Module Learning Outcomes/Objectives:
- Critically explore the theories of pathophysiological processes underpinning neurological rehabilitation
- Explore the biomechanical changes in soft tissues following stroke
- Evaluate the classification systems for stroke and disease
- Critically appraise current practice and recent developments in neurological rehabilitation and stroke care and the implications these have for patient management
- Critically appraise current evidence in relation to neurological rehabilitation
- Critically evaluate national clinical and management guidelines that impact on neurological rehabilitation
Module session dates
Induction for new students recommended - 24 Sept 2012
Session Dates 1-4 Oct 2012
• To develop knowledge and critical understanding of theory pertinent to neurological rehabilitation
• To develop knowledge and critical analysis of current best practice in neurological rehabilitation
• To facilitate clinical decision making through use of evidence based practice in the management of patients with complex neurological problems
The course is aimed primarily at therapists and other health professionals interested in neurological rehabilitation, considered on an individual basis. Experience or understanding of clinical aspects of neurological rehabilitation would be advantageous. Candidates should normally have a first or second-class honours degree in a relevant professional or academic area. Candidates without degrees may be considered on an individual basis.
