Kate Bain - Pediatric Upper Extremity Handling

Kate Bain - Pediatric Upper Extremity Handling is organized by Neuro-Developmental Treatment Association (NDTA) and will be held from Oct 29 - 31, 2021 at Texas Children's Hospital - Feigin Center, Houston, Texas, United States of America.

Target Audience:
OT, PT, SLP

Description:
This course includes didactic, lab, and video treatment demonstrations for participants to analyze typical and atypical task-based posture and movement control, focused on the upper extremities – in relation to other body segments. The central theme will be learning about and practicing handling/treatment strategies towards goal-related functional change in requested daily tasks. In addition, participants will have an opportunity to learn about research in contemporary NDT, but particularly with a focus on clinical functional outcome measurement related to, for example, upper extremity function.

Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
• Identify typical components of posture and movement of the upper extremity (proximal and distal) – as functionally related to other body segments
• Analyze posture and movement as they relate atypical components of posture and movement of the upper extremity (proximal and distal) - as functionally related to other body segments
• View and discuss video-based functional, upper extremity, goal-based contemporary NDT intervention
• Practice a variety of upper extremity-focused, goal-based NDT treatment strategies (proximal and distal) - functionally related to other body segments
• Review aspects of upper extremity-based functional outcome measurement and research utilizing an NDT measurement model

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
