This three-part case-based series supplements JJ's Motor Learning Strategy course series and is designed to provide specific strategies for three different diagnoses that can immediately be incorporated into any treatment session being performed. In this third part of the series, J.J. Mowder-Tinney will identify three priority impairments of a post-stroke patient and compare and contrast two intervention options utilizing motor learning principles in the acute rehabilitation setting. The course concludes with intervention options that utilize motor learning principles appropriate for later in the rehabilitation process, including the long-term care, outpatient, and home care setting.
We recommend you watch the following courses prior to this Case Study:
Motor Learning Strategies: Principles of Application
Motor Learning Strategies: Interventions at the Environment Level
Case Studies in Motor Learning Part A: Balance Deficits
Case Studies in Motor Learning Part B: Total Knee Athroplasty

Chapters & learning objectives
1. Impairments Post-Stroke
This chapter introduces a post-stroke patient, Jan. J.J. Mower-Tinney uses this case study to identify three priority impairments of this patient after stroke. Several functional tests and assessments are used to identify the different impairments.
2. Motor Learning Considerations
After a identifying the patient’s key impairments, this chapter discusses the motor learning considerations for the patient. The chapter teaches users the seven key considerations to take into account for motor learning and emphasizes the importance of measuring change, improvement and outcomes. Finally, the chapter integrates two interventions that use motor learning principles in the acute and post-acute rehabilitation setting.
3. Intervention Options Later in Rehabilitation
When a patient is later in the rehabilitation process, therapists need to utilize interventions that incorporate motor learning principles that are appropriate for the long-term care, outpatient, and home care setting. This chapter discusses two intervention options that use motor learning principles that are appropriate for later stages of the rehabilitation process.
