This presentation explores common stroke presentations, root-cause risk factors, and different types of strokes, with a focus on the brain’s changes post-stroke. We’ll dive into the functional components of a stroke—core, penumbra, and diaschisis—and examine how strokes in major brain areas present in clinical evaluations. Finally, we’ll outline therapeutic strategies to support comprehensive rehabilitation.
This presentation explores the neurological mechanisms that underlie HVLA (High Velocity, Low Amplitude) manipulations, revealing how targeted manipulations affect brain and nervous system function. Learn how to optimize patient outcomes by understanding the science of these techniques.
This presentation explores how assessing and training various eye movements can significantly enhance athletic performance. Learn to identify and improve visual skills such as stereopsis, convergence, VOR, saccades, and more to give athletes a competitive edge.
This presentation explores how saccadic eye movements, often completed in just 100 milliseconds, provide a critical window into assessing brain function. Learn how to assess saccades as a rapid and accurate neurological evaluation to guide your rehabilitation
Concussion Bootcamp equips participants with the latest knowledge on diagnosing, managing, and rehabilitating concussions. We start by reviewing the most up-to-date diagnostic criteria and a step-by-step process to ensure accurate diagnosis. The session then explores acute management strategies and treatment approaches for chronic concussion symptoms, with a focus on preventing long-term complications. Emerging research, including Dr. Antonucci’s contributions, will be highlighted to provide actionable tools for clinical application.
This presentation introduces the vestibular system, highlighting its role in balance, coordination, and performance, as well as its integration with the central nervous system. We will explore how vestibular dysfunction can lead to common pathologies and performance challenges.
