The PosstEx Lecture/LAB program provides additional education for post-rehab and fitness professionals. The program focuses on assisting participants in understanding when traditional rehabilitation usually ends the stroke survivor reaches the chronic stage of stroke, which was at first believed that the stroke survivors obtained maximum physiological and motor function during this period. New research shows that with a continued structured exercise program, stroke survivors can benefit from the effects of neuroplasticity.

     The lecture/lab program educates students on evidence-based research and best practices to help their stroke survivor clients optimize physiological and sensorimotor levels of function using exercise. Initiating a PosstEx program following discharge from therapy can prevent the decline of chronic stroke survivors and reduce the risk of secondary stroke-related comorbidities. Upon completion of the course, trainers will be able to correctly (safely) apply the seven basic human movement patterns to clients in the chronic phase of stroke, lowering the risks of co-morbidities promote a healthy lifestyle while improving activities of daily living.
