By the year 2050, one in every 5 people living in the United States will be in the age category of 65 or older thus resulting in a surge of musculoskeletal and neurological disorders. These trends will necessitate effective, non- invasive treatment strategies to address impairments associated with conditions such as hemiplegia, edema, and changes in muscle tone. Stroke related physical disabilitiesinclude but are not limited to edema, hypertonicity, hypotonicity, lack of coordination, contractures, and skin breakdown.

This hands-on one day workshop is designed to guide participants through effective, non- invasive treatment techniques for tone inhibition, edema reduction, increasing mobility of the upper extremity, realignment of the capitate bone, improving fine motor coordination of the hemiplegic hand, personalized Neurological Fine Motor Coordination (FMC) Activities "bag of tricks", and movement strategies for imbalance of the antagonist and agonist muscles toward flexion/extension of the upper extremity. Participants will focus on the fundamentals and techniques of Neurological FMC as well as specific applications appropriate for persons with stroke to improve independence with ADLs, IADLs, and Leisure Performance. This workshop will provide participants with functional reimbursable techniques they can immediately integrate into their treatments that can be used in virtually any environment with few contraindications.
