Course Overview
This Science of Stroke Recovery training is an eight weeks online course. This course was designed and offered through the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and was delivered through the EDX platform. The top experts in this field explain this online course.
Human Anatomy has sparked a heated debate about whether and how a person can fully recover from a severe stroke. Anatomy knowledge has led to a slew of questions about body functions that are frequently implicated in stroke. An extension of human anatomy fundamentals to functional anatomy has formed the foundation of intervention approaches for functional recovery undertaken by various healthcare professionals, which is guiding the ultimate goals of post-stroke rehabilitation programs for individuals regaining independence and quality of life. As a result, this course has been specifically designed to outline the stroke process of recovery and its underlying scientific rationales.
Students when they visit the Edx site will get the option to enroll in 2 tracks which are available on the Edx platform. The free audit track offers only limited access or they can choose and upgrade to the paid version which is called the verified track.
