The Role of Feedback In Motor Learning

Course Description:  This is a 2 hour live, virtual course (which will be recorded and utilized in an on-demand platform for self-paced study) designed for all physical therapists to provide practitioners with the necessary tools to integrate tactile, auditory, and visual feedback when designing rehabilitation experiences that will optimize skill acquisition and performance. Intervention strategies will be presented with a focus on the role of feedback including choosing the type of feedback, the frequency, and to how to fade feedback for sustained motor system changes. The speakers will present videotaped demonstrations showcasing how these principles can be used for balance and gait applications, teaching exercises, and restoring optimal function for patients with orthopedic or neurologic disorder
