Neurological Rehabilitation

About this course

Evidence-based neurological rehabilitation techniques

Learning objectives

• Perform systematic neurological assessments and apply clinical reasoning to evaluation of neurological conditions.
• Describe stroke rehabilitation principles, neuroplasticity concepts, and evidence-based treatment approaches across recovery phases.
• Evaluate traumatic brain injury severity using standardized tools and describe management strategies across the recovery continuum.
• Classify spinal cord injuries using standardized systems and identify expected functional outcomes by neurological level.
• Describe assessment and intervention strategies for Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders.
• Identify the clinical features of multiple sclerosis and apply appropriate assessment and intervention strategies.
• Evaluate peripheral neuropathy and nerve injury presentations and describe rehabilitation approaches.
• Address advanced complications, safety considerations, and community reintegration strategies for SCI and TBI populations.
• Identify post-stroke complications and secondary prevention strategies for cerebrovascular disease.
• Adapt neurological rehabilitation approaches for special populations, including pediatric, geriatric, and medically complex patients.
• Select and interpret neurological outcome measures and develop evidence-based discharge plans.
• Describe emerging technologies and future directions in neurological rehabilitation practice.
