The Stroke Anatomy & Evaluation course is engineered to help you understand the vessels of the brain from a structural and functional perspective. The course has an extensive review of the anatomy and physiology of brain hemodynamics along with detailing the variations of stroke etiology, types and complications. It covers in detail what to include and how to perform an extensive "stroke risk" history and neurological examination that allows the practitioner to be thorough. 

This course for the first time, gives the chiropractor/manual medicine provider risk factors and evaluation tools that can be performed in any clinical setting, to be able to assess and manage risk prior to delivering care. In addition, this course offers a "Clinical Protocol" to triage your patient based upon examination findings and has a section on Clinical Grand Rounds to give further insight in creating an accurate diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan.
