Neurological rehabilitation for the small animal veterinary nurse
(incl. tax)
Physical rehabilitation is often beneficial following injury or surgery for various neurological disorders. The first 6 weeks after this injury or surgery are the most crucial as this is when we see the most optimum response in our patients. During this webinar I will discuss the fundamentals of neurological rehabilitation highlighting the importance of neural feedback and gait training. I will also give the veterinary nurse the knowledge to assess and treat these cases on a daily basis while in hospital, and, to be able to develop tailor made home programs of the basic therapeutic exercises to enhance neural recovery.
