Practical Stroke Rehabilitation Care: Staying on the Cutting Edge

An RIC course, the most interesting would be
Management of the Neurological Hand at Various Stages of
Recovery
- Marilyn Harvey, OTR/L
Molly Listenberger, OTD, OTR/L
Kim Eberhardt Muir, MS, OTR/L
Katie Polo, MHS, OTR/L, CLT-LANA
That would be worth sitting in on.

• Describe a model of care for stroke rehabilitation that integrates clinical practice and research
• Discuss the purpose and use of commonly prescribed medications in stroke patients during rehabilitation
• Develop evidence-based outcomes for therapeutic management of attentional, perceptual and cognitive-communication interventions for right hemisphere stroke.(What about left hemisphere?)

• Discuss strategies for increasing the number of steps in gait training for persons with stroke
• Apply various modalities and treatment options for persons post-stroke with mild-moderate levels of upper extremity recovery
