Description
When retraining balance, gait, and ADLs, progress is often impeded by deficits that don’t respond to strength and balance interventions due to malalignment of the pelvis and trunk. This recording brings the trunk to the forefront of neurological recovery, showing you how to achieve faster and more predictable functional gains using the latest research and interventions to restore pelvic/trunk alignment and control. Through pictures, videos, and active demonstrations, you’ll learn a whole-body approach to restoring human movement with geriatric and neurological patients of any age, including low-level patients.
