Dorian Rose
PT, PhD
Dorian Rose, PhD, PT holds a dual appointment as a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at the University of Florida and a Research Health Scientist at the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville, FL. Dr. Rose's interests as a researcher, educator, and clinician are in adult neurorehabilitation. In addition to teaching at the University of Florida, Dr. Rose has spoken at the state level, nationally and internationally on the assessment and rehabilitation of individuals post-stroke. Her research interests are in developing intervention strategies based on principles of neuroplasticity and motor learning for the rehabilitation of post-stroke motor control deficits of both the upper extremity and gait. She is currently Principal Investigator of an American Heart Association funded clinical trial, "A Novel Strategy to Decrease Fall Incidence Post-Stroke" and two VA RR&D funded trials: 1) "Biofeedback to Increase Propulsion during Walking after Stroke" and 2) "A Novel Strategy to Decease Fall-Incidence Post-Stroke." She has also served as PI on two externally funded trials examining the use of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation as an adjuvant to functional task practice to improve arm recovery post-stroke.
Dr. Rose contributed to two national multi-site clinical trials that rigorously examined two unique post-stroke interventions: 1) the Extremity Constraint Induced Therapy Evaluation (EXCITE) trial that examined Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) for the paretic upper extremity post-stroke and 2) the Locomotor Experience Applied Post-Stroke (LEAPS) trial that examined locomotor training on a treadmill with body-weight support for the recovery of walking ability post-stroke. Dr. Rose received her physical therapy degree from Daemen College, her Master's Degree in Human Movement Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and her Ph.D. in Biokinesiology from the University of Southern California. Dr. Rose maintains professional membership in the American Physical Therapy Association, the American Heart/American Stroke Association and the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine.

Presented by Dorian Rose, PT, PhD
Using Neuroplasticity Principles to Guide Therapeutic Intervention Post-Stroke
This course will use current principles of neuroplasticity as a framework to present therapeutic exercise and functional mobility training strategies for the rehabilitation of individuals post-stroke. Application of principles of repetition, progression, forced use, specificity of practice, and salience will be presented. Additionally, this course will translate evidence from clinical trials to intervention strategies for those post-stroke to ensure appropriate functional challenge and progression to optimize recovery.
Upper Extremity Strategies Along the Post-Stroke Recovery Continuum
Presented by Dorian Rose, PT, PhD
Upper Extremity Strategies Along the Post-Stroke Recovery Continuum
Functional recovery of the upper extremity is a frequent challenge for those with post-stroke hemiparesis, with residual UE impairment occurring in 70% to 80% of our clients. These deficits can prevent ADL independence and lead to decreased quality of life. The degree of arm recovery varies widely and clinicians need to be equipped to provide appropriate therapeutic intervention across the continuum of recovery, from those with little to no movement to those with mild coordination deficits. This course will present current rehabilitation approaches across the broad spectrum of upper extremity recovery seen in individuals post-stroke.
Predicting Recovery and Setting Appropriate Upper Extremity Goals Post-Stroke
Presented by Dorian Rose, PT, PhD
Predicting Recovery and Setting Appropriate Upper Extremity Goals Post-Stroke
While regaining walking ability following stroke is common, functional recovery of the upper extremity presents a more frequent challenge for those with post-stroke hemiparesis. Residual UE impairment in 70% to 80% of our clients leads to difficulties in ADLs and engagement in community life. The degree of arm recovery varies widely and clinicians need to be equipped to educate their patients and caregivers regarding prognosis and the underlying mechanisms of the heterogeneity observed in recovery of the upper extremity. This course will provide tools for clinicians to make evidence-based predictions of arm recovery for best utilization of treatment resources and goal-setting.
