These courses are offered in cooperation with Elsevier Health and utilize the hardback textbook, “Stroke Rehabilitation: A Function-Based Approach, 4th Edition” by Glen Gillen, EdD, OTR, FAOTA.

Learn to confidently manage the growing number of stroke rehabilitation clients with these exciting new courses! Using a holistic and multidisciplinary approach, this text remains the only comprehensive, evidence-based stroke rehabilitation resource for occupational therapists. The new edition has been extensively updated with the latest research in assessment and intervention, along with more evidence-based research added to every chapter. As with previous editions, this comprehensive reference uses an application-based method that integrates background medical information, samples of functionally based evaluations, and current treatment techniques and intervention strategies.

Module 1: covers pathophysiology, medical management and acute rehabilitation of stroke survivors, psychological aspects of stroke rehabilitation and improving participation and quality of live through occupation.

Module 2: covers the task-orientated approach, activity-based interventions in stroke rehabilitation and approaches to motor control dysfunction.

Module 3: covers trunk control, balance impairments and vestibular rehabilitation when performing stroke rehabilitation.

Module 4: covers upper extremity function and management and rehabilitation technologies to promote upper limb recovery after a stroke.

Module 5: covers edema control, splinting applications and functional mobility after a stroke.

Module 6: covers gait awareness, managing visual and visuospatial impairments to optimize function in patient who have had strokes and the impact of neurobehavioral deficits on activities of daily living.

Module 7: covers enhancing the performance of activities of daily living after a stroke, the treatment of cognitive-perceptual deficits using a function-based approach and managing speech and language deficits after a stroke.

Module 8: covers driving and community mobility as an instrumental activity of daily living, parenting after stroke, dysphagia management and sexual function and intimacy after a stroke.

Module 9 covers adaptations for activities of daily living, leisure activity participation after stroke, seating and wheeled mobility prescription and home evaluation and modifications for stroke patients.

Stroke Rehabilitation: A Function-Based Approach, 4th Edition: Module 3

Course Goals and Objectives:

Course Goals: This course is intended to instruct the student, through self-paced study, on the importance of trunk control, balance impairments and vestibular rehabilitation when performing stroke rehabilitation.

Student Objectives:

At the end of this course, the student will be able to:
1. Identify common trunk impairments that may interfere with daily function.
2. Identify the functional range of motion of the vertebral column
3. Identify components of the muscles of the abdominal wall including their location, attachments and primary actions.
4. By activity analysis, distinguish key components of trunk control required for independence in various activities of daily living.
5. Distinguish between common postural alignments and potential causes.
6. Distinguish between 3 standardized assessments for trunk control.
7. Distinguish between typical alignment and common malalignments of the trunk after stroke.
8. Identify the 5 movement patterns that evaluate trunk flexor control.
9. Identify the 4 movement patterns that evaluate trunk extensor control.
10. Analyze the possible necessary movements required to perform the activities of bridging, scooting, toileting, bathing, grooming, dressing, and eating.
11. Identify the physical components of readiness for function in a seated position.
12. Identify treatment techniques to enhance trunk control during task performance.
13. Identify the system most relied on by adults for sensory information regarding balance.
14. Identify different automatic motor responses used for postural control.
15. Identify 3 different central nervous system structures involved in balance control and recognize examples of dysfunction in those structures.
16. Identify component assessment techniques in evaluating balance dysfunction.
17. Identify components of the vestibular system.
18. Distinguish between different stroke syndromes and their effect on the vestibular system.
