OVERVIEW

#7233 Use of Elastic Bands for Strengthening After Stroke© is organized by MotivationsCEU.

Description:
Resistance is key for strength gains. Elastic bands are the most common issued item for home programs to be used for strengthening. Yet, depending on lesion location, impairment severity, specifically motor deficits, strength gains may not be achieved. However, functional recovery can occur despite minimal strength gains. This course provides an evidence-based approach justifying the use of elastic bands to promote motor and functional recovery which requires coordinated muscle action that is a combination of isometric, concentric and or eccentric contractions. The course includes examples of daily living activities for participation in life roles and successful achievement of functional mobility skills as related to the content. Social determinants of health (SDoH) are addressed in a person-centered manner so that skills learned can be immediately applied to therapy plans of care, specifically therapeutic interventions in acute care, inpatient/outpatient rehab or home health via use of case studies.

Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:

Differentiate strength, functional strength and force generation as it pertains to stoke impairment deficit.
Extrapolate principles of elastic bands to justify exercises/activities that require isometric, eccentric and concentric muscle contractions.
Develop innovative treatment interventions relevant to stroke impairments, SDoH, and patient/client/caregiver goals.
Evaluate how the person, task, and or environment impacts treatment interventions to improve strength and functional activities which includes reaching during the IADL of meal preparation to retrieve items from a cabinet, transitioning sit to stand during toileting and other ADLs, and walking in the community to maximize leisure and social participation.
Integrate information learned to justify treatment interventions that address diversity, equity, inclusion or belonging and can be immediately applied to neurologic rehabilitation practice.
