Hypertonia is a common and disabling impairment in many neurological conditions. This session will provide updates on pathophysiology and evidence based non-pharmacological management of adaptive muscle shortening and focal spasticity.

Persistent pain is a common feature of neurological conditions, including stroke, TBI, MS and PD. This case study will explore co-existing dystonia and complex regional pain syndrome in a person with hemiplegia following brain injury.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. In contrast, dissociative attacks are considered a type of FND, as they result from a temporary dysfunction in the nervous system without abnormal electrical activity. Understanding these distinctions is vital for therapists to enhance patient care and treatment outcomes.

This session will cover the practicalities of assessment for botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injection for focal spasticity, establishing client based goals and delivering effective, evidence based treatment to optimise outcomes.

Functional mobility is also limited by non motor impairments. This case study and discussion will explore how cognitive and perceptual deficits impact motor function.

FND is a very complex condition. This session will cover pathophysiology, assessment and treatment of this complex condition from an MDT perspective.

A complex case study exploring how addressing the trunk can be central to achieving function in a client with neurological impairments living in the community.

Cognitive deficits have a significant impact on the outcome of our neurological clients.  Deficits in attention are common across the spectrum of neurology.  This session will include a brief overview of attention networks, identification of deficits in your patients and adapting your intervention.

Upper limb deficits after stroke are complex, often involving deficits of motor and sensory function as well as perceptual dysfunction. This session will explore the clinical reasoning, considerations and intervention options for a variety of presentations.

There are many tools in the tool-box of a therapist working in neurology. This lecture will be a discussion on the relevance of Bobath in current neurological practise.  Please also join us for end of year drinks and nibbles.
