I’m a bit late to this post, but just had a placement I’m neuro-rehab and found “occupational therapy and stroke“ by Judi Edmonds really really useful, it has a great breakdown of impairments (cognitive, motor, sensory etc) and interventions as well as the OT process being broken down for this specific setting, info on frames of reference, models of practice etc. Very transferable to other brain injuries too.

Hello Christine,

If you haven't already done so, you can join the RCOT specialist section; Neurological Practice. The team have a training programme called S.O.S (Starting Out in Stroke). It runs a couple of times a year. I found it very useful. All the very best.

Kind regards

Hi Christine,

Occupational therapy, Willard and spackman 11th and 12th edition have some good content on evidence based practices in neuro rehab. Vision, perception and cognition by Barbara Zoltan is another great read.. A manual with both evaluation and intervention strategies

P. S- DO CHECK OUT THE APPENDIX SECTION OF 11th edition of Willard and Spackman.. It gives brief outline disgnosis wise with latest intervention techniques/research and even assessment tools.

Hope u find this useful.

Goodluck!!

Hi. Check out www.ebrsr.com as a great overview. A Google of the GRASP programme would also be great for some self directed exercises for getting in that intensity for upper limb rehab post stroke.

BrainTree training and their courses may also be something you'd be interested in. Good luck and enjoy! It's a fascinating and rewarding world.
