I am strictly ortho PT, however, due to personal reasons I would like to learn more about Neuro PT especially post CVA. Are there any courses I can take as my neuro knowledge is very rusted.

see [URL=http://www.nationalacademy.com/strokecva.html]www.nationalacademy.com/strokecva.html[/URL] This will give you the primary things you need to know for cva rehab.

Checf out NDTA.org for an NDT course or look thru the PT bulletin for courses.

Vallejo California has an inpatient rehab hospital treating only neuro patients & a PNF residency with wonderful therapists there. Some of them teach courses also.

Dr. Ingrid Tscharnuter developed a therapeutic technique for neurological and orthopadic conditions based on the dynamical system and Gibson's ecological theory.
These systems theories are not new but
Dr. Tscharnuter's adaptation and subsequent development of her techniques were quite new, which departs from traditional neurofacilitation theories and techniques (e.g. PNF, NDT, Rood, Brunnstrooms, etc.). The hand placement in TAMO serves as vectors which allows for the re-organization of the limited movement repertoire in our patients.
I've discussed her theories and found it very interesting, she has much respect for the central nervous system's wisdom--> for spontaneous re-organization thru gentle touch and handling.

Please refer to her website @ [URL=http://www.tamo.com/]www.tamo.com/[/URL]

TAMO Therapy = Tscharnuter Akademie for Movement Organization.

Thank you Ingrid for sharing your insight...I'm planning to attend one of your workshop in the near future.

Thanks.

Dr Simon Bacaltos,
Thats an interesting approach which contradicts the conventional neuro developmental theories. Thank you very much for the info.

goodlooks58,
It would be a good idea to take a look at this comparative research study performed by Dutch researchers about the effectiveness of NDT. The study was conducted on 324 stroke patients.

Full research paper can also be found.
