Topic description
This topic is a comprehensive analysis of the key principles that need to be considered when planning the ongoing rehabilitation for a person with stroke. There is a particular emphasis on planning rehabilitation for a life beyond the acute inpatient setting. We discuss the concept of goals setting, and the role of education/support as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation plan. Students have the opportunity of following a client through part of their rehabilitation program, providing a critical review which includes a discussion of cognitive/perceptual factors that influence the rehabilitation process. Student will research current evidence for interventions in stroke (in a clinical area of their own interest) and discuss its application to clinical practice.
