Understanding Stroke

Working with Stroke

Working with Stroke

Globally, there are over 101 million people currently living with a stroke and over 12.2 million new strokes occur each year. A stroke is caused by a disruption in blood flow to a part of the brain when a blood vessel either ruptures or becomes blocked resulting in some sort of brain damage. The impairments and disability that a person with a stroke experiences is widely variable and depends on the size of the brain lesion and which part(s) of the brain are damaged.

Learning objectives

  • Gain an understanding of the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology underlying the causes, types and symptoms of stroke conditions
  • Learn tips and strategies on how to manage common symptoms and sensorimotor impairments such as spasticity, hypotonia, pain, perceptual deficits, weakness and tightness
  • Learn about exercise design focusing on core control, mobility, strength, balance and gait
  • Learn how to promote change (neuroplasticity) in movement patterning and motor learning to enhance their movement potential

Note: It is highly recommended to take the following three courses prior to this one: The Somatic Nervous System and the Sensory Receptors, The Sensory Systems and Their Role in Motor Control, and The Motor Systems (formerly combined as the Neurophysiology 101 course).
