This two day, “hands-on” continuing education course is designed for those who would benefit from a more in-depth understanding of the principles of NDT. Through the use of client videos you will be able to identify how each system influences motor control and understand the impairments in each system that impede your clients’ abilities to recover function. Your clinical reasoning will be improved through an understanding of neuroplasticity, resulting in your ability to select methodologies that match the etiology of CVA. Through self-experience labs you will learn how components of movement of the trunk influence each other, and understand how they influence the involved UE for active weight bearing and reach, and the involved LE for the stance and swing phases of gait. You will learn to provide effective interventions for your acute clients who are unable to control the trunk posture in sitting due to impairments causing poor head and trunk control. You will also learn what to expect and what to do when your clients attempt the transition from sit to stand. You will be provided with treatment ideas for achieving functional outcomes for your clients, including increased safety and independence. Using “hands-on”, you will learn how to access components of movement of the trunk and LE’s required for the sub-phases of sit to stand, stand to sit, and for transfers. Facilitation of bed mobility will be demonstrated. You will gain an increased appreciation of the effect NDT can have on your clients’ recovery of function. You will also be provided with examples of documentation for achievable, reimbursable, discipline specific functional outcomes using NDT.
