#126 Neuro Recovery After Stroke with Henry Hoffman
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you fully using the critical window of opportunity after stroke to support neuro-recovery during your OT sessions—or are you unintentionally devoting valuable rehab time to compensation?
In today’s episode, we’re joined by Henry Hoffman to explore why prioritizing recovery—when possible—matters, and how occupational therapy professionals can more intentionally drive neuroplastic change after stroke.
Together, we break down core principles that support recovery-oriented practice, including:
- Motor learning over compensation
- High-repetition, task-specific practice
- Sensory-rich feedback to shape movement
We also unpack emerging neuroscience from the past few years that supports this approach—and translate it into real-world practice. You’ll hear practical examples of what these principles can look like across education, assessment, and intervention, helping you reflect on how recovery-focused your current stroke practice truly is.
Whether you work in inpatient rehab, outpatient neuro, home health, or education, this episode will challenge and refine how you think about recovery, compensation, and the powerful role OT professionals play in post-stroke neuro-rehabilitation.
