Much of the information available on rehabilitation post stroke focuses on the acute and subacute phases of recovery; however, it is imperative for therapists to prioritize long-term management of deficits.
This course will help bridge the gap of providing evidence-based care while focusing on long-term management of stroke. The focus will be on providing efficient and realistic clinical applications to achieve the greatest impact and decrease the risk of permanent disability.
