Welcome to Neuro U!
Welcome to Neuro U! It's so exciting to have you among fellow game-changers and inquisitive minds! Neuro University (U) has been a long time in the making. We have some amazing things planned and for being part of the early adopters of this community you will be getting exclusive benefits you won't be able to find anywhere else! Neuro U is just in its infancy, but the content, courses, counseling and community will be unmatched as you discover our roadmap. Your personal and professional growth is paramount to us, which is why we will be evolving weekly to ensure each of you is getting significant value out of this community. Here is a short list of the benefits of being a part of Neuro U: 1) You are NOT Alone! You are no longer isolated; you are seen, you have a voice here and you have a plethora of resources available at your fingertips. Whether you sat in the front of the class or stowed away in the background, by being here you are an essential and valued member of this community 2) Neuro U = Champion YOU. Neuro University was constructed with the idea that thinking differently needs to be championed rather than minimized or silenced. We endorse creativity, prioritize the latest evidence, and illuminate innovative thinking 3) Confidence, self-efficacy, and overcoming imposter syndrome are core components of what you gain here that help you become (and feel like) a Neuro Virtuoso 4) Mentorship is one of the main ingredients we use to conjure an exceptional experience for every one of you. Each of you has your own path, it's time you have customized mentorship to get where you're going. 5) Simplicity > Complexity. Healthcare is congested with complexity and the solution is simplicity. I've broken down barriers to allow each of you to learn the way that you learn best, whether that's verbally, visually, or kinesthetically. 6) Empowerment is my passion; I only achieve success when you achieve success 7) The ONLY Place that offers you have direct access to the scientists, researchers, and their studies that yield our foremost evidence

Final Invitation before closing down SKOOL
We have officially opened up Neuro U on Mighty Networks because of the versatility and ease of use when compared to SKOOL and other platforms. We are excited about Neuro U and are transferring everything over to Mighty Networks. I have reached out to you individually, but in case you didn't get that and you only get this, please reach out to me on instagram @the.ot.professor, or reach out to @wtf.is.ot to get transferred over! We continue to add new content each week and are excited about how this community is growing!

Great HIT intervention Ideas!
Write your best HIT ideas here on this thread! In order to qualify as a HIT intervention you must have measured the heart rate and experienced it being elevated to 75-85% of the individual's heart rate max. Here is an awesome example of one: "home care client that I was covering another therapist for with a physio partner very resistant to HIT but also hesitant to try or push her clients. 48 year old recent cva (very minor compared to her médical history) - mild left sided weakness, some proprioception difficulties in her left foot. She struggles with stance control a lot which is further compromised by recent abdominal surgeries including a gastric tube. Propulsion, and lateral stability are great either. She is also fearful of pain in her abdominal wall. Before I had gone in Monday and then again today, she hadn’t done any stairs and this is her main goal - get up the stairs to shower. Day one I got her up 3 stairs which doesn’t seem like a lot but for her it was huge. Also got her to walk without her walker with light counter support. This fired up the physio who then started to push her more. I also think by showing her what she can do (thanks Phil for our discussion) was the right approach to help empower her. Today she was game for anything. She climbed 5 stairs four times with just close visual supervision compared to her moderate assistance Monday. We also did more counter walking with variable stepping and only one hand support and carrying. Then she walked with her IV adapted backpack on, which weighs just under ten pounds, throughout her house. It was so great to be apart of her seeing that her objectives can be achieved !! I won’t keep seeing her but the OT I was replacing and I had a great discussion and she said well yeah I can do stairs too - so awesome!! Hoping that helps the OTs confidence too!!" Let's see some of your thoughts!
