Course Description
Content: During this 2 day session you will learn didactic and hands-on techniques to be able to implement NeuroProsthetics in your practice. The course will teach the fundamentals of electrical stimulation and how electricity interacts with human physiology. You will be taught how muscle contracts when subjected to electrical impulses and how you can adjust stimulation patterns and parameters to achieve desirable effects on muscle. You will learn how to apply this knowledge to neurological conditions such as spinal cord and stroke to achieve both therapeutic and functional outcomes.

The course will teach the fundamentals of pain and pain management techniques using electrical stimulation. Some background will be given regarding the neurophysiology of pain. You will learn about other techniques in pain management to broaden your understanding of the field. Students will be taught proper electrode placement for both muscle stimulation and pain inhibition.

Workshops: NeuroProsthetics is as much a medical art as it is a science. You will learn how to stimulate nerves and muscles properly. Our workshop will teach you how to apply electrodes to all major muscle groups. Students will receive lab experience in the application of electrodes and a demonstration of how major muscles contract in response to electrical Stimulation.

Each student will participate in the design and fitting of various TEST garments and will learn this process from start to finish.

There will be a demonstration of NeuroProsthetics for control of foot drop, opening of the hand, and spine function. Students will be exposed to an actual pain patient to demonstrate the disability of the pain patient, the process of evaluation, and assesment of the outcome of this approach.

Finally, you will learn how to troubleshoot systems and be able to recognize and diagnose malfunctions using our testing equipment.
