Potential Unleashed: iSCI and TBI Rehab
Presented by J.J. Mowder-Tinney
Tailored for therapists seeking to advance their expertise in neurological rehabilitation, this dynamic course offers a comprehensive exploration of two prevalent conditions: incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Participants will gain insights into treating patients in acute care and outpatient settings, emphasizing the integration of evidence-based interventions and focusing on incorporating intensity and motor learning strategies grounded in the OPTIMAL theory.
Throughout the course, therapists will learn to prioritize interventions for immediate implementation, with a central focus on leveraging these principles to optimize rehabilitation outcomes and enhance the quality of life for individuals affected by iSCI and TBI.
Learning Objectives
- Examine iSCI and TBI pathophysiology and clinical signs to inform targeted, intensity-focused rehabilitation strategies
- Analyze the OPTIMAL theory and its relevance in neurological rehabilitation for optimizing outcomes through intensity and motor learning principles
- Prioritize interventions for immediate implementation in acute care and inpatient rehabilitation for iSCI and TBI
- Examine environmental adjustments in acute care and inpatient rehabilitation to optimize intensity for iSCI and TBI patients’ specific needs and priorities to ensure increased participation in daily occupations
- Integrate interventions into outpatient rehabilitation, emphasizing prioritization and immediate application
- Analyze environmental modifications to enhance outpatient rehabilitation intensity, tailored to the unique needs of individuals with iSCI and TBI to ensure increased participation in daily occupations

Chapters & learning objectives
1. Exploring the Influence of Intensity on Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury (iSCI) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Rehabilitation
This content provides an overview of the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of iSCI and TBI, followed by an introduction to the OPTIMAL theory in neurological rehabilitation. It also explores the role of intensity and motor learning principles in enhancing rehabilitation outcomes for individuals with iSCI and TBI.
2. Prioritizing Interventions for Immediate Implementation in the Acute Care/Inpatient Rehab Setting
This content delves into strategies for seamlessly integrating interventions into acute care and inpatient rehabilitation settings, alongside distinguishing environmental modifications to enhance intensity, specifically tailored to individuals with iSCI and TBI. Additionally, it involves interactive case studies and hands-on demonstrations to exemplify the effective application of intensity and motor learning strategies in rehabilitation.
3. Prioritizing Interventions for Immediate Application in Outpatient Settings
This content examines tactics for seamlessly integrating interventions into outpatient settings while differentiating environmental modifications to enhance intensity tailored to individuals with iSCI and TBI. Additionally, it involves interactive case studies and hands-on demonstrations to exemplify the effective application of intensity and motor learning strategies in outpatient rehabilitation.
