Stroke Remains a leading cause of long-term disability, with the majority of individuals affected being over the age of 55. This two-day, intermediate-level course is designed for physical and occupational therapists and applicable for speech therapists working in the hospital, outpatient settings and across the care continuum, who are seeking practical, evidence-based strategies to optimize stroke rehabilitation across the continuum of care. The course emphasizes high-impact interventions for older adults, while integrating the unique clinical considerations of younger stroke survivors as they naturally arise in practice. In the context of decreasing lengths of stay and increasing productivity demands, participants will learn to identify critical neurologic impairments early in the episode of care and understand their functional implications for movement, cognition, communication and behavior. Emphasis is placed on efficient clinical decision-making, treatment prioritization, and the development of progressive, patient centered rehabilitation programs applicable across settings and levels of severity. Instruction combines current evidence-based practice guidelines with hands-on laboratory sessions and in-depth case-based learning. Case studies integrate neuroanatomy, cognitive-communication considerations, medical comorbidities, and home program development, with selected cases representing both older adults and individuals under age 55 to demonstrate how age-related factors influence rehabilitation strategies. Hands-on lab focus on movement analysis, gait, postural control and hemiplegic shoulder management, while addressing common barriers to recovery such as fatigue, hypertonicity, and motor learning impairments. Evidence-based clinical decision-making frameworks form the foundation of the course Participants will leave with practical, adaptable template for managing complex stroke cases across the lifespan, supporting safe discharge and community reintegration, and delivering high-quality, compliant care within current documentation and billing guidelines.
