Course Description:
Past research has purported interventions of constraint, intensity, and repetition as key factors to stroke recovery when there are strength or force generation deficits. Stroke recovery, however, is multifactorial that encompasses cognitive, motor, sensory, environmental, psychosocial components and most importantly lesion location and the extent of damage. Lesion location and damage dictates stroke impairment. The key to maximizing outcomes is choosing the appropriate measurement tool to assess lesion specific stroke deficits affiliated with strength and or force generation. This course defines and differentiates strength and force generation. Furthermore, the neuroanatomical origin and the impact of lesion site on strength and or force generation is discussed. This course addresses the clinical reasoning processes to determine assessment and treatment of stroke deficits affiliated with strength or force generation. Treatment interventions will be supported by evidence-based practice
