Learning Outcomes
By the end of the 3 days, participants will be able to:
- Name the essential components of normal reach and manipulation.
- Recognise common compensations when observing stroke survivors attempting to grasp objects, and explain how to minimise compensatory strategies.
- Name and discuss factors thought to contribute to the development of muscle overactivity, spasticity and stiffness, and intervention strategies to help minimise these secondary problems.
- Explain the relationship and differences between overactivity, spasticity, muscle length changes and stiffness, missing essential components and compensations.
- Plan and conduct an assessment and training session with a stroke survivor using motor learning principles and task-specific practice.
- Discuss factors which affect motor learning, and can be modified to enhance learning and increase client practice.
- Use an electrical stimulation machine to stimulate upper limb muscles.
- Discuss current evidence for constraint-induced movement therapy, mental practice, mirror box therapy and electrical stimulation for improving upper limb motor recovery.
