therapy continuing education objectives and Occupational therapy continuing education objectives
-
Identify how to analyze, correct and progress movement patterns.
- Develop and perform a complete evaluation approach linking movement assessment findings to functional patterns.
- Discuss evidence-based practice for strength training, forced use, body weight supported therapies and virtual reality and how they relate to the stroke patient population.
- Describe the scientific and clinical rationale behind the development of an exercise program for the treatment of functional mobility in the stroke population.
- Demonstrate the proper utilization of the fundamental movement patterns of the neurodevelopmental sequence to view mobility and static/dynamic stability problems in a more isolated setting.
- Learn how to identify a patient’s most dysfunctional movement pattern following stroke, reduce that pattern into its many underlying mobilizing and stabilizing actions and reactions that constitute function.
- Describe how neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction can lead to impaired motor control and movement patterns.
- Understand how to utilize neuromuscular inhibition and facilitation techniques and how to sequence them in therapy prescriptions for maximum functional outcomes.
- Develop home exercise programs of prescribed fundamental movement patterns to maintain functional results.
