Objectives

1. Analyze the latest advances in stroke recovery and their implications for therapy.
2. Determine strategies for identifying the root causes of post-stroke impairments faster.
3. Integrate effective interventions that can be used immediately to improve function, multitasking, balance, gait, strength, flexibility and mobility.
4. Combine multiple interventions more effectively for better results, including dual task interventions, NDT, constraint induced movement therapy, balance and gait training, exercise, and functional activities.
5. Design effective, innovative plans of care for a wide range of neurological impairments.
6. Apply the assessments and interventions discussed in this seminar to a series of interactive case scenarios.
