COURSE DESCRIPTION

This comprehensive, practical and interactive 2-day training course, designed specifically for clinicians, will focus on the implementation of bimanual therapy for children with cerebral palsy (CP). Guided by theory and evidence, participants will gain insight into the mechanisms and essential ingredients for learning motor skills and how to drive neuroplasticity for long-term outcomes. A mix of formal presentations and small group work will provide participants with the confidence and practical skills to immediately apply evidence-based bimanual therapy in their clinical practice. Detailed course notes, resources and reference material will be provided.

COURSE DESCRIPTION (DESCRIPCION DEL CURSO)

The 2.5-day practical and interactive training course, designed specifically for clinicians, will focus on the implementation of evidence-based interventions for children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP). Using the latest evidence and knowledge from scientific literature, the course will assist clinicians in making sense of who, why and when to choose a particular upper limb intervention. The course will provide clinicians with the confidence and practical skills to implement interventions such as modified constraint-induced movement therapy, bimanual therapy and goal-directed training. It will focus on practical considerations, such as the individual characteristics of the child (age, cognitive function, motivation) and the importance of environment and behaviour to ensure effective therapy outcomes. Participants will also learn how to objectively evaluate outcomes in their practice. Detailed course notes and reference material will be provided.

Este curso completo, práctico e interactivo de 2.5 días se enfoca en la implementación de intervenciones basadas en la evidencia para niños con parálisis cerebral unilateral (PC). Usando como referencia la evidencia más actual de la literatura científica, el curso es para profesionales que quieren conocer quién, cómo, porqué y cuándo usar una determinada intervención de miembro superior. El curso ofrece a los profesionales la confianza y herramientas prácticas para implementar intervenciones como la terapia de restricción e inducción del movimiento, la terapia bimanual y el tratamiento basado en el objetivo. El curso se enfocará en la parte más práctica, como las características individuales del niño/a (edad, cognición, motivación) y la importancia del ambiente y control de conducta para asegurar unos logros efectivos. Los participantes también aprenderán cómo evaluar los resultados del tratamiento. Material e información estará incluída en el curso.
