Study Notes
PTH 301 Neurological Rehabilitation
- Course instructor: Dr Claire McFeeters
- Instructor email: [email protected]
- Module covers neurological rehabilitation
- Module includes practical/seminar sessions, online/directed learning, and a module assessment
- The module includes neuroanatomy basics and introduction to key terms
- Course team includes Dr Katy Pedlow, Dr Sarah Howes, and Josh Kwant (external)
- Contact information for the course team is provided
- Students are expected to arrive on time for class and be prepared for learning
- Professionalism is required in classroom
- Students should bring appropriate practical attire for practical sessions
- Weekly tasks and directed learning are essential
- 4 modules, worth 20 credits
- NR PTH301 is condensed over 7 weeks during semester 1
- Spinal PTH331 over 12 weeks in semester 1
- MamP (PTH307) and Research methods (OTH320) are 6 weeks in semester 1 and 6 weeks in semester 2
- Mondays: pre-recorded materials for individual learning
- Tuesdays: mix of practical and seminar classes
- Pre-requisites for tuesday’s consolidation of learning
- Multimedia web-based assessments (via BBL/Blackboard) during January. This is 100% of the module mark.
- Assessment using scenario-based questions and video analysis
- Assessment is based on process rather than product
- Students will take online tests/mock questions
- Students engage in peer assessments of clinical skills and example scenarios, which includes feedback
- Key concepts, including neuroanatomy, neuroplasticity, and motor control, are important for assessments and understanding patients
- Neurophysiology aspects studied include altered tone, sensation, postural control, and volitional movement
- For each neural and nonneural impairment, we must consider its impact on function and motor abilities, with scientific and lay term explanations
- The module will apply understanding to a range of neurological conditions (stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, traumatic brain injury)
- Week 1 topics include motor control, neuroanatomy, neurons, chemical synapses, neurotransmission, and blood circulation of the brain
- Students can use visual, auditory, read/write, or kinaesthetic learning styles
- First task for students is to find out their own learning style and consider how to best grasp the neurological concepts
- Module comprises of content delivery, assessment structure, and key concepts in the topic
Assessment Rationale
- Multimedia assessment stresses learning processes over product
- Student learning is best assessed through practice, rehearsal, and assessment aligned to teaching methods
Feedback Strategy
- Students complete online tests
- Students practice video analysis of clinical manifestations
- Peer assessment of clinical skills and example scenarios
Neurological Rehabilitation
- Questions to consider: What is it? How does it differ? What skills would you like to develop? What are your personal goals?
Key Concepts
- Neuroanatomy: study of the nervous system's structure
- Neuroplasticity: brain's ability to change and adapt
- Motor Control: how the brain controls movement
Neurophysiology
- Neural impairments, including altered tone, sensation, and postural control, impacting function and motor abilities
- Non-neural impairments, such as cardiovascular disorders, can also affect function
Altered Neurophysiology
- Scientific definitions of altered neurophysiology
- Lay term explanations of altered neurophysiology
- Assessment of the impact of different functional positions.
- Importance of use of handling (safety, function, facilitate movement)
Introduction to Neuroanatomy
- Identify and describe the roles of different body systems, CNS, PNS, neurons, dendrites, axons, synapses, brain, and spinal cord.
Exercise 1: How well do you know the Nervous System?
- Matching activities relating function/roles of parts of nervous system to their names
The Brain
- Includes information on various apps and an interactive website for additional support.
- Parts and functions of the brain include: cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe
Brainstem Function
- Essential life-support functions are controlled
- Controls main nerves for eye movement, hearing, speech, chewing, and swallowing
Cerebellum
- Motor control, comparing ongoing movement to motor plans
- Corrects errors, aids in learning of movement
Spinal Cord
- Begins at the foramen magnum and has cervical and lumbar enlargements
- Crucial for communication between the brain and body
Spinal Cord (Cross-section)
- Features of gray matter and white matter
- CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) function in nourishing the spinal system
Types of Neurons
- Sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons
Parts of a Neuron with Functions
- Dendrites, cell body, cell membrane, axon hillock, axon, myelin sheath, axon terminals, nodes of Ranvier, and Schwann cells
Synapse
- Connection between neurons enabling communication
Example
- Illustrative cases of motor activity, sensory input, and interneuron actions
Coming Up...
- Today's content includes neuroanatomy basics, motor control, and an introduction to stroke pre-recorded materials.
- Tomorrow's schedule focuses on flipped classroom practical sessions and seminars in person, including motor control, neuroanatomy and stroke application
What Have We Learned So Far?
- Module structure, assessment, module delivery/problem-based learning, key concepts/neurophysiology terms, and application
- Neuroanatomy application to rehabilitation.
Tomorrow's Schedule
- Details of practical time schedule, materials needed, and group assignments.
Neurophysiotherapy
- A process supporting individuals with disabilities to maintain optimum function and health by interacting with their environment (WHO 2001)
Physiotherapist Role (in neurophysiotherapy)
- Using clinical reasoning, evidence, and patient/caregiver perspectives for assessment, development, evaluation, and planning patient care.
Assessment (in neurophysiotherapy)
- Includes subjective data (from patients/family), objective data (measuring impairments), identifying problems (problem list), setting goals, developing treatment plans, re-education of movements, and self-management strategies.
- Evaluations, re-assessments, and plan reviews are part of the process
Approaches to treatment
- Various treatment approaches are used in practice including:
- Shaping
- Task-oriented practice
- Stretching
- Functional tasks
- Aids and orthoses
- Technology
- Balance re-education
- Therapeutic handling
- Gait re-education
