In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Fear is the most pervasive barrier inhibiting recovery and function across the life span. Fear-avoidant behavior is well established as a reason not to move. However, fear also impacts how we move (symmetry, speed, compensations), offering opportunities for intervention. Changes due to fear include reduced step length, foot clearance, and gait speed for persons with fear of falling; urgency in those with incontinence; limited head motion for those with fear of dizziness; gait deviations, word-finding difficulties, and altered UE biomechanics after stroke; depression in MCI; and movement substitutions to retrieve something from the floor or arise to standing for those in fear of pain. Functionally, we see the consequence of reduced participation (movement, social, vocational) as an unfortunate and unnecessary commonality of all. The time has come for PTs, OTs, and SLPs to recognize that we must directly treat fear itself, not just as a consequence of physical impairments (imbalance, weakness, pain, tone, dizziness) or cognitive impairments (word-finding, reduced working memory). We must come together in addressing fear directly, accomplishing this by systematically addressing the common threads of maladaptive neuroplasticity (sensory, motor, psychological) that lead to altered motor control and limited participation emanating from fear.

While we as rehabilitation professionals know that the techniques to facilitate movement in a flaccid upper extremity and lower extremity are similar, we may not know how to improve each as movement emerges. Can you name three ways to "force" movement and drive neuroplasticity in motor control or sensory recovery? What principles and applications do we have evidence for when it comes to rehabilitating automized UE and LE skilled movement (movement that is accomplished without thinking)? Are these techniques different for UE and LE recovery? This webinar will address these critical questions and more to help you build your expertise in post-stroke recovery.

Disease modification, compensation, and rehabilitation for Parkinson's disease (PD) are three different tracts. Within these, it is common to see the rehabilitation for Parkinson's disease discussed as "one approach" and oversimplified into a one-size-fits-all schema. This course will further delineate the subtypes of PD, include a thorough discussion of the various subtypes (phenotypes), and begin to ascribe treatment strategies specific to each presentation. We will address the primary symptoms in PD. Thereafter, the course builds on this well-established classification paradigm for patients with primary tremor and rigidity and those with primary dyskinesia, freezing of gait, posture, and festination. Clinicians in the audience will be invited to use the paradigm to further the discussion of subtyping PD and researching within these categories as well as extend into matters of compensation and disease modification. We will provide video and case study application across three different classifications of Parkinson's disease and reveal applicable treatment strategies that are salient for all rehabilitation professionals in the acute, home, inpatient (SNF and IRF), and outpatient settings.

Have you been practicing neurologic rehabilitation for a few years or completed a neuro residence? Are you bored by the same basic continuing education shouts for more intensity? Do you find yourself looking for advanced application-based courses? You may be ready for Stroke Rehabilitation: The Advanced Interventions. In this recorded webinar, we will address and show evidence-based, targeted stroke rehabilitation interventions to promote greater functional recovery through central (neuroplastic) avenues, peripheral (fitness-based) resources, and psychological (patient engagement, attention, intensity) mechanisms. Topics such as rebuilding automaticity, employing practical and task-specific dual-tasking, and promoting UE/LE sensory return will be covered.

In this webinar, attendees will be introduced to the six distinctly different parameters of improvement available to achieve full rehabilitation potential. For people recovering from a stroke, these include neuroplasticity, strength, muscular and cardiovascular endurance, balance, and psychological parameters. How to access these and where to focus is specific to the time after recovery, the type of stroke, individual traits, and additional personal variables. If you are ready to take your patient and your practice to the next level in stroke rehabilitation, tune in and be ready to be challenged.
