  5. Visual Perception • Effects 21% of stroke patients • Treatment – clear … • Remedial based techniques: prisms, eye patching, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, and neck muscle vibration • Errorless learning and gesture training for limb apraxia • Mirror therapy for unilateral inattention

  6. UE Treatments • FES targeted at wrist and forearm should be considered to reduce motor impairment and improve function • Traditional or modified constraint induced movement therapy should be considered for patients who demonstrate 20 degrees of active wrist extension and 10 degrees active finger extension and minimal sensory or cognitive deficits • Mirror therapy as an adjunct to motor therapy (improves UE motor function and ADL) • GRASP (suitable for hospital use and home) as a supplementary training program

  7. Aerobic Training • Screen/submaximal test like 6 min walk or exercise stress test (?) . What is the target intensity of the planned program? • Tailored aerobic training using large muscle groups (3 times per week for 8 weeks, 20 min per session plus warm up and cool down).
