Neuropracticity with Mike Studer

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course will reveal a novel and intense clinical approach built specifically for persons that are 6 months or more in recovery post cerebrovascular accident (CVA); with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) after brain injury or surgery (from concussion, to TBI, to tumor) , .This approach includes Interventions that are designed and built directly from evidence and are adapted with consideration for the unique attributes of changes in the body and brain months and years after CVA/brain injury and with disease-onset for years. Additionally, this application will reveal incorporation of recent advances in motivation, motor learning, and practice – displaying all through videotape case study demonstration. Attendees will be engaged in a thought-provoking presentation that challenges previous misconceptions about the timeline of recovery and potential for improvement years after CVA and the potential to recover with MS, PD, concussion in the elderly, etc. This presentation builds on recent evidence of high-intensity interval training, procedural memory training, circuit training, task specific overtraining, motor learning, OPTIMAL, forced-use and many more – across mobility, communication, cognition and ADL applications. providing the learner from all practice points with tools to rehabilitate clients regardless of equipment and technological availability.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

Identify physiologic changes that occur in many individuals months and years post CVA, brain injury, and with PD.

Apply recent evidence in motor learning and motivation to maximize the recovery for clients in chronic stroke rehabilitation.

Apply recent evidence in practice structure and feedback to maximize the recovery for clients after brain lesion/injury.

Debunk rehabilitation myths about recovery dependence on timing and technology in effective rehabilitative outcomes in those with brain injury, degenerative disease, or stroke.
