Innovative Approaches to Improve Upper Extremity Outcomes After Acquired Brain Injury

2:00 PM - 2:30 PM

Abstract(s)

This section of the course will focus on current opportunities to promote upper extremity recovery after acquired brain injury. Novel technologies including robotics, vibration, and functional electrical stimulation will be reviewed along with case study presentation of clinical application. The clinical practice guideline to guide upper extremity recovery after brain injury will be discussed along with the challenges and opportunities associated with integration. A review of recommended outcome measures to assess progress will be addressed throughout the severity spectrum. Experiential learning will be facilitated in a lab-based session with advanced technologies.
