Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) is a treatment approach that therapists/health care practitioners use to promote recovery in an individual who has suffered a neurological injury. The research indicates that individuals who suffer from a neurological injury need a lot of practice of their more involved side to drive neuroplasticity. Whenever possible, it is critical that our interactions with our patients are therapeutic and encourage recovery.
This one-day virtual workshop will allow members of the health care team to problem solve various functional activities at the bedside and explore ways to assist our patients perform these activities in a more therapeutic way. It will focus on ways to engage the patient so that they are actively participating and promoting use of the more involved side. The workshop will contain didactic information, group breakout sessions, detailed lab information with handouts, and videos to watch. The session with have live, virtual interaction with the instructor throughout the workshop.
There is also an optional lab component for those individuals who would like time to practice the labs and receive live virtual feedback from the instructor. Individuals who register for this component will need to have a colleague, family member or friend, who is available for the lab practice.
Upon completion of this workshop the participants will be able to: understand the research supporting recovery of an individual who has suffered a neurological injury; identify components of typical bed mobility and activities in sitting; explore how to set up a patient and facilitate bed mobility and activities in sitting, to promote recovery in an individual who has neurological impairments.
