Complications From Stroke Demystified: Shoulder, Pusher, and Neglect
Copyright :
In this session, practitioners should expect to have their beliefs about these complications of stroke challenged, reinforced, and informed. They should be ready to view the evidence in shoulder complications and learn about the efficacy of slings, modalities, and neuromuscular re-education. Clinicians should be prepared to analyze the evidence in pusher syndrome regarding the use of mirrors, visual cues, allowing errors, and progressing treatment. In addition, clinicians should be ready to consume a review of the literature on body and environmental neglect, with specific considerations regarding visual aids, forced-use, and task-specific training.
This course will go WELL beyond a review of evidence in all three of these conditions. Attendees should expect that Dr. Studer will translate the evidence through video and case examples, for optimal application in the clinic.
