A Master Clinician Confronts Stroke
Welcome to A Master Clinician Confronts Stroke. The best way to learn is from a master! Watch Alison Lichy, PT, DPT, NCS, evaluate and treat a real patient she has just met and then discuss her clinical decision-making. Learn why she chooses the tools and techniques she uses as she reviews her evaluation and treatment sessions with Dr. Lewis. Observe proper execution of evidence-based interventions. Five hours of live video put you in the same room with a master clinician demonstrating cutting edge practice. This course will review different options and approaches in the treatment of hemiparesis in chronic stroke and how you can apply this content to your patients with stoke.
What participants are saying . . .
“Loved the treatment ideas that I can use in my clinic”
“It was great to see work with the whole body; shoulder, trunk, hip, ankle and how these are all important. It was a reminder not just to focus on one area of the body in treatment.”
“I appreciated the realness of it, the fact that there was a real patient with real comments and responses (verbal and physical) just like in the clinical setting”
“I enjoyed seeing how the therapist really challenged her pt out of their comfort level. Which will challenge me to do so in the future.”
