Description: Lower extremity impairment following stroke greatly affects many functional activities that facilitate independence such as walking transfers and standing endurance. For many stroke survivors regaining functional mobility is central to returning home resuming valued roles and staying safe in the community. This course offers an evidence-based approach to managing lower extremity impairment across the full recovery continuum from initial assessment through progressively challenging person-specific interventions.

Objectives: By the end of the course the participant will be able to select appropriate assessment measures to classify the severity of lower extremity impairment after stroke (low) By the end of the course the participant will be able to describe person-specific lower extremity interventions based on an individual's current motor capacity and recovery stage (low) By the end of the course the participant will be able to explain how emerging technologies and neuroplasticity principles may shape the future of lower extremity stroke rehabilitation (low) By the end of the course the participant will be able to describe the "find, facilitate, force, function, and fun framework" for organising lower extremity interventions by severity of impairment (low)
