Upper limb rehabilitation following stroke - free online taster course - Nicky Snowdon University Lecturer in physiotherapy at Sheffield Hallam University

Free course, designed for therapists but survivors should crash it to make it real for them. Don't be polite, call them out on their total lack of knowledge.  Have at it, I'm going to compare it to what I've already written about.

The course will focus on rehabilitation of the upper limb following stroke. We will discuss current issues in practice and how these challenge us to achieve an active, evidence informed approach to rehabilitation, which is engaging for stroke survivors and produces results. We hope that by the end of the short course, you will be confident in applying current evidence around upper limb rehabilitation to your practice.

Week 1 - starts 25th May 2016 - What are the ingredients of good upper limb rehabilitation?

Week 2 - starts 1st June 2016 - Assessment of the upper limb following stroke.

The course will involve several interactive aspects to model the types of activities you would do as part of an online Master's course. Our online learning provision at SHU is characterised by - conversation with other learners (including the tutors), structured learning, practical relevance and multi-media resources.

You do not need to register to join the course. Simply revisit this web page after 25th May and the whole course will appear. You can either work through the course at the recommended rate to get the most out of interactivity with others or you can work through the course at your own pace.

To gain a certificate of completion, we ask you to:
1. Engage in each of the interactive activities, posting at least one comment in each week.
2. E-mail a short, reflective piece to us before the 22nd June 2016.
