Hi Everyone, It’s Mike from OTu,
We are excited to announce a big new update to the NeuroRehab app, authored by Dr. Sara Kraft and created in Partnership with the Medical University of South Carolina.
In this new update, all intervention videos have been carefully reorganized by impairments or functional movements to improve searchability while improving usability in the clinic and the classroom.
A full examination of a neuro patient has been converted into an interactive learning experience, guiding students and new clinicians through the thought process of an expert during the evaluation session. This experience includes formative feedback and interactive quizzing to help develop clinical reasoning. These e-learning modules allow for score reporting and tracking of time spent in each module
Case studies built on clinic-based patient videos have been created to enhance clinical reasoning development and to create opportunities to engage students in context-rich learning environments. These cases include clients in the following categories:
Stroke
Spinal cord injury
Traumatic brain injury
Parkinson’s disease
Wheelchair- Evaluation and intervention
The NeuroRehab app also includes a centralized hub for available online resources and websites to facilitate clinician and student access to enhance evidence-based clinical practice.
The next generation of learning in Neurological Rehabilitation. Brought to you by the team at OTu!

Analysis of Occupation
The Analysis of Occupation App was designed to bring the client into the classroom! Based on the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework1, the OTu team followed clients into their home setting, capturing glimpses of activity or occupation in the context of the clients living environment. Multiple angle videos allow for detailed analysis and discussion as young clinicians develop the skill of activity analysis.
The app starts with the “Activity Analysis Instruction” section, which includes analysis and documentation of three common activities by Dr. Jayna Niblock Ph.D., OTD, OTR/L, BCP, BCTS:
Feeding
Toileting
Money management
The clients featured in the app span a spectrum of different genders, ethnicities, and conditions including:
“Typical” male
“Typical” female
Client Post Total Hip Replacement
Client with Congestive Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Client with C5 Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
Client Post Cerebrovascular Accident
Each Client was filmed performing a range of activities in their home environment:
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
Instrumented Activities of Daily Living (IADL’s)
Health Management
Rest and Sleep
Leisure
Case studies and analysis worksheets are integrated into the app for classroom activities, discussion, and development of activity analysis skills.

NeuroAnatomy
We are proud to announce our exciting new NeuroAnatomy App.
Intentionally designed with progressively more challenging activities, it provides opportunities for the learner to build a solid foundation of neuroanatomy for clinical practice. Beautiful graphics include an interactive 3D model of the brain and spinal cord, with actual human anatomical slices that are labeled with explanations.
Content expert Charlotte Chatto, PT, Ph.D., Board Certified Clinical Specialist in Neurologic Physical Therapy has had a passion for finding creative ways of teaching neuroanatomy and treating patients with neurologic conditions for over 30 years.
Features:
In the four Neuroanatomy Explorer Challenges, each with multiple sections, practice questions cover basic concepts, structures, functions, and dysfunctions of the brain and spinal cord. Interactive Mini-Games are incorporated into the Challenges to reward the learner with fun facts about the nervous system.
In Learn by Slice, the learner can choose a slice of the brain or spinal cord and explore the major structures on the slice by clicking on anatomical pins to reveal explanations.
In Learn by Tract, the learner can understand connections between anatomical structures, through short explainer videos, overview images, and clickable structures, to reveal the location and function of major motor and sensory tracts.
