OC TH 6520 - Occupation in Motor Rehabilitation

This course is designed to provide specialized training in treatment of persons with hemiplegia. Education on methods to improve trunk control, transfers, upper extremity movement, fine motor control and functional mobility will be included using multiple frames of reference. Visual/perceptual and cognitive problems that commonly occur after a CVA or TBI will be discussed. Students will be expected to evaluate and treat one client during class time for several weeks using an occupation based approach. Students will complete an evaluation, write documentation on treatment sessions, and develop home programs for generalization of treatment strategies used in the clinic.
