Research CEU Courses for PTs

This course will review definitions and guidelines on data and statistical tools commonly used within research and their application to physical therapy programming. We will review example research article breakdowns and the knowledge translation process to identify how to accurately manipulate, interpret, and implement data and statistics into your physical therapy practice.

This course will review the common terminology and definitions used within research and the role of research literature within physical therapy practice. We will review example techniques for breaking down the quality of research and ways to implement research within therapy practice.

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 course provides attendees with an understanding of how movement patterns contribute to osteoarthritis progression and how biomechanics impacts short- and long-term outcomes after joint arthroplasty. Clinical tools to objectively measure biomechanics, as well as interventions to restore normal movement patterns for individuals with knee osteoarthritis will be discussed. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This course aims to elevate your writing skills and improve the ability to communicate in academic, professional and research environments. Learners will examine tricky writing conventions, citations, writing organization, and professional voice, along with the chart writing habits we need to un-learn to communicate outside of our profession! This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Balance is a common focus of rehabilitation intervention, and objective assessment of balance is critical for guiding intervention and demonstrating patient progress. An understanding of the basics of balance outcome measures, how to select them, and how to utilize them correctly will enhance therapists’ practice and patient outcomes. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.
