Description

Acquired brain injury outcomes depend on lesion location, size, and severity. Gait is the highest level of function that individuals want to achieve post injury. This course will use the platform of stroke rehabilitation to address gait analysis and treatment in the hospital setting and provide a framework of care that can be used in inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation. Furthermore, participants will be given a list of factors to consider when creating long term plans for community-based activities to maintain and enhance gait outcomes for safe functional mobility to participate in life roles.

*Courses may be rescheduled/cancelled due to low registration.*

Presenter:
Jennifaye V. Brown, PT, MSPT, PhD, NCS, CAPS
Jennifaye V. Brown, PT, MSPT, PhD, NCS, CAPS has 35 years of clinical experience focused in neurorehabilitation across the continuum of care and has presented numerous continuing education courses on adult neurologic assessment and treatment intervention for acquired brain injury, particularly stroke. Her primary research explored the perceptions of individuals with stroke regarding their experiences with AFO fabrication, modification and maintenance and how the AFO impact walking and participation in life roles.

Objectives

• Analyze gait to properly provide interventions that reduce impairment and facilitate safe walking.
• Devise interventions at the body/structure function and activity levels that align with social determinants of health.
• Determine how to best prepare the lower and upper extremity for safe walking.
• Choose the best assistive device to assure safe walking in various environments.
• Evaluate medical history, current body/structure function and activity level impairments, and social circumstances to determine an optimal community-based walking plan post discharge from therapy services.
• Integrate information learned that can be immediately applied to neurologic rehabilitation practice.
