Interventions for Neurological Diagnoses: Mat Interventions

Course overview

Geriatric patients with neurological deficits will present with a range of functional abilities. Clinicians will benefit from the addition of strategies to their intervention repertoire in order to provide the most efficacious treatment. All patients, regardless of the nuances of their specific neurological diagnosis and their function, need to progress through the basic movement patterns described in this course. Join Dr. Wing to learn how to apply the appropriate strategies for intervention to build on a patient’s current abilities and functional needs toward improving quality of life. A progression of interventions for patients with various neurological disorders will be demonstrated to facilitate motor control and postural transitions through interventions in a variety of postures and activities from the mat to functional mobility.
