Event Details

In Singapore, stroke is among the top causes of hospitalisation and disability. Occupational Therapists (OTs) play a vital role in the rehabilitation of stroke patients. Managing the myriad of deficits in a patient affected by stroke can be challenging for OTs new to neurological rehabilitation.

This workshop aims to provide a holistic overview of the aetiology of stroke, medical interventions and a comprehensive understanding of how to carry out Occupational therapy assessments and interventions in stroke rehabilitation.

At the end of the workshop, participants will:

1. Gain an understanding of medical management of stroke and identify the role of OT in this process.
2. Carry out a comprehensive neuro assessment to accurately identify deficits post stroke.
3. Plan and execute rehabilitation sessions for targeted deficits post stroke (Upper limb, activities of daily living facilitation, cognitive and low vision).
