SUMMARY:Hand and Brain ( PNI and Guided Plasticity) - Day 1 A Basic Approach.
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Associate Professor Birgitta Rosèn ( from Sweden ). \nIt is with great excitement that the WA OT Association presents two day workshops by Birgitta Rosen\, an international leader in the field of neuroplasticity and rehabilitation for OT Week 2019. \nBirgitta is an Associate Professor and an experienced occupational therapist. With over 40 years’ experience\, Birgitta has a special interest in nerve injuries and their associated rehabilitation – sensory re-learning using guided plasticity or extrinsic modulation of brain plasticity mechanisms\, and sensory feedback in hand prostheses. She is very widely published\, with 83 original scientific articles and 6 book chapters in the field. Birgitta currently holds a position at Lund University\, Germany\, with a combination of clinical work at the Department of Hand Surgery\, Malmö and lecturing and research at the Department of Health Sciences Lund University\, a position she has held since 2009. She has been an invited speaker to the Philadelphia Hand Meeting twice\, as well as the Australian Hand Therapy Association National Conference in 2004\, and was awarded The Inaugural Cristina Alegri Award\, IFSHT Congress\, Buenos Aires 2016 for her contribution to the understanding of the hand and sensibility. \nAcross the two days Birgitta will present masterclasses of ‘Hand and Brain – an evidence-based rehabilitation approach to peripheral nerve conditions and how to use guided plasticity’. Treatment techniques applicable beyond nerve injuries using guided plasticity will also be discussed\, in an evidence based perspective that can be applicable in a variety of rehab settings. \nObjectives \nAfter attending day 1\, the participant will have a deeper understanding of: \n-The neuroscientific base for new strategies for re-learning based on use of guided plasticity \n-The importance of sensory and motor re-learning and use of guided plasticity in early and late postoperative phase following a nerve injury (phase 1 before any reinnervation has occurred\, phase 2 when some reinnervation has occurred). \n-Basic components in assessment of hand function following nerve conditions. \nAfter attending day 2\, the participant will have a deeper understanding and practical skills of: \n-Application of new strategies for re-learning/re-education based on guided plasticity. \n-Basic components in assessment of hand function following nerve conditions and use of the Model Instrument for outcome after nerve repair – ”Rosèn score”. \nHand And Brain – An Evidence-Based Rehabilitation Approach To Peripheral Nerve Conditions And How To Use Guided Plasticity – A Basic Approach. \nDate Saturday 26th October 2019\nTime 8:00 – 16:30 \nVenue Pagoda Ballroom\, Pagoda Resort\,\n112 Melville Parade\, Como \nCost Early bird before 26/9/19\nMember $200 \nRural/ remote $150 \nNon-members $395 \nStudent $100 \nStandard rate after 26/9/19 \nMember $250 \nRural/ remote $175 \nNon-members $395 \nStudent $120 \nRefreshments Welcome coffee/tea\, morning tea\, lunch and afternoon tea provided \nBook Online\nIf you prefer booking offline\, you can use the form below: \nPD-registration-form-2019
