Treatment of the Neurologic Upper Extremity

See all courses from Education Resources, Inc.

Instructor's Name: Glen Gillen

This interactive workshop is designed to teach participants to comprehensively evaluate and develop an evidence-based intervention plan for the neurologic upper extremity. Management of the upper extremity (ex. managing subluxation, spasticity, weakness and pain) as well as improving functional use of the upper extremity will be emphasized. Teaching strategies include: lecture, demonstration, questions and answers, and clinical problem solving using slides and videotapes. Specific issues include: neurological/biomechanical impairments that impact upon function, superimposed orthopedic limitations, methods of shoulder support/stabilization, optimizing integration of the arm into ADL/mobility and decreasing the impact of stereotypical movement patterns. In addition, multiple interventions will be presented that can be immediately implemented into practice
