The history and principles of Neurodevelopment Technique2. How NDT applies to the treatment of patients with hemiplegia3. Manual cues and their role in facilitating normal movement4. Normal biomechanics of the spine, pelvis, and scapula 5. Dysfunctional movement patterns present in hemiplegia Neurofacilitation of Transfers: Exploring pivot transfers and sit to/from stand using manual facilitation techniques (NDT 2)Course Description: 3 Hours (.3 CEUs)This course will introduce the use of manual facilitation for low pivot and sit to/from stand transfers. The rationale for each type of transfer is explained along with pictures and videos of the necessary manual cues to perform. Course Objectives:After completing this course you will have a better understanding of the following:1. Facilitation of the following motions: Lumbar extension, lumbar flexion, thoracic extension, lateral lumbar flexion, hip extension, and tibial alignment2. The rationale and benefits of the low pivot and sit to/from stand transfers for the patient with hemiplegia3. How to progress the low pivot and sit to/from stand transfer to increase the challenge4. Problem solving for challenges during transfers5. Proper documentation of transfers with facilitation
