- Advanced theory of concussion (30 min)
- Shaken Baby Syndrome - an infant concussion and reflexes (1,5 hours)
2. MNRI® Reflex Integration: Concept and Stages of post-concussion recovery (4 hours)
3. MNRI® research: Reflex Profile in post-concussion before and after the MNRI® Program
- Brain mapping and Neurotransmitters analysis results in individuals with concussion before and after the MNRI® Reflex Integration Program. Advanced information based on group study. (1 hour)
4. The role of reflexes in concussion and post-concussion (30 min)
5. MNRI® Reflex Integration Advanced Protocol for post-concussion (8 hrs)
Learner Objectives
The student will be able to:
- obtain and show advanced knowledge about the role and importance of reflexes during trauma injury and post-concussion;
- explain conditions and reflex protective mechanisms that should be recognized in the presence of persistent symptoms;
- describe typical regress/progress of reflex and brain functioning in post-concussion;
- describe stages of acute and post-concussion trauma effects;
- categorize different challenges related to traumatic brain injury and utilizing essential reflexes for improvement and recovery from the concussion symptoms;
- show the knowledge of exercises and techniques of “10 stones” and Reflex Protocol;
- demonstrate skills and MNRI® techniques for post-concussion recovery utilization in practical work;
- individualize the MNRI® Post-Concussion protocol to the needs, challenges and age of the client.
