Due to atypical movement patterns, the neurologic upper extremity has unique functional limitations regarding ADL skills. The learner will dive into individual ADL challenges within this course and identify specific custom activity adaptations, adapted equipment, and home modifications to compensate for these unique impairments. Supporting research articles are included to optimize the learner’s skill set and ensure the provision of evidence-based treatment interventions for the utmost level of care.
