Description
Learn how to ignite recovery in stroke patients with innovative interventions that re-educate the movement patterns needed for compensation and recovery. Find out what is important for neuroplasticity to occur, and discover how to unlock the potential in cognitively impaired patients who cannot communicate or do not understand the goals of treatment. Take home key motor control strategies and targeted treatments for progressing patients from any level toward functional recovery and community reintegration.
