Motor relearning a problem solving approach: Theoretical and practical applications in neurorehabilitation

Presenter: Gemma Alder, Neurological Physiotherapy Services.

Organiser: Physiotherapy New Zealand, Neurology Special Interest Group.

FOUR LOCATIONS ACROSS NEW ZEALAND
Auckland, Christchurch, Palmerston North, Dunedin

Suitable for Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists with an interest in neurological rehabilitation.

This is a 2-day course exploring the current scientific theories around motor learning in health and the injured brain, with a particular focus on motor learning post stroke. Participants will further their understanding of learning and memory by discussing how this may develop on a range of levels (cellular, molecular, systems and behavioural).

Key research in learning dependent changes post-stroke will be critically appraised, and factors that promote and impede motor learning will be examined. Interactive workshops, case study examples and discussions of leading treatments will provide opportunities for participants to consider how to apply the principles of experience dependent plasticity and task oriented practice, in order to maximise motor learning in the various clinical settings.
