Hear from Arielle Resnick, PT, DPT, NCS, Advanced Clinical Specialist and Program Director for the Neuro Residency at Kessler Institute as she discusses the importance of targeted efforts towards improved cardiovascular fitness post stroke. She takes a deep dive into Behavior Modification and Exercise Prescription in the neurologic population and shows an inspiring video by Mary Free Bed Rehab Hospital that shows that amazing results are possible when we focus on intensity and individualized, progressive rehabilitation programs after neurologic events like stroke.
