Objectives

Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to
1) Accurately determine areas of the cortex given the functional anatomy
2) Precisely identify one impairment typically seen during gait based on a given cortical lesion post-stroke
3) Independently devise and adapt therapeutic interventions related to muscle weakness, sensory loss, and or cognitive impairment impacting gait
4) Evaluate and correctly match gait impairments to cortical lesion location seen post-stroke given a case study

Pre Study: Plan to read the course materials, references and review the post test before the start time. Also please be prepared to share patient case study related question during the discussion time. (Allow 30 minutes for these study tasks)

Description

The focus is on increased understanding and application of therapeutic interventions to improve abnormal neurologic gait patterns observed from lesions in the cortex. This course will review typical stroke lesions of the cortex and describe resulting impairments that may be observed during gait. Using a systems approach, physical therapy practitioners will be instructed how to formulate interventions within their scope of practice and establish and or follow a plan of care to improve gait impairments. The presentation will utilize a case-based approach to demonstrate and summarize application of material. (intermediate level)
