Positioning a Stroke Survivor

This video reviews the importance of proper positioning of an arm that is affected by a stroke. Within this video, I review common presentations of an affected arm post-stroke, positioning techniques and the importance, and how to assist a stroke survivor with proper positioning. Visual and audio content is used, as well as demonstration videos to enhance your learning experience. The information I have provided is based off of my knowledge and experience in rehabilitating stroke survivors s an occupational therapist. However, I am providing an additional reference for you to utilize to better understand this topic. This link is targeted towards healthcare providers, but if you navigate to page 60, you can find helpful information about positioning that may improve your skills with this at home. https://www.heartandstroke.ca/-/media/1-stroke-best-practices/tacls-2021/tacls-manual-final-eng.ashx?rev=8b779deb44044b07bcb84ab8e6fc2ea9 *Due to the paid licensing fee through PowToon, access to images, short video clips, and designs from their website are permissible to use in this created content.
