Neurodevelopmental Therapy
Neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT) is a hands-on treatment approach used by physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists
Without NDT interventions, the patient likely will develop a limited set of movement patterns that he or she will apply to nearly all tasks.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Learning Objectives
To share some views and experience of
What to do?
How to do?
in post stroke upper extremity Rehabilitation from
an OccupationalTherapy Perspective
2
4. What to do?
‘Diagnosis specific’
&
‘Prognosis Oriented’
Evidence based
treatment planning
4
5. A) Diagnosis Specificity
• Therapy planning SHOULD be based on the
precise diagnosis of Stroke
– Ex:
A 28 year old male civil engineer with left hemiparesis
C/c : Difficulty in eating in ‘buffet’ system
Brunnstrom's recovery Stage for Hand : Stage 6/7
Power : ~ 4+/5
5
6. Diagnosis Specificity Contd…
• ‘Activity Analysis’ showed
– Inability to maintain the plate steadily (horizontally) in his
left hand especially while serving dishes / while talking to
others.At the same time he can describe what is the
‘correct’ way of holding
• Why?
– Right MCA territory Infarct
– Involvement of Rt. Parietal Lobe
‘Perceptual – Motor’ aspect is usually a neglected domain in
early post stroke U/E rehab
6
7. Need of Diagnosis specificity in
treatment planning…
• An infarct at ganglio-capsular region usually produce
‘Plastic Rigidity’. (Paul Kaplan,1940) This will be helpful to
train the U/E to be a ‘supportive hand’.
• The probability of recovery of isolated UE movement
decreases progressively with lesion location as
follows:cortex, corona radiata, and Post. Limb of
Internal Capsule (Shelton and Reding- 2001)
7
8. B) Prognosis Oriented
• Why?
“You must always be able to predict what's next
and then have the ‘flexibility to evolve’.”
Marc Benioff
8
9. B) Prognosis Oriented Contd…
• How? based on
• Area and/or type of brain damage 1
» Patients with anterior circulation infarcts, right
hemispheric strokes, visual gaze deficits etc… were
associated with poor arm function.
• Initial degree of motor Impairment2
» Severe paresis vs. mild paresis
» Active finger extension & shoulder abduction
• Other factors
» Time of initial ‘Medical Intervention’
» Presence / absence of cognitive impairment 1) EBRSR,2013
2) EBRSR,,2014,

13. Intervention for Group 1
• It’s a continuous process with considerable
overlap between each step
13
1111 2222 3333 4444 5555 66aa66aa 66bb66bb 66cc66ccStep
14. Intervention For Group 1
–
• Deficits like,
– Diplopia, Photosensitivity, hemianopia etc…
– Neglect, Visual Inattention etc…
– Emotional Lability, attention deficits etc…
Step – 1 : Understand / Management of 'Key'Visual,
Perceptual and cognitive Deficits to make the patient
'Ready' for rehabilitation
14
15. Intervention For Group 1 Contd…
Step 2 : Eye- Head - Trunk CoordinationTraining : to
locate a target in space (Visual Regard)
Conventional Method
• Training the different control
system separately
Contemporary Methods
• Virtual Reality
15
16. Intervention For Group 1 Contd…
Two key challenges at this phase are
– Effect of Gravity
– Weight of the upper extremity on relatively
unstable shoulder joint
Step-3 : Training for Reach
16
17. Upper Extremity Un-weighing
System (UEUS)
• Highlights
– Offer partial to complete
Un-weighing of U/E
– Simple & Affordable
– Virtual Reality Compatible
• Limitations
– Allows only 2D Movements.
– Graded Un-weighing is not
present
17
Coscia et al. Journal of Neuro Engineering and Rehabilitation 2014, 11:22
20. Step 3 Contd…
Reach against gravity
Key Challenge here is the smooth, graded transition
of reach movement from eliminated gravity to
against gravity
20
21. ‘Hydraulic’ cut-out table with
‘Flip-Up’ top
Highlights
• Flip-up table top with
graded adjustment(0-700)
• Hydraulic height
adjustment mechanism
• Cut-out top
21
23. Intervention For Group 1 Contd…
• Synergy patterns can be reversed if movement
takes place in the weaker synergy first
Ref: Chedoke McMaster Stroke Impairment Inventory : Stage 4
Step 4 : Training for Grasp Release
(Extension of fingers and thumb)
23
24. Intervention For Group 1 Contd…
• Initially starts with Gross grasp
• Incorporated with ‘Meaningful activities’
• In a meaningful ‘Context’ (i.e.,Task Oriented)
– Eg: holding a glass of water
Step 5 : Training for Grasp (Flexion of fingers and
thumb)
24
25. Intervention For Group 1 Contd…
Key Consideration:
Occupational Performance
Step – 6a : Training for Hand Manipulation Skills
ADLADL
LeisureLeisureWorkWork
Environment
25
(One’s ability to carry out ROLES
and ROUTINES efficiently)
28. Intervention For Group 1 Contd…
• Most of the ADL (Activities of Daily Living)
• Eye-Hand Coordination is a ‘key’ here
Step – 6b : Bilateral hand coordination training
28
29. Intervention For Group 1 Contd…
The fruitfulness of rehabilitation lies when the learning
at ‘ideal’ environment transforms to the ‘real’
environment
Transfer of Learning
– To ADL
– ToWork
– To Lesiure
Step – 6c : Transfer of learning
29
34. Interventions for Group 2
• For the Affected Hand
– Step 1-3 are same
– Training for sustained gross grasp (at least ½
range of digit flexion)
– Independent weight bearing on affected hand
– Technology /equipments like SaeboFlex™
• For the Un-affected Hand
– Compensatory strategy training like ‘one handed
techniques for dressing’
34
36. Interventions for Group 3
Flaccid Hand
For the affected Hand:
• To prevent secondary
complication like T/C/D’s
• ‘Shoulder subluxation’
management
• Teaching Proper handling
techniques of affected U/E
• Prescription of sling, if
required
Hypertonic hand
For the affected Hand
• To prevent secondary
complication like T/C/Ds,
• To ease ADL activities &
maintain hygiene
• Teach routine passive range
of motion exercises
• Some PROM exercises
36
Compensatory techniques to un-affected hand
37. Take Home Message
• Post-stroke U/E rehabilitation should be based on
diagnosis specific and prognostic oriented treatment
planning
• The focus of the therapy SHOULD be on functional
Independence NOT confined to reach, grasp release
