COURSE DESCRIPTION This two-day hands-on course designed specifically for OTA s and PTA's will discuss the medical complications and management for the neurologically involved patient populations, particularly in stroke. The intervention-focused agenda provides evidence based treatment strategies and practical approaches for impairments such as decreased balance, pusher syndrome, shoulder strengthening/complications, visual perceptual changes and cognitive functional deficits and implications for treatment. The program includes workshop sessions on the topics of gait training techniques, upper extremity shaping techniques, shoulder management, communication strategies and hand edema. Successful completion: This blended learning opportunity will include 3 hours of self-study activities that provide foundational material and set the stage for the workshop and live portion of the course. Participants will have a chance to apply their knowledge in the two-day in-person program comprised of lectures and hands-on workshop activities. To achieve full credit for this course, participants must complete the 3-hour prework, attend the live program and complete an evaluation. WHO SHOULD ATTEND Due to the focus on therapeutic interventions, this course is designed for Occupational Therapy Assistants and Physical Therapist Assistants. Occupational Therapists and Physical Therapists looking for an intervention-focused course on neurorehabilitation may also be interested and are welcome to attend.
