Course Description

Cutting-edge research in rhythm perception and production has shown that rhythm can have a profound impact on the human motor system.  This research has been translated into a clinical intervention termed, Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS).  Through clinical research, RAS has been shown to improve functional outcomes in gait across neurologic injury and disease, including stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Cerebral Palsy.  This course will use lecture, breakout sessions, and case examples to present an overview of biomechanics, the neuroscience foundation and clinical research supporting the application of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation across neurologic diagnoses along with future directions.  The presenters will discuss how this can be clinically implemented across settings and participants will learn tangible skills to utilize during gait training with their own patients.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of the course, participants should be able to:

1. Identify neural mechanisms indicated in rhythmic entrainment and impact on neuroplasticity.
2. Understand the use of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation for multiple diagnoses in neurorehabilitation.
3. Understand where RAS fits into gait training rehabilitation and able to incorporate principles into own practice.

The ACRM Spring Meeting is a venue for face-to-face collaborating of many interdisciplinary ACRM community groups and committees — the heart of ACRM. Come find your tribe and become a member of the vibrant ACRM community.

BEST VALUE

Ridiculously inexpensive? Yep. That’s because we believe in getting the research to practice ASAP. And we think that having a low-cost to attend is a good way to do that.

Early Bird rates are as low as $49 for members and $99 for non-members — and that includes CME / CEU processing. Are you kidding me?!? Nope. See the rate tables here.

We encourage you to register early — before tickets are gone. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

WHO ATTENDS

You’re our people

ACRM attendees are all kinds of rehabilitation professionals — from researchers to clinicians (including
