Treating the individual with ataxia can often be a very challenging experience for the clinician. Perhaps this is because we have focused on addressing the clinical symptoms rather than the underlying impairments. This workshop will explore primary impairments present in the individual with ataxia\, current theoretical evidence and treatment strategies using a NDT approach. The overall objective of this workshop is to provide clinicians with knowledge and skills they can use in treating the individual with ataxia to promote positive functional outcomes. Course Learning Objectives:\n Upon completion of the course the participants will: \n\n\nGain knowledge of the current literature and how we use this information within the NDT Practice Model in treating the individual with ataxia\nIdentify major impairments interfering with typical movement and function in the individual with ataxia.\nDemonstrate handling skills to address impairments in the individual with ataxia and work within functional activities including activities in sitting\, standing and gait.\nDemonstrate an increased repertoire of evaluation and treatment strategies for the individual with ataxia.\n\n\nInstructor: Karen Guha\, PT\, CIDN\, C/NDT\, NDTA™ Coordinator Instructor\n Karen is a physiotherapist at Grand River Hospital and Back Works Spinal and Sports Rehabilitation.  She received her Physical Therapy degree from the University of Toronto in 1996 and became NDT trained in 1999. Karen became a NDTA™ PT Instructor in 2007 and a NDTA™ Coordinator Instructor in 2011.  In 2017 Karen completed her certification in Integrated Dry Needling.  Karen has over 28 years’ experience working with adults with neurological impairments in acute\, rehabilitation and outpatient settings.  Karen has taught NDT courses throughout North America and internationally. Course Format: This workshop will include a short lecture and then laboratory practical sessions for the remainder of the day. During lab sessions\, participants will have the opportunity to analyze normal movement and practice handling skills to facilitate functional movement patterns in normal adults. Requirements: Participants must be a registered Physical Therapist\, Occupational Therapist\, Therapy Assistant or Registered Kinesiologist who work with individuals who have suffered from stroke\, brain injury or other neurological disorders Workshop Agenda:  \n9:00 – 9:15       Introduction\n9:15 – 10:30     Lecture: Treating the Individual with Ataxia\n10:30 – 10-45  Lab: Exploring the Task\n10:45 – 11:00    Break\n11:00 – 1:00   Lab: Strategies in sitting – coactivated trunk\, creating boundaries\, progression in siting – using consequences\, reducing the BOS – push/pull objects\, squat\n1:00 – 1:45      Lunch\n1:45 – 3:00        Lab: Strategies in standing – sit to stand options\, facilitating standing – incorporating the UE in the task\, stepping to target\, stepping up\, tipping objects\, etc.\n3:00 – 4:00       Lab: Gait\nPlease note that this workshop has reached capacity.

As Occupational Therapists it can be challenging to figure out how to best manage our time so that we are incorporating the more involved upper extremity (UE) into tasks while also addressing a client’s cognitive and perceptual impairments. This one day workshop will present NDT principles related to the incorporating the more involved or hemiplegic UE into cognitive and perceptual tasks through using the UE in an active support role.  The course will provide a holistic opportunity to explore practical tips to engage the UE in active support while being creative of how to work on cognition and perception while considering the environment\, client’s goals and impairments.  Course format will include a lecture\, with a large focus on handling and problem solving labs. These labs will work on facilitating the UE in active support as well as ideas of how to address cognitive/perceptual impairments. Course Learning Objectives:\n Upon completion of the course the participants will: \n\n\nLearn about the benefits of using the UE as an active support during functional tasks for clients who have neurological impairments and particularly as applied to the management of the hemiplegic UE\nExplore research on cognition\, cognitive treatment strategies and how cognition and exercise can impact one another\nDevelop basic assessment problem solving and handling skills to improve trunk and upper extremity alignment to promote active support during cognitive and perceptual tasks\nProblem solve strategies of how to set up the client’s environment to address client’s trunk and UE impairments using the arm in active support while also working on cognition and perception\nCollaboratively explore and analyze a variety of cognitive and perceptual tasks and problem solve how to grade the complexity of these tasks to best address client’s goals and impairments\n\n\nInstructor: Sherry Rock\n Sherry Rock OT Reg.(Ont) is an Occupational Therapist who has worked at an outpatient NeuroRehabilitation Clinic in Kitchener Ontario for over 21 years. She is the first Adult NDTA™ OT instructor in Canada. She holds a Masters of Clinical Science degree in Occupational Therapy from the University of Western Ontario.  She has over 20 years of experience working with clients with stroke and other neurological diagnoses in both outpatient and inpatient settings. She completed her NDT Certificate course in 2005 and has taken numerous advanced NDT courses as well as various cognitive and perceptual courses related to acquired brain injuries.  She continues to expand her knowledge in these areas as well as in the area of emotional well-being and how to help clients manage and cope with the life changes that have occurred.   Sherry became an Adult NDTA™ OT Instructor in 2018.  She has taught on many introductory\, intermediate and certificate NDTA™ courses as well as presented on topics related to cognition and perception at conferences in Ontario.

It is critical that we treat “pushers” as a team\, often requiring a second therapist/therapy assistant to progress them in therapy. We will explore how to facilitate the affected/weak side as well as how the second person can inhibit the pushing tendencies. This workshop will present current theoretical evidence and practical NDT skills for participants to use when working with the individual who “pushes”.  The overall objective of this course is to enable participants to bring information back to their facility and apply it toward promoting more functional movement and achieving functional outcomes with their patients. Course Learning Objectives:\n Upon completion of the course the participants will: \n\n\nUnderstand current literature and apply this within the NDTA™ Contemporary Practice Model to treat the individual with neurological impairments\nExplore treatment strategies (including using a second person to inhibit the “pushing”) to address impairments within functional activities including activities in sitting\, standing and early gait.\nDemonstrate basic handling skills to enhance patient’s functional movement as related to his/her functional goals including activities in sitting\, standing and gait.\nDemonstrate an increased repertoire of evaluation and treatment strategies for the individual with stroke who have “pushing” tendencies.\n\n\nInstructor: Karen Guha\, PT\, CIDN\, C/NDT\, NDTA™ Coordinator Instructor\n Karen is a physiotherapist at Grand River Hospital and Back Works Spinal and Sports Rehabilitation.  She received her Physical Therapy degree from the University of Toronto in 1996 and became NDT trained in 1999. Karen became a NDTA™ PT Instructor in 2007 and a NDTA™ Coordinator Instructor in 2011.  In 2017 Karen completed her certification in Integrated Dry Needling.  Karen has over 25 years’ experience working with adults with neurological impairments in acute\, rehabilitation and outpatient settings.  Karen has taught NDT courses throughout North America and internationally. Course Format: This workshop will include a short lecture and then laboratory practical sessions for the remainder of the day. During lab sessions\, participants will have the opportunity to analyze normal movement and practice handling skills to facilitate functional movement patterns in normal adults. Participants will have the opportunity to problem solve how these handling skills will be modified when treating the individual who has contraversive pushing tendencies.

Functional gait includes being able to walk at different speeds\, on different surfaces\, changing directions\, combining gait with other activities and negotiating stairs. Often this is difficult for many individuals who have suffered a neurological injury.  This one-day workshop will present NDT principles related to preparation for and treating in function during standing and walking. This workshop will focus on strategies to facilitate the trunk\, UE and LE with the goal of challenging individuals’ post-stroke or brain injury in standing\, during gait\, and while performing various functional activities. These functional activities include forward and backward walking\, turning\, and stair climbing. The workshop will provide an opportunity for analysis of biomechanics and the assessment of movement dysfunction in an individual post-stroke or brain injury during these functional activities.\n Workshop Objectives:\n Upon completion of this workshop the participants will be able to:\n1. Identify components of typical gait\n2. Demonstrate basic skill in analyzing atypical components of trunk\, upper and lower extremity\nfunction\, frequently associated with conditions of neurological dysfunction\, during activities in\nstanding\, during gait and on the stairs.\n3. Demonstrate basic handling skills to enhance patient’s movement as related to his/her\nfunctional goals during standing\, gait and on the stairs. Instructor: Karen Guha\, PT\, CIDN\, C/NDT\, NDTA™ Coordinator Instructor\n Karen is a physiotherapist at Grand River Hospital and Back Works Spinal & Sports Rehabilitation. She received her Physical Therapy degree from the University of Toronto in 1996 and became NDT trained in 1999. Karen became a NDTA™ PT Instructor in 2007\, a NDTA™ Coordinator Instructor in 2011\, and a NDTA™ Advanced Course Instructor in 2014. She has over 25 years’ experience working with adults with neurological impairments in acute\, rehabilitation and outpatient settings. Karen has taught NDT courses throughout North America and internationally.  Format: Workshop format will include a short lecture and then practical hands-on lab sessions for the remainder of the day.
