Plenary Sessions & Speakers

“The plenary sessions were cutting edge. It was the opportunity of a lifetime to meet so many of the greats in the field of Neurorehabilitation in one place.”

— Kathryn Oden, PhD, Director of Assessment, Pate Rehabilitation Endeavors

How Can Brain Imaging and Stimulation Inform Rehabilitation?

How does the brain recover from disease or damage? Neuroimaging is offering novel insights into the structure, function and physiology of neuroplastic processes associated with rehabilitation. Recent advances in brain imaging and stimulation offer the ability to better understand how to best stimulate positive neural reorganization to promote restoration of function following neurologic injury.

Friday, 12 October 10:30 am – 12:00 pm

SPEAKERS Lara Boyd, MPT, PhD

Dr. Boyd is the Canada Research chair in neurobiology, a Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research scholar, and an associate professor in the Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia. She holds a degree in neuroscience and is also a physical therapist. Dr. Boyd directs the Brain Behaviour Lab at the University of British Columbia, which is dedicated to furthering understanding of how brain and behaviour are related. She is an expert in neuroimaging and neurophysiology, and uses a variety of cutting edge technology in her research. Dr. Boyd is a world leader in the field of neurological rehabilitation and has published over 50 peer-reviewed papers concerning rehabilitation, motor learning and/or brain imaging.

This symposium will first highlight cutting-edge research showing changes in both the structure and function of grey and white matter structures following neurologic insult. Recent data demonstrating disruptions in white matter tract organization and physiological shifts in brain excitability associated with both stroke and recovery of function will be discussed. Next, the presenters will show how advanced neuroimaging offers the ability to discover how different interventions, including non-invasive brain stimulation, may facilitate recovery from neurologic disease and damage.

Finally, presenters will offer insights and stimulate a discussion regarding how changes in brain function and structure may help or hinder recovery after various types of neurologic conditions.

Teresa Kimberley, PhD, PT

Dr. Kimberley is an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Program in Physical Therapy. She co-directs the Brain Plasticity Lab, which helped to pioneer the use of neuroimaging to inform and improve rehabilitation. Her training in physical therapy, rehabilitation and neuroscience has helped to refine neuroimaging and neuromodulation techniques in populations with stroke and focal dystonias.

Learning Objectives To support the attainment of knowledge, competence, and performance, the learner should be able to achieve the following objectives:

Michael Borich, PhD

Dr. Borich is a post-doctoral research fellow in the Brain Behaviour Laboratory at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Borich holds a degree in rehabilitation science and also a clinical degree in physical therapy.

His areas of expertise include white matter imaging, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and motor learning in healthy individuals and individuals with neurologic injury or disease. He is currently utilizing pioneering neuroimaging techniques to measure specific in vivo changes in myelin after stroke and in response to skilled motor training.

1. Learn how changes in brain anatomy and physiology can be revealed by advanced cutting-edge neuroimaging techniques.

2. Use stroke and focal hand dystonia as examples of neurologic injury and neurologic disorders to understand how structural and functional changes in the brain are linked with recovery of function and the capacity for re-learning.

3. Identify rehabilitation implications of major findings from state-of-the-art neuroimaging research that can lead to improved patient outcomes.
