PROGRAM OVERVIEW
More than 17 years could pass before the evidence that is published today is used in the care of rehabilitation patients. Knowledge translation (KT) is a process to expedite the use of evidence in clinical practice and includes the generation of new knowledge and the clinical implementation of established evidence. Research suggests that use of KT processes, such as the Knowledge-to-Action Framework, may facilitate successful implementation efforts. Multi-component KT interventions that target barriers to evidence-based practices have a greater impact on clinical practice than education courses provided without additional interventions. When delivering gait interventions to individuals with stroke, specific training parameters, including the amount, intensity, and variability of specific task specific practice, can profoundly influence motor learning and patient outcomes. In addition, it is critical that clinicians use standardized measures to determine a patient’s prognosis and measure change over time. This training program provides an innovative solution to facilitating implementation of High-Intensity Gait Training into clinical practice. The program uses a variety of evidence-based strategies to maximize the use of high-intensity gait training by the program participants.
Course Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:
- explain one reference that provides the rationale for the importance of providing gait training at high aerobic intensities.
- explain one reference that provides the rationale for the importance of allowing patients to learn from errors will providing high-intensity gait training.
- explain one reference that provides the rationale for the importance of providing task-specific gait training to improve gait after stroke.
- given the findings of an evaluation of a person with stroke, describe 3 high-intensity gait training activities that could be provided.
- explain how to safely monitor a patient’s heart rate during a 30-minute high-intensity gait training session.
- predict the potential outcome of a patient with stroke based on the results of the Berg Balance Scale.
- given the findings of an interim assessment that includes 3 standardized measures collected on a person with stroke, justify whether the patient should continue to receive high-intensity training during physical therapy.
