Overview:

Water-based exercise has the potential to support individuals with chronic stroke in the transition from formal rehabilitation to community living.

Barriers to physical activity in stroke are complex and related to stroke severity, personal characteristics, and many contextual factors. Designing these complex interventions using the best available evidence including stakeholder input will yield a program that is “real world” applicable. 

Join the Canadian Physiotherapy Association to learn how to develop a water exercise program for individuals with stroke. This evidence-based online course includes scoping of the existing literature.

 

Speaker:

Olivia Manning is a Neurological Physiotherapist at Providence Care Hospital and PhD Candidate in Rehabilitation Sciences at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. Her current research studies the gap between formal rehabilitation and community wellness for stroke survivors. Previously she has completed research in the areas of Multiple Sclerosis, gait analysis, aging in place for older adults (The Oasis Project) and corticospinal excitability. Olivia strongly believes in embracing the complexity of neurological populations in research trials and creating opportunities for more severely impaired individuals to be active in the community.
