Target Audience

Physical & Occupational Therapists; Physical & Occupational Therapist Assistants

Description

Past research has purported interventions of constraint, intensity, and repetition as key factors to stroke recovery when there are strength or force generation deficits. Stroke recovery, however, is multifactorial that encompasses cognitive, motor, sensory, environmental, psychosocial components and most importantly lesion location and the extent of damage. Lesion location and damage dictates stroke impairment.

This Part 1 course defines and differentiate strength and force generation. Furthermore, the neuroanatomical origin of strength and force generation will be discussed and how either is impacted based on lesion site. Outcome measures to assess strength or force generation are reviewed. Case studies are used to apply knowledge gained using a variety of visual aids.

Objectives

Analyze strength, functional strength and force generation as it pertains to stoke impairment deficit;
Examine the role of the cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem & spinal cord in strength/force generation;
Hypothesize strength/force generation impairment origin and prognosis given the stroke lesion and other patient characteristics via review of a case study.
Prioritize strength or force generation impairments and subsequent secondary impairments given a case study;
Differentiate between strength/force generation versus functional strength given a case;
Choose the appropriate measurement tool to assess strength or force generation deficit;
Evaluate how diversity, equity, inclusion or belonging may impact prognosis using any content area of the social determinants of health.
