Confirmation Notes
Agenda
Part I (1:10)
Dr. Lichy performs an initial evaluation on a patient
she has never treated before. You will see the
subjective intake questions, objective tests and
measures for upper extremity, trunk, and lower
extremity impairments in a patient with right
hemiparesis. You will also see the evidence based
tools used to assess sitting and standing balance,
and gait dysfunction.
Part II (1:20)
Treatment following the initial evaluation includes
innovative upper extremity, trunk, and lower
extremity treatment ides in sitting and standing.
Creative balance, transfers, and gait training ideas
and tools are demonstrated. Progression, treatment
ideas and home exercise plans are demonstrated &
discussed.
Part III (1:10)
Responding to questions from Dr. Lewis, Dr. Lichy
explores her clinical decision making from the initial
evaluation through the clinical decision process.
Part IV (1:20)
Explore what and why specific treatments were
chosen. Learn how to think about evidence-based
practice and how to incorporate it into your daily
routine.
Description
Welcome to A Master Clinician Confronts Stroke. The best way to learn is from a master! Watch Alison Lichy, PT, DPT, NCS, evaluate and treat a real patient she has just met and then discuss her clinical decision-making. Learn why she chooses the tools and techniques she uses as she reviews her evaluation and treatment sessions with Carole B. Lewis, PT, DPT, GCS, GTC, CCOEE, MPA, MSG, PhD, FAPTA. Observe proper execution of evidence-based interventions. Five hours of live video put you in the same room with a master clinician demonstrating cutting edge practice. This course will review different options and approaches in the treatment of hemiparesis in chronic stroke and how you can apply this content to your patients with stoke.
