Special Considerations for Right Hemisphere Stroke

Price:$99.99

Additional Information

Patients who suffer from right hemisphere stroke on average have poorer outcomes and are more often institutionalized than those with left hemisphere stroke. This isdue to a constellation of deficits and impairments that are more typical of this group. These issues can be difficult to overcome and have frustrated many a therapist attempting to help them regain functional independence. In this course we will take a hard look at the literature and outline the current state of evidence for the most effective treatment options for each of these unique conditions. This course will cover the key characteristics of hemispatial neglect and contraversivepushing. It will focus on how to objectively measure them and the impairments they cause and teach the best evidence for intervention for each of these conditions. Attendees will understand typical outcomes and prognoses so that you can better assist patients and families with planning.

Highlights

  • Review the complex presentations of patients with right hemisphere stroke
  • Latest evidence-based methods for assessment and intervention including the conditions common to this population: hemispatial neglect and contraversive pushing

Target Audience: Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Assistants

i love objective measures and really like how the golden standard objective measure was introduced (bls) and current research on up and coming objective measure scala. i would like to have seen a video example of the objective measures to practice use of them.
