This course will use current principles of neuroplasticity as a framework to present therapeutic exercise and functional mobility training strategies for the rehabilitation of individuals post-stroke. Application of principles of repetition, progression, forced use, specificity of practice, and salience will be presented. Additionally, this course will translate evidence from clinical trials to intervention strategies for those post-stroke to ensure appropriate functional challenge and progression to optimize recovery.
