31st Annual Stroke Course: The Motor Highway

Click Here for Course Brochure This is a virtual course. Attend lectures, workshops and small-group discussions on a live video conference platform.  DESCRIPTIONThe brain uses trillions of neural connections to send and receive information. Following a stroke, a patient immediately begins to repair pathways and create new connections for continued function and recovery. This course aims to examine the complexity of our motor pathways, their impact on daily function and activity and their role in recovery from stroke.This two-day course will travel down the highway of function for our motor pathways, the factor of neuroplasticity in recovery and what current outside interventions can aid with regaining motor function. The latest research and ongoing efforts in studying the mechanisms of neuroplasticity will be merged throughout the course in terms of brain repair and functional recovery after stroke. We will explore the role of motor learning principles in optimizing feedback, pract
