NDT Advanced Course in the Management and Treatment of the Hemiparetic Upper Extremity

This five-day course is designed for physical and occupational therapists interested in further developing their assessment and treatment skills to enhance functional recovery of the hemiparetic upper extremity.  The interrelationship of the upper extremity with various body segments and systems is emphasized.   Analysis of functional tasks, specifically the movement components that contribute to a person's independent performance of tasks will be addressed. 

This course consists of lecture, handling lab sessions, patient treatment and demonstrations.  Advanced patient handling skills will be developed inter-actively through problem-solving activities and handling with other participants.  The instructors will provide feedback and direction to the course participants during the patient treatment sessions.
