SUMMARY:Current Concepts of Exercise\, Pain Science\, & Manual Therapy - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:An emerging paradigm shift in healthcare is to focus on wellness and prevention to address modifiable risk factors of disease rather than wait until disease is present to intervene. This course will provide attendees with an overview of prominent orthopedic rehabilitation interventions and their relationship to wellness and patient care. Current evidence will be synthesized to give attendees guidance on effective implementation in clinical practice. A proposed interventionframework and clinical examples will be provided to facilitate practical patient care.

SUMMARY:Exercise in Geriatric Rehabilitation - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The latest practice analysis identifies over 53% of rehabilitation patients are over the age of 65 years. Many of these older adults have functional limitations due to the fact that older adults are generally less physically active than theiryounger counterparts or due to difficulties returning to normal function following illness or injury. Exercise is a non- pharmacological intervention that can have beneficial effects on multiple domains of function. However\, the application of exercise by health care professionals is often under-dosed leading to minimal changes in this patient population. Olderadults can pose unique challenges for clinicians due to their sedentary lifestyle and potential for complex medical history. \nRehabilitation professionals are experts in movementscience and should play an integral role in prescription of appropriate physical activity to ensure maximal levels of success with older adults\, so we need to do better for this new majority of patients. This course will provide you with a better understanding of primary aging processes that may affect an older adult’s functional status. An evidence-basedapproach for exercise prescription will be discussed to ensure that exercise science principles are used during plan of care development.

SUMMARY:Low Vision Identification\, Assessment\, & Treatment to Maximize Functional Skills - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:An estimated 285 million people are currently suffering from low-vision and visual impairment impacting their daily tasks world-wide (Zetterlund\, Lundqvist\, & Richter\, 2019). In the United States alone these deficits are costing over 16 billion in healthcare dollars which carries a significant burden for patients (Shah et al\, 2018). As rehabilitation professionals we have the unique opportunity to identify ways to maximize a patients’ function and reduce burden of care. This course will aim to better equip therapists in the understanding of low vision diagnoses and how to service this population in orderto maximize function safely. \nThis course will focus on the ability select appropriate functional evaluations for their discipline in order to modify and establish treatment plans for the low vision patient. Immediate-use resources will be identified for therapists toimplement next-day in clinic for treatment effectiveness. Participants to this course will be able to identify the common low vision diagnoses impacting patient function. Participants will leave understanding the link between balance and visionwill be defined with patient risk factors discussed fortherapists to better identify “at-risk” clientele and grow their practice.

SUMMARY:Positioning & Movement During Play - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Play is a natural and essential part of our children’s lives that we want to support with active engagement and provide opportunities for learning. There are a variety of benefits to play\, but it is important to understand the different kinds of play and how we can expand upon it in our treatment of children. We need to understand our children\, by reading their cues\, and engaging in interactions to build their brains through play. We want to provide opportunities to increase the neural connections to improve their quality of movement. Our children are intrinsically motivated during play and explore their environments to help develop and strengthen their motor skills. Efficient movements of the body are impacted by the coordination of neuromuscular\, cardiopulmonary\, and sensory systems. Motor development impacts the ability of children to explore their environments\, but also has a crucial role in their cognitive\, emotional\, and social development. \nThis course will improve a therapist’s understanding of aclient’s neuromuscular and sensory-motor development tosupport optimal positioning and movement. Therapists will better understand the effectiveness of interventions to helpimprove learning\, success with everyday activities\, academic achievement\, and social interactions in a variety of environments. Strategies discussed will support body awareness\, strengthening\, and motor planning skills foreffective execution of movements during play with goal-directed activities. Attendees will review the importance for team collaboration to provide motivating\, but challenging\, movement activities to support the child in a variety of environments.

SUMMARY:Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Since stroke is one of the leading conditions seen by therapists and considering stroke is the leading cause of sensorimotor disability\, this is the strongest evidence-based approach to helping an individual regain motor functioning and skills. The effectiveness of this approach is well- established yet the formal structured use of this “vehicle” for stroke recovery is seldom used due to the barriers within the traditional rehabilitation model\, such as insurance reimbursement. Consequently\, this webinar will go over ways to implement this approach with adults and children through the modification of the traditional approach to CIMT. This workshop will give the participant another approach to add to their stroke toolbox so they can immediately implement this within the clinic or as a home program.

SUMMARY:Comprehensive Management of Falls in Older Adults - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Falls among older adults remain one the most pressing issues for rehabilitation professionals. More than 95% of hip fractures are caused by falling and falls cost the healthcare system about $31 billion dollars annually. The good news is that falls are not a normal part of aging and that they are preventable. Additionally\, many of the risk factors associated with falling can be modified with the help of healthcare professionals. But clinicians have to understand the complexnature of falls and implement the most up to date interventions to effectively manage these patients. \nThis course will provide attendees a deeper understanding of the interplay between risk factors associated with falls. Additionally\, attendees will review and practice the most evidence-based examination and evaluative tools available to be able to develop the best individualized plan of care of their patient and document skilled justification for treatment. Finally\, the course content will outline the current best practices and interventions available to healthcare professionals in managing falls and aid in the prevention of future falls.

SUMMARY:Maintenance Therapy - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:A landmark decision by a federal judge in January 2013 changed significantly a therapist’s ability to meet the needs of his/her patient – that decision was on the Jimmo v. Sebelius Case\, which allowed skilled therapists and nurses to bill for “maintenance” care. Maintenance therapy differs from rehabilitation and most therapists were instructed in school to avoid the term “maintenance.” The purpose of this course is to help all PT/OT staff gain a thorough knowledge of the laws that govern maintenance therapy\, and the ramifications to your clinical practice. Furthermore\, this course will address key documentation principles that you’ll want to follow to prove medical necessity of maintenance therapy. \nAfter attending this course\, you will be ready to know ifyour patient needs maintenance therapy and how to demonstrate that conclusively by reviewing key case studies provided be Medicare.

SUMMARY:A Vision-Based Approach to Torticollis - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Torticollis incidents continue to grow annually\, however\,treatments remain predominantly manual therapy based. Many infants with torticollis present without limitations in their active and/or passive neck motion leaving therapists questioning the best manual therapy approach to use. There are currently no studies on the impact of treating infants with torticollis with a vision-based approach. \nThis course will demonstrate how to assess infants with torticollis to determine the impact that their vision is playing on their head position. Participants will learn three different vision-based treatment approaches to use with torticollis patients for quick\, noticeable improvement in head position within one week of implementation.

SUMMARY:Neuroplasticity and Neurological Disorders
DESCRIPTION:This course provides a commonsense perspective of the immediate and long-lasting effects brain diseases have on the human brain. Presented are new resources\, research\, and ideas to leverage brain plasticity with the aim to reverse brain damage\, and promote recovery. Included will be a discussion of the tools\, and techniques therapists have to ameliorate pain\, and reduce or halt potential brain damage caused by Parkinson’s\, Alzheimer’s\, Acquired Brain Injury (incl. TBI and stroke)\, phantom limb pain\, spasticity and headache. These populations\, cumulatively\, represent over 10 million diagnoses per year- in the U.S. alone. \nParticipants of this one-day interactive course will haveglobal insight as to the profound plastic nature of the human brain\, and plasticity’s effect on both amplifying as well asameliorating these diseases and their sequelae. The brain iscommand and control of every one of the trillions of cells in the human body. Most clinicians have a little training that provides insight into this wondrous organ. The aim of this course is to equip clinicians with tools\, strategies\, and treatments to work in tandem with the patient’s brain to reduce pain and increase function. At the core of thesetreatment options is the melding of bleeding edge neuroscience with clinical practice.

DESCRIPTION:Neck pain is a common complaint among the general population and studies indicate that the overall incidence of neck pain is increasing worldwide. Clinicians need up to date\, evidenced based\, assessment and intervention tools to effectively treat this common condition. Evidence shows that a classification framework to identify which patients respond best to certain treatments results in superior outcomes when compared to a non-classification approach. Therapists can learn these newer models of classifying and treatment of the impairments associated with neck pain. \nThis workshop will outline the various classifications of patients who present with neck pain and identify which interventions are most effective for each stage of the condition. The assessment and reasoning skills gained from this course will allow the clinician to immediately apply evidenced based treatments to their practice setting and improve not only functional outcomes but patient satisfaction.

SUMMARY:Neuroplasticity and Neurological Disorders - Tucson
DESCRIPTION:This course provides a commonsense perspective of the immediate and long-lasting effects brain diseases have on the human brain. Presented are new resources\, research\, and ideas to leverage brain plasticity with the aim to reverse brain damage\, and promote recovery. Included will be a discussion of the tools\, and techniques therapists have to ameliorate pain\, and reduce or halt potential brain damage caused by Parkinson’s\, Alzheimer’s\, Acquired Brain Injury (incl. TBI and stroke)\, phantom limb pain\, spasticity and headache. These populations\, cumulatively\, represent over 10 million diagnoses per year- in the U.S. alone. \nParticipants of this one-day interactive course will have global insight as to the profound plastic nature of the human brain\, and plasticity’s effect on both amplifying as well as ameliorating these diseases and their sequelae. The brain is command and control of every one of the trillions of cells in the human body. Most clinicians have a little training that provides insight into this wondrous organ. The aim of this course is to equip clinicians with tools\, strategies\, and treatments to work in tandem with the patient’s brain to reduce pain and increase function. At the core of these treatment options is the melding of bleeding edge neuroscience with clinical practice.

SUMMARY:Best Practice in Managing Patients with Dementia - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Older adults with dementia are 9 times as likely to require a stay in a skilled nursing facility as their cognitively intact counterparts. Skilled rehabilitation (including physical therapy\,occupational therapy\, speech therapy\, and nursing) is an integral part of an older adult’s return to the optimal functional level of independence following an injury or illness. Patients with dementia pose unique challenges to rehabilitation professionals. Severe deficits in attention\, judgment\, memory\, communication\, and language are common in individuals with dementia. The progressive nature of dementia results inincreased dependence on caregivers as well as cost to the healthcare system with worldwide costs of $604 billion in 2010. \nIt is commonly thought that patients with dementia cannot benefit from rehabilitation services because of behaviors\, lack of communication\, or difficulties in learning. However\,current literature indicates IWDs can benefit fromrehabilitation as much as adults without dementia. With the proper knowledge and training\, rehabilitation clinicians areable to provide dementia-specific\, person-centered care\, which can maximize rehabilitation outcomes by maintaining oreven improving physical performance and function and thereby reduce healthcare costs. This course will provide you with best practice and evidence-based approaches to overcome these challenges to improve functional outcomes for these patients.

SUMMARY:Strength Training in Geriatric Rehabilitation - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Sarcopenia (muscular atrophy related to aging and sedentary lifestyle) is one of the most common geriatric syndromes compromising the function of up to 40% of the aging population. Sarcopenia contributes to decreased gait speed\, reduced grip strength\, increased fall risk\, and functional decline. This muscular dysfunction is best treated through the prescription of progressive resistance exercise. The individuals best positioned in the health care system to treat this health issue are rehabilitation professionals\, especially those who are encountering these individuals while managing injury\, illness\, or long-term declines in function. \nThis webinar will improve your understanding of how to prescribe strength training for the geriatric patient. Participants will learn how to immediately apply these strategies to improve functional tasks like stair negotiation\, walking endurance\, bed mobility\, and transfers. Differences in types of strength prescription and types of strength exercises will be defined to help understand the application in rehabilitation. Attendees will be able to immediately take this information and apply it in their existing rehabilitation programs to improve the outcomes for their patients.

SUMMARY:Telehealth Ergonomics for Healthcare Professionals - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:For years\, the American Physical Therapy Associationhas been telling us as practitioners: “Telehealth will not replace traditional clinical care – but it will give flexibility to provide services efficiently. Quicker screening\, assessment and referral can improve care coordination within collaborative delivery models.” They go on to further admit what’s now undeniable: “In physical therapy\, patients /clients are asking for more time-efficient and less costly care models. Busy lifestyles make it difficult for greater numbers of people to attend traditional BIW / TIW appointments. Applications of telehealth in physical therapy already allows PT’s to better communicate with patients / clients and provide more flexible care.” These statements were all made prior to the new realities of a post-COVID-19 clinical landscape. \nTelehealth Ergonomics is a novel approach to computer workstation ergonomic assessment and modification whosetime has come – especially with the current pressures made starkly clear by the new COVID-19 reality. This emerging wayto work effectively and efficiently will reduce the personalcost of obtaining expert ergonomic assessments andinterventions and provide an evidence-based and systematic program of completing ergonomic assessments remotely. It will also offer the scrupulous practitioner a new area of expertise and commerce. It couldn’t come at a better time.

SUMMARY:Development of Executive Function in Children
DESCRIPTION:Executive function development begins at a young age and progresses into early adulthood\, allowing a person to be independent\, efficient\, and successful in an ever-changing world. Executive function skills are the foundational blocks of learning and academic success that help drive our behaviors and emotions\, allowing us to have successful relationships. Development of these skills involves a gradual process that is individualized for each child\, based on the maturation of the prefrontal cortex. Genetics and environment have an interactive and dynamic role as well. Executive function skills are crucial for our children to meet today’s academic demands and navigate the social expectations. \nThis course will provide an understanding of executive function\, the core dimensions\, and how to support overall skills with practical strategies which can be used in a variety of environments. Neuroplasticity allows for the development and enhancement of executive function so that children can understand expectations\, follow rules\, control emotion\, have social relationships\, school readiness\, and academic success. Participants will review how to modify existing activities by making them more motivating and enjoyable\, while providing challenges to promote and enable enhancement through active learning and novel play schemes. The goal is to support children to be able to plan\,resist temptations\, regulate emotions\, and stay on tasks to achieve independent success in their daily lives.

SUMMARY:Distracted and Disorganized Kids in a Digital Generation: Techniques to Influence Neuroplasticity\, Manage Screen Time & Implement Sensory Smart Movement - Scottsdale
DESCRIPTION:Gen Z is the first generation to grow up with smart technology. The use of screens is not just impacting social skills and human interaction\, it’s compromising neurosensory development! \nAs learning and leisure time becomes increasingly screen-based\, children are over-using their visual systems at the expense of exploring the environment and activating their senses for learning through movement. While the impact of screens on social interactions and self-esteem are being increasingly recognized\, clinicians and educators need to understand the potential implications as it relates to neurosensory development. \nAs clinicians and educators\, we are equipped with many programs and interventions based on neurodevelopmental principles. Now\, we need to apply them in the context of an increasingly digital world. \nTreating requires a new framework to ensure we activate the senses for learning and model the habits of success. This is especially true for children with ADHD\, Autism\, LD\, sensory processing\, and motor deficits\, who\, at baseline\, require more opportunities for multi-sensory integration to increase attention and enhance brain development for learning than their neurotypical peers. \nIn this program\, you will enhance your existing therapeutic techniques to: \n\nDetermine a child’s digital and sensory-learning profile to inform treatment planning\nIdentify the influence of smart technology and screen time on neuroplasticity in children with ADHD\, LD\, Autism\, and SPD\nRebalance the brain-body connection through controlled activation of multiple senses\nOptimize connection and cognition while supporting recovery from dysregulation and digital overload\nInstill the habits of success: mindset\, state regulation\, and movement

SUMMARY:Assessment & Treatment of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Dizziness accounts for 5.6 million clinic visits a year in the US. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most frequent single cause of isolated positional vertigo\, accounting for nearly one-half of patients with peripheral vestibular dysfunction. Approximately 17-41% of patients seen in dizziness clinics and 25% of patients sent for vestibular testing have BPPV. Most often\, BPPV can be easily diagnosed and treated with 100% resolution of symptoms in clinics within 1-2 treatment sessions. However\, there has been an increasing number of cases with atypical presentation of BPPV needing clinical expertise in recognition\, assessment\, and treatment. As a practicing healthcare professional\, no matter what your expertise is\, adding knowledge and treatment methods to your toolbox for this disorder is imperative for supplementation of a complete therapeutic skill set. \nPracticing healthcare professionals will leave this workshop with a clear understanding of the normal functioning of the inner ear’s vestibular system\, pathophysiology of BPPV and its variants\, and application of a simple clinical algorithm to help make differential diagnosis of BPPV. A review of current clinical practice guidelines will be included to strengthen the differential diagnosis process and clinical application of treatment of both typical and atypical BPPV. A case study in the end will include participant’s participation to recognize signs and symptoms of typical and atypical BPPV\, make a diagnosis\, and then prepare a treatment plan. In addition\, participants will learn to recognize when a patient is not presenting with BPPV and when to refer to a neurologist or another medical specialist. Multiple videos will be used to demonstrate clinical assessment and treatment maneuvers of BPPV and its variants.

SUMMARY:Utilizing Effective Skilled Maintenance Therapy - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Because of a landmark court case: Jimmo vs. Sebelius (2011)\, whereby the plaintiffs argued the federal guidelines that Medicare was required to cover skilled care for those who needed it to maintain their current level of performance\, or to slow a decline in health and/or function\, maintenance therapy was formally proposed as a reimbursable service. In 2013\, a settlement was put into place that effectively removed the “improvement requirement.” In 2018\, according to the Center for Medicare Advocacy\, despite the established guidelines\, many people are still being denied access to maintenance care and therapy – “in part because many health care providers have not been properly educated\, and in part because many providers are still skeptical that Medicare would alter its coverage practices”. \nThis essential course will provide an overview of “Maintenance Therapy”\, how and when it is appropriate\, what environment it can be performed in\, what type of interventions can be maintenance\, how to DOCUMENT interventions\, including goals and dispel the myth that improvement and/or progress is necessary! Participants will learn how to document “skill”\, determine frequency and duration of services and be compliant with the LAW.
