Participants will be presented with treatment approaches for the post-stroke upper extremity with little to no movement. Risk factors for shoulder pain will be discussed as well as appropriate range of motion and positioning techniques for this population.
2. Intervention Strategies for the Not Yet Functional Upper Extremity
This chapter will present treatment approaches for the post-stroke upper extremity that presents with proximal movement, but which the patient considers “non-functional” secondary to lack of distal control.
