Good afternoon all,
   
  I'm finishing up my last 3 weeks of my level II's and am working in an Acute 
Care setting of a local hospital. I'm working on a presentation regarding some 
new possible treatments for CVA's.
   
  Currently I've looked up some research on:
  Robotic Assisted Rehab
  Virtual Reality
  Motor Imagery
   
  as well as info on:
  Sensory stimulation
  Extended therapy
  Intensity vs Task Specificity
   
   I've noticed a great deal of the acute care setting is working on rote 
skills like bathing, dressing, getting up/down from a standard toilet, etc 
(I've read much on here about this not being "skilled OT", and I tend to agree. 
However, at the moment, I'm merely the "student" and am not yet in a position 
to argue for or against points of view.
   
  Anyway, back to my original question...I guess I'm looking for some new 
ideas/techniques being used (outside of NDT, PNF, etc), preferrably in an 
hospital setting. I was also looking for some new ideas/techniques for 
unilateral neglect remediation as well as  treatments for right and left cva's. 
   
  If any or all can assist with some ideas, I'd be MOST appreciative. Even if 
many of the ideas/thoughts presented are "old" they may still be of value, at 
least to my own personal education anyway.
   
  Thank you!
   
  Ron
