Fundamentals of Effective Therapeutic Exercise Part One

Course overview

When treating geriatric patients with neurological impairments, it is helpful to have a consistent, yet flexible approach. In this course Dr. Kay Wing, introduces layers of facilitation which, when used in conjunction with each other, enhance the response of the patient to the therapist’s intervention regardless of their diagnosis or deficits. Using these principles of effective intervention within each treatment session will maximize benefit to the patient throughout all stages of recovery. This is the first part in a two-part lecture series on the layers of facilitation and provides the theoretical foundation for interventions in three demonstration-based courses.
