What does this course tell?
(Please note that the following overview content is from the original platform)
My name is Bryce Browning and I am an OTSin a doctoral occupational therapy program. I completed a capstone at UnityPoint in Des Moines in Spring of 2023 and I am excited to share this experience with you via a Udemy course. Mirror therapy, as well as ortho and Neuro settings are all passions of mine and Imade it my goal to make mirror therapy more accessible to clients and clinicians. This course covers the literature surrounding mirror therapy, the capstone experience, and the artifacts/legacy of this specific capstone. The artifacts such as the blueprint and manual, which will be detailed later in the course, are all available to anyone who takes this course at no cost. If you are a clinician wishing to incorporate mirror therapy more into your current techniques and you have any questions, please reach out to me and I would be happy to provide additional information. There is a short quiz at the end of this class, and it is designed to help the student identify areas of the class that they should look into further, as well as hammer home the important topics and information presented in this class. I hope you enjoy the course.
