Educational Objectives

Hour 1

Explain the neurophysiological basis of motor deficits in Parkinson's disease, focusing on basal ganglia dysfunction and its impact on fine motor control and gait.
Evaluate evidence-based interventions for improving hand dexterity in Parkinson's patients, including task-specific training and emerging technologies like virtual reality.
Analyze the neuroscientific principles behind gait rehabilitation strategies, such as external cueing and dual-task training, and their effects on neural plasticity in Parkinson's disease.
Design a comprehensive rehabilitation program that integrates hand dexterity and gait interventions, considering the latest research on neuroplasticity and motor learning in Parkinson's disease.

Hour 2

Explain the neurophysiological underpinnings of motor deficits affecting lower extremity function
Analyze the neuroscientific principles driving rehabilitation strategies such as external cueing and dual-task training.
Evaluate evidence-based interventions aimed at enhancing lower extremity ADLs, including task-specific training for sit-to-stand transfers, stair climbing, and the application of emerging technologies that target motor function.
Design a comprehensive rehabilitation program that integrates the aforementioned interventions for lower extremity ADLs and gait training
