Clinical Applications of Contemporary Motor and Neural Plasticity Theories
Credits: 2 continuing education hours (.2 CEUs) clock hours available upon request
Audience: PT, PTAs, OT, COTAs, SLPs, SLPs & assistants
This two-hour recorded webinar reviews current theories for motor control, motor development, and neuroplasticity. Concerns and red flags for atypical development will be discussed. Both behavioral signals/concepts that impact neuroplasticity will be highlighted with applications to clinical practice explored. A case presentation will be used to help to understand theories and how one can put into practice.
Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
- Review Motor Theories - Dynamic Systems Theories and NGST.
- Identify themes for motor development and motor learning to apply to clinical practice.
- Define neural plasticity and identify 6 behavior signals that enhance neural plasticity.
- Give examples of how they might apply information to their clinical practice.
