The delivery of best-practice rehabilitation services for individuals following stroke requires knowledge of factors that influence stroke recovery and the timely translation of evidence-based interventions to clinical practice. This presentation aims to bridge the gap between published research and current practice. Through the use of a theory-based approach and case scenarios, we will facilitate participant knowledge of factors that contribute to the recovery of function after stroke.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe empirical evidence regarding predictors of functional outcomes poststroke and factors impacting treatment planning and choice of intervention frame of reference.
• Apply a theory-based approach to specify treatment ingredients (what the clinician provides) and the impact on client outcomes and goal achievement.
• Apply a theory-based systematic approach to evaluate and select best-practice interventions for the paretic upper extremity after stroke.
