Nonfinancial: Angela Reimer has no competing nonfinancial interests or relationships with regard to the content presented in this course.
Evidence shows that salience and use are two major drivers for neuroplasticity and upper extremity recovery. Prioritizing the goals and needs of patients is challenging in the current healthcare environment, and there is little guidance available on integrating ADL tasks into treatment sessions. This course will provide a rationale for the use of ADLs as a treatment modality for upper extremity recovery. The course will also provide treatment ideas that can be immediately integrated into practice.
