Neuro Recovery After Stroke: OT CEU Course with Henry Hoffman, MS, OTR/L

Are you maximizing the critical window of opportunity for neuroplasticity after a stroke, or are you unintentionally prioritizing compensation over true recovery? 🧠 👍 Earn 1 hour of AOTA-approved occupational therapy continuing education after watching this course: https://otpotential.com/ceu-podcast-c... Episode Description: Every occupational therapy professional faces a core dilemma during post-stroke sessions: should we focus on helping the client adapt to their current limitations (compensation), or should we push for true neurological restoration? Research shows that the first few weeks following a stroke are a "critical window" where the brain is at a heightened state of plasticity—craving feedback and ready to rewire. In this episode, we are joined by Henry Hoffman, MS, OTR/L, co-founder of Saebo and a relentless advocate for neuroplasticity-based treatment. Henry challenges the traditional "hands-on" NDT approaches of the past, urging therapists to embrace "hands-off" motor learning that prioritizes high-repetition, task-specific practice—even if the movements look "ugly" at first. You’ll learn why underdosing is the silent crisis in stroke rehab, why focusing too heavily on one-handed ADLs in the acute phase can actually "kill" brain cells through learned non-use, and how to use brain-priming tools like mental practice and e-stim to supercharge recovery. Henry’s mission is clear: there is "no plateau in sight" because there is no expiration date on the brain’s ability to change. 🎧 Topics Covered: • The "Ugly" Phase of Recovery: Why early, messy motor learning is superior to perfect, facilitated movement • The Underdosing Crisis: Why 32 reps or 15 minutes of active movement per session is "fraudulent" for neuro recovery • 10 Principles of Neuroplasticity: How to apply the Kleim and Jones (2008) framework to every session • Learned Non-Use: Why strengthening the "healthy" limb too early can lead to "neuronal murder" • Restorative vs. Compensatory: Knowing when to push for recovery and when to move to compensation • The Supporting Cast: Using e-stim, mirror box therapy, and action observation as brain primers • Patient Education: Explaining the penumbra and the "turbo drive" state of the acute brain to build client buy-in • The "Distal-Proximal" Shift: Why we should stop waiting and get the hand involved as early as possible 🎙 Guest: • Henry Hoffman, MS, OTR/L – Co-founder of Saebo, Host of the No Plateau Podcast, and Neuroplasticity Expert • Sarah Lyon, OTR/L – Host and Founder of OT Potential 📅 Episode No. 126 | Release Date: January 30, 2026 🎉 Earn CEU Credit Join the OT Potential Club to take a quiz and earn 1 hour of AOTA-approved occupational therapy continuing education: https://otpotential.com/ceu-podcast-c...
