Proven Techniques to Regain Functional Use of the UE and LE

Unfulfilled rehabilitation potential is one of the greatest losses a stroke patient may face.

But this comprehensive training will unlock the keys to improve prognosis after a stroke! Join leading expert, Mike Studer, PT, DPT, MHS, NCS, CEEAA, CWT, CSST, FAPTA, to explore how the principles of neuroplasticity and motor learning work together so that you can personalize care by presentation, person and performance.

Investigate the mechanisms of neuroplasticity- why and how the brain reorganizes
Understand the difference in ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke – and how that impacts rehab
Debunk the myths of stroke: UE vs. LE; timing of rehab; and “where gains come from”
Adaptable interventions for the physical and cognitive changes for UE and LE
Spasticity vs tone: differences, precursors and the treatments for each
Enhance patient compliance with principles of behavioral economics: gamification, nudge, confirmation bias, familiarity bias, and loss aversion
Cognitive rehabilitation: dual task tolerance, function, impulse control, affect & awareness
Explore the future of stroke rehab: progress in technology and science

Patient beliefs and self-efficacy are more important than we ever realized – and they are both malleable. Learn how to prime the reward centers for possible success as you expertly balance patient autonomy, challenge, failure, and wins as part of your treatment plan.

And best of all? You'll be eligible to become a Certified Stroke Rehabilitation Professional (CSRP)*, for no additional charge!

Your Peers are Raving about this Training!

"I loved the videos and clinical application/treatment ideas to help better apply and understand topics discussed in the course." – Brittany S, PT

"Such a well-presented course. Thank you for sharing your research, experience, and evidence-supported approach. I have a lot of experience with PWS and I have lots to think about and new ideas to implement. I really enjoyed your course." – Becky K, PT

"Mike Studer was a very informed presenter and did a great job of providing new ideas, and evidence across the fields. As an OT, I learned a lot from this course!" – Abigail P, OT

"Great, energetic speaker. Up-to-date knowledge. Caring and engaged in discussion and very helpful in answering questions or providing resources. He even spent time over lunch to provide more resources to ensure we had a good understanding of a topic. It is wonderful to have a speaker that truly cares about the subject matter and wholeheartedly shares knowledge with participants. Thank you, Mike!" – Stacey C, PT

Stroke Rehab Certification: How to Maximize Functional Recovery

Neurophysiology of Stroke: How the Principles of Neuroplasticity and Motor Learning Work Together

Mechanisms of neuroplasticity- why and how the brain reorganizes
Recovery of motor control vs. compensations
How the brain uses habituation, adaptation and compensation for functionality
Therapeutic applications for introducing constraints, incentives and avoidances in neuroplasticity
Understand the difference between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke – and how that impacts rehab.
When should rehab start? When can intensity start? When is someone “neurologically ready”?
How your interventions promote change

Improve Prognosis After a Stroke: Personalize Care by Presentation, Person & Performance

Debunk the myths of stroke: UE vs. LE; timing; and “where gains come from”
Balance the elements challenge, gamification, success and failure to maximize neuroplasticity for each patient
Apply autonomy as a catalyst for patient engagement
Prime reward centers for possible success – beliefs are more important than we ever realized
Shift to external, goal-focused feedback to increase retention for motor skills
Spasticity vs tone: differences, precursors and the treatments for each
Goal action coupling – and how this can deepen patient engagement

Promote Return and Choice in the Affected UE: Improve Best Practices for Recovery

Time spent, time expectations and repetitions are largely under-dosed for UE
Why you may want to focus on the hand first instead of the shoulder
Integrate tasks that force sensory information and motor contribution
Induce neuroplasticity with graded motor imagery: L/R discrimination and mirror therapy
Utilize bilateral challenges to increase mirror neuron benefit, intensity, gamification, accountability and functionality
Forced use applications for UE
Applications in overtraining: HIIT, error-enhanced learning and amplifying error
Add a dual task to increase intensity and attention

Promote Return of Function and Symmetry in the LE, Gait & Balance

Forced use applications for LE
HIIT and High-intensity gait training
- What is HIIT, what isn’t, and why we use it...
Tools for assisted functional recovery: weight-bearing tasks in function: transfers, ADL, standing
Defining improved gait... Independence, efficiency, quality, distance, speed?
Novel clinical applications: motivational and exercise attributes

Patient Engagement: Facilitate Compliance, Intensity and Attendance

Apply the principles of behavioral economics to movement: confirmation bias, nudge, gamification, familiarity bias, and loss aversion
Self-efficacy is malleable and may be the most powerful variable across all severities of stroke
Utilize the physiological tools of behavioral economics to apply nudge, gamification, and choice architecture
Understand the dynamic balance of autonomy in treatment
Fear: overcome with habituation, desensitization, reward cycle replacement, self-efficacy and wins.
