Instructor's Name: Susan O’Sullivan and Thomas Schmitz

This course is a guide to improving functional outcomes in adult patients with neurological diagnoses. The course covers foundations of clinical decision making and provides strategies and interventions used to improve motor function, including task specific, neuromotor, and compensatory approaches. Specific interventions are presented to improve function in bed mobility and early trunk control, sitting balance, kneeling, transfers, wheelchair skills, standing balance, locomotor skills, upper extremity skills, and constraint-induced movement therapy. Real life case studies (both written and DVD format) are included for patients with traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, peripheral vestibular dysfunction, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke. The DVD captures each patient at evaluation, during a treatment session, and near discharge. This course is designed for physical and occupational therapists who desire to enhance their neuro rehab skills based on the latest research available. Neurological rehab approaches in this course include motor learning, PNF, NDT, and sensory stimulation techniques. Course includes the text Improving Functional Outcomes in Physical Rehabilitation by Susan Sullivan and Thomas Schmitz. Contributing authors include both PTs and OTs.
