Stroke can cause profound disability, and optimal rehabilitation can improve the functional capability of stroke survivors. Spasticity is a common disabling impairment post stroke, and can be very difficult to manage.
Hear from leaders in the field as they expound on the current understanding of the neurophysiology of spasticity, and its medical and physical management, including the use of functional electrical stimulation. This workshop also aims to inspire and empower participants in the use of technology and behavioural approaches to optimise recovery post stroke via lectures, practicals, patient demonstration and case studies.
The course seeks to provide course participants with advance knowledge and skills in the assessment and management of spasticity and its impact of the functional outcomes of patients. Additionally, the course teaches participants strategies to improve patients’ adherence to exercise programmes.
At the completion of the workshop, the following objectives will be achieved:
