If you're passionate about working with patients who have neurologic conditions, you already know the challenges that come with upper extremity rehabilitation.

Specifically, shoulder impairments caused by hemiplegia, spasticity, and subluxation are some of the most complex and frustrating problems for both patients and clinicians.

For therapists, the journey to help someone regain normal movement patterns after neurologic impairment can often feel like an uphill battle, especially when it comes to managing pain, joint subluxation, and spasticity in the neurologic shoulder.

It’s rewarding when you can help a patient regain shoulder function and independence, but how do you approach this when the conditions seem impossible to manage?

Whether you’re working with stroke survivors, clients with hemiparesis, or others with neurologic shoulder issues, the challenges you face can sometimes leave you feeling unsure about the next steps.

You may even be wondering...

How do I manage hemiplegia and subluxation effectively in the upper extremity to prevent damage or pain?

What are the best evidence-based strategies for spasticity management in the upper extremity?

How can I design treatment interventions that actually lead to better outcomes i.e. the patient can use their arm functionally again?!

If these questions have crossed your mind, you're going to love what we’ve created for you!
