Maximizing Recovery After Stroke: Maximizing Upper Extremity Recovery and the Complicated Shoulder
Course Description
Are you ready to learn how to apply evidence in UE recovery after stroke? Are you aware that there are proven techniques to facilitate movement in a flaccid upper extremity that are different from those that serve us best once movement has emerged? Are you aware that these are different from the best interventions for those with mild weakness or even persistent (chronic stroke) weakness? Do you know the 4 main physiologic causes for shoulder pain post stroke? Are you aware of the evidence supporting translation of emerging movement into function in recovery from stroke? Can you name three ways to “force” movement and drive neuroplasticity in motor control – or sensory recovery of the arm and hand? Are the principles and your approaches toward UE function and ADLs/reaching/grasping recovery different to create skilled movement, re-create automatized movement (without thinking)? If you already have answers for all of these questions…then this course is not for you!
Course Objectives
At the end of this course, the participant will be able to:
- List 3 techniques to more successfully facilitate motion in the flaccid UE.
- Explain how to use dual task interference to promote greater automaticity in recovery of UE function and ADLs.
- Discriminate between and identify spasticity vs tone, the functional implications, and the best evidence in management for each.
- Identify applications of forced use therapy for UE motor and sensory recovery.
- Categorize the subtypes of post-stroke shoulder pain syndromes and recognize respective contemporary interventions.
