Functional Gains in Stroke Recovery Using Therapeutic Exercise, 2nd Edition Reviews

Course release date: 10/7/2024 Course Overview Resistance training and resistive exercise are often overlooked in stroke rehab, even though research has found that it plays a part in improving cognitive function in stroke survivors. Cognitive testing revealed that both resistance training and aerobic exercise contributed to improvements in cognition at 6 months. This course provides treatment techniques and exercise protocols using resistive bands for therapists involved in neurological rehabilitation to go back to their treatment environments and immediately be able to utilize these techniques. Specific exercises are introduced, including exercises for the upper extremity, lower extremity, and core stabilization techniques to increase overall function and balance. With these techniques a therapist can go back to their treatment environments and immediately be able to utilize these techniques in their daily patient care.
