Neurological Disorders

This workshop will apply new research on the relationship of cognition in mobility to allow participants to truly develop successful clinical pathways. With the insurance focus on functional outcomes, this course will provide a necessary bridge between medical complexities and functional applications. Healthcare providers are now, more than ever, asked to justify the personal meaning behind each episode of care. With this needed shift to more client-centered care, is it vital that each clinician understands emerging research and be able to apply this client-centered focus to patients in their care.

The relationship between cognition and movement has always been a complex and intricate one. Creating a foundations course which creates a holistic knowledge base for all clinicians will facilitate better plans of care, client understanding, and interdisciplinary communication which will allow the client to truly receive the best care possible. Attendees will review the latest evidence related to the assessment of neurological disorders and the development of clinical treatment plans designed to enhance patient outcomes. By developing a clear base of knowledge of not only the conditions, but also the complex relationship between cognition and mobility, participants will be able tocreate functionally-based plans of care and therapy interventions that will be successful and meaningful for each client.
