FRAMEWORK FOR CLINICAL DECISION MAKING
u Nagi model of disablement
u Importance of impairments
u Differences between single and multi-system impairment
u Hypothesize, test, and prioritize potential impairments limiting function
NORMAL MOVEMENT—WITH LAB
u Commonly impaired functional tasks
- transfers
- gait
- ADLs
u Range of motion requirements for normal movement
u Strength and motor control requirements for normal movement
COMMON IMPAIRMENTS/DYSFUNCTION FOLLOWING STROKE (WITH VIDEO ANALYSIS)
u Lateral weight shifts
u Limited quadriceps recruitment/sustained contractions
u Limited glutegluteus maximus/medius recruitment/sustained contractions
u Poor anterior weight translations in closed chain tasks
u Limited scapular stabilization
u Limited postural control
MOTOR CONTROL, MOTOR LEARNING PRINCIPLES, AND TREATMENT APPLICATION
u Performance vs. learning
u Impact of feedback on learning
u Setting up practice sessions for maximal learning
DEVELOPING TREATMENT INTERVENTIONS FROM IDENTIFIED IMPAIRMENTS—LAB
u Creating interventions based on commonly seen impairments
u Progressing interventions for continued benefits
u Creating effective home exercise programs
