The course consists of lecture, laboratory practice, demonstrations and patient treatment. Individual attention by the instructors will be provided to enhance participant s observation, handling and problem solving skills. This course includes the practical application of current basic to advanced concepts sequenced in a creative manner to help all participants meet the course objectives as well as their individual objectives. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be Neuro-

Learning Objectives / Outcomes: Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: Identify the impact of the stroke / brain injury on the patient's life roles and the functional limitations interfering with his/her ability to resume / assume those roles. Identify the primary & secondary impairments (movement & otherwise) underlying the functional limitations in various postures including function in upright posture. Select functional activities that will assess the patient's functional limitations and underlying impairments in various postures including function in upright posture. Identify concepts related to musculoskeletal biomechanics and function of the trunk, upper extremities, lower extremities, head/neck and overall body coordination. Differentiate between normal and abnormal movement throughout the body in various postures and transitions in functional activities including activities in upright posture. Identify concepts related to the impact of whole body alignment and control, as well as other mobility and control variables on respiration. Identify missing components/processes necessary for interaction with the environment, effective learning and generalization of skills / carry over. Develop a comprehensive treatment plan that will include preparation of mobility and control and facilitation of normal movement during functional activities in all postures, and ideas for carry over. Develop strategies to facilitate the patients, increase awareness of the rehab process, improved self-image and confidence, adaptation and planning / pacing skills. Apply management strategies to help patients obtain missing components of movement throughout the body that are interfering with functioning at a higher level in all postures including function in upright posture. Modify management strategies effectively based on the patient's response to maximize use of more normal and efficient movement patterns in functional activities. Integrate concepts related to normal movement, musculoskeletal biomechanics and function, sensory, cognitive, communicative, perceptual- motor and emotional considerations into activities of daily living and other functional activities. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be Neuro-IFRAH Certified. Recommended Reading: Back to the Summit by Sen. Omer Rains Instructor Information:
