Chapters & learning objectives
1. Specific Interventions Utilizing Neuroplasticity
There are many ways to facilitate neuroplasticity in people who have neurological deficits. This chapter will emphasize the key aspects of neuroplasticity and how to integrate those strategies into practice.
2. Motor Control
This chapter will highlight the applications of motor learning and the motor priming paradigm. A review of the OPTIMAL theory will set the stage for many examples and integration of autonomy, enhanced expectancy, and external focus.
3. Motor Learning Strategies
The evidence regarding the benefits of integrating motor learning strategies into practice is undeniable. This chapter will review multiple motor learning theories and address specific strategies to facilitate therapists' ability to incorporate intensity, error, and motivation into any session.
4. Neurologic Clinical Practice Guidelines for Outcome Measures
Performing consistent and standardized outcome measures provides therapists the ability to assess if their interventions are challenging enough to the patient. They can also be used as an external cue to increase motivation. This chapter will review the clinical practice guidelines provided by the Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy.
