Interdisciplinary Perspectives to Functional Measurement and Assessment of the Stroke Survivor

PRE-CONFERENCE COURSE Friday 28 SEPT 2018
8:30 AM – 5:30 PM Location: Coronado C

DESCRIPTION

Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability in the United States. Given stroke can affect all aspects of bodily function and abilities, multiple measurements and assessments are administered across disciplines. These measurements are critical in evaluating function and providing effective care for the stroke survivor. Clinical knowledge of various standardized assessments is required of all medical professionals to create effective goals for stroke patients to achieve functional outcomes.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Describe rationale and importance for accurate measurements and assessments of the stroke patient
Describe one measurement/assessment utilized in stroke recovery for the areas of cognition, speech/language, motor of upper extremities, and motor of lower extremities
