Igniting Neuroplasticity after Stroke: Breakthroughs for Improving Motor Recovery – Michelle Green

Salepage link: At HERE. Archive:

Learn how to ignite recovery in stroke patients with innovative interventions that re-educate the movement patterns needed for compensation and recovery. Find out what is important for neuroplasticity to occur, and discover how to unlock the potential in cognitively impaired patients who cannot communicate or do not understand the goals of treatment. Take home key motor control strategies and targeted treatments for progressing patients from any level toward functional recovery and community reintegration.

1. Review the latest research on neuroplasticity and its implications for stroke rehabilitation
2. Identify steps for improving task assessment, intervention selection, progressions, and ultimately functional outcomes, using key concepts related to neuroplasticity, motor control, and motor learning
3. Compare and evaluate interventions related to compensation and recovery

Review the latest research on neuroplasticity and its implications for stroke rehabilitation

• Describe moto control and motor learning theories
• Introduce 5 Stages of Trask Performance
• Correlate deficits in task performance to identified impairments
• Develop framework for treatment progression based on 5 Stages of Task performance

Identify steps for improving task assessment, intervention selection, progressions, and ultimately functional outcomes, using key concepts related to neuroplasticity, motor control, and motor learning

• Define recovery and compensation
• Identify factors that guide our decisions to move toward interventions for recovery versus compensation
  • Premorbid ability
  • Stroke prognostic factors
  • Stage in recovery
  • Process where intervention is occurring
  • Insurance/LOS limitations
• Provide evidence for recovery over compensation early in the rehab process
• Promote inclusion of compensation and recovery within treatment progression
