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.

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!!

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

    Reflexes integration

    Hello dear OT's, I am wondering how many of you use therapy input for treating retained reflexes? And maybe some of you or you know some OT's who has done a case study or MSc on this topic? Thank you for your feedback very much! Jasmine

    Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

    Hello, I'm a new member. I am both an M.E patient and advocate. I also own an online training company that teaches about M.E./C.F.S. I would be interested to hear from any OT who has looked after M.E./C.F.S patients. How did they respond to your support? What support did you offer and did the support have positive patient outcomes? Thanks!
