CEU Courses for PTs

This course discusses what is normal and abnormal in regards to pediatric sleep and potential causes of sleep dysfunction. This course enables the physical therapist to screen for sleep disorders or dysfunction, provide appropriate interventions to assist with sleep within the physical therapist scope of practice as well as help to identify proper professionals to refer patients to when concerns arise. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

A 2-hour intermediate continuing education course for clinicians interested in strengthening their knowledge and skills in screening the scalp, hair, and nails as part of an integumentary systems review. Normal and abnormal anatomy and physiology are covered. The content is relevant to a primary care approach to physical therapy examination across the continuum of care including inpatient, outpatient, and wellness-based physical therapist practices. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Researchers have shown that corrective and restorative rehabilitation has become an integral part of a post-COVID-19 patients’ recovery program. This discussion will cover current evidence regarding the negative physiological effects of COVID-19, medical management and rehabilitation, exercise programming, using technology for monitoring, and the role of the physical therapist. This presentation is for the physical therapist who desires an evidence-based update on this topic. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Physical Therapy is no longer limited to the musculoskeletal system. With the introduction of direct access and privately owned PT clinics and telehealth, therapists play an important role in screening other systems to refer patients to appropriate medical providers. The focus of this course is to differentiate between exclusive musculoskeletal origin or pain secondary to other systemic causes. This aids in providing effective timely treatment to the patient, identifying red flags thus saving time and resources. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This course guides clinicians in their efforts to create and implement an evidence-based rehabilitative program for upper extremity impairment and function specific to persons with Parkinson Disease (PD) and those recovering from a stroke. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This course covers common pelvic floor dysfunction that impacts cisgender men, including erectile dysfunction, prostate issues, and pelvic floor rehabilitation post-prostatectomy. Male anatomy & physiology is discussed, as will rehabilitation best practices and current evidence. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Review and advance your clinical practice for persons with neuropathy, from examination through intervention. Be prepared to be challenged in some of your own understandings and beliefs about the various forms of neuropathy including those caused by or originating from: diabetes, Vitamin B12 deficiency, familial, compressive (stenosis), inflammatory, infectious, autoimmune, toxin, chemotherapy, traumatic, and more. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

BPPV is a common vestibular disorder that most often is treated in limited sessions with high success rates, however, there are complex, atypical and refractory presentations that can be challenging to manage. This course is designed to help guide clinicians in establishing better understandings of differential diagnosis e.g. BPPV vs migraine, proposed pathophysiology e.g. apogeotropic posterior canal BPPV, refractory BPPV presentations especially in older adults and develop treatment strategies to more optimally manage patients with atypical/complex BPPV. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

The purpose of this course is to introduce the vestibular clinician and researcher to the emerging concept of remote telehealth for vestibular rehabilitation and the use of digital tools that may enhance outcomes. This course will cover limitations of current clinic-based practice and how they can be addressed with digital health tools, the user-centered iterative design process for developing a gamified gaze stability exercise program, validation procedures, challenges associated with the development of digital health tools for vestibular rehabilitation, feasibility and efficacy study design and preliminary pilot study outcomes. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This presents common pediatric diagnoses leading to peripheral or central vestibular dysfunction. The presenter will discuss screening tools, diagnostic tests, outcome measures, and physical therapy interventions for children with suspected vestibular dysfunction. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.
