#7288 Motor Recovery Post CVA

#7288 Motor Recovery Post CVA is organized by MotivationsCEU.

Description:
Past research has purported interventions of constraint, intensity, and repetition as key factors to stroke recovery. Stroke recovery, however, is multifactorial depending on the person’s social determinants of health and most importantly, lesion location and the extent of damage, which dictates impairment. The key to recovery and subsequent minimization of impairment and potential for maximal outcomes is to understand the role of the brain in motor output. This course will address the neuroanatomical origin of movement and how it is impacted based on lesion site. Motor versus functional recovery will be discussed. Therapy practitioners will be given the opportunity to demonstrate clinical decision-making and critical thinking skills as they map lesion location to impairment and construct treatment interventions to promote recovery, prevent secondary impairments and compensate for primary or secondary impairments impact motor recovery. Course delivery will include speaker-participant interaction and participant-participant interaction via media sources. (Intermediate Level)

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

• Differentiate motor recovery from functional recovery.
• Identify the factors that determine CVA impairment.
• Identify how CVA impacts normal movement based on lesion location from a motor perspective.
• Understand how to design treatment interventions targeting motor impairments that are lesion location dependent.
• Apply critical thinking skills to assess CVA recovery as related to functional mobility and activities of daily living through case study.
