Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Course

Objectives

Day-1. Motor-activity interventions in cerebral palsy

Following completion delegates will have an improved understanding of: ​

  • Why propositional knowledge is required for clinical reasoning

  • Defining and describing the clinically observable disorders of cerebral palsy

  • Linking clinically observable disorders of cerebral palsy to treatment modalities

  • The role of treatment adjuncts including botulinum toxin

  • Understanding the importance of targeted activity

 

​Day-2.Motor behaviour and its Application to Treatment of the Child with

 Cerebral Palsy​​

Following completion delegates will have an improved understanding of: ​

  • Motor behaviour and how it can guide clinical practice.

  • How  to identify what is limiting activity and function in cerebral palsy

  • Key features of motor behaviour and how they can be used to guide practice

  • Recognising how current knowledge on motor behaviour can promote structured activity.

 

Day-3: Goal setting, activity-focused interventions and measuring outcomes using a published model and the International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF) Framework

Following completion delegates will have an improved understanding of: ​

  • Application of a published model of activity-focused interventions 

  • How to use the International Classification of Functioning to set the goal and select the outcome measure

Course objectives

​

Following completion of the course delegates will have an improved understanding of:

  • The common presenting motor disorders of cerebral palsy and how they can be recognised, how they interfere with activity and function.

  • How the motor disorders can be linked to therapy treatment modalities and their adjuncts.

  • An overview of typical motor development and learning  and how it can be applied to guide clinical practice

  • The importance of targeted activity in the treatment of children with cerebral palsy including delivery in constraint-induced movement therapy.

  • How equipment and positioning can be used to provide targeted activity.​
