Course Content:

This course is designed for allied health professionals working in the neuro rehab space – whatever your level of experience! Whether you’re just beginning to explore electrical stimulation, or have been using it for years, this course offers you a practical, evidence-based framework to help individuals living with neurological conditions regain meaningful arm and hand function.

Get updated with the latest evidence and learn how to use electrical stimulation in a task-specific, goal-directed way to optimise your patient/client outcomes. This course includes plenty of video demonstration/case study content and time for hands-on practice.

Learning Objectives:

• Apply the principles of neuroplasticity and motor learning theory to electrical stimulation and neurological rehabilitation
• Learn the various electrical stimulation types used in neuro rehab
• Compare the latest evidence for cyclical vs. functional electrical stimulation
• Understand the effect of electrical stimulation on neuroplasticity
• Combine electrical stimulation with other advanced rehab technologies
• Prescribe parameters for a range of presentations
• Electrode placement for all muscles of the arm and hand, including shoulder subluxation, scapular stability/mobility and reaching and grasping
• Use electrical stimulation in a task-specific way for retraining various reach and grasp patterns, including fine motor
• Apply learning with hands-on practice, demonstrations and real-life case studies
• Bring your own electrical stimulation machine if you have one, there will be limited machines available for practice
