Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) Approach Course
Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) Approach Course is organized by Northeast Seminars.
Description:
Traditional assessment of the adult hemiplegic patient focuses on determining the level of assistance required for the patient to complete given activities. This focus does not indicate what are the missing components of movement that are interfering with or preventing the patient from completing the given tasks independently. Naturally, what the clinician does not identify as a problem may not get addressed in the course of patient management.
Learning Goals:
Upon completion of this class, you should be able to:
• Summarize NDT background and philosophy
• Describe how to use NDT principles in the assessment and management of the hemiplegic patient during functional activities
