CEU Courses for PTs

Recent research reveals a continued lack of outcome measure utilization in the clinic despite efforts from the APTA over the last ten years. This course will explore barriers to the sustainability of outcome measure programs in the clinic and discuss recent evidence demonstrating the power of outcome measures regarding prognosis, plan of care, and clinician decision-making for the stroke population.

Learn what excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) is and how to program exercise sessions to maximize its outcomes. Explore the relationship between different exercise interventions and increased caloric expenditure, weight management, and general health and wellness.

Emergency management of injuries in sport should be handled by a trained medical professional. An emergency action plan (EAP) is necessary for any school or university with venues where athletes exercise. An emergency action plan should be specific to your organization, venues, resources, and personnel. Sports medicine professionals must be competent in developing, implementing, and reviewing EAPs to protect athletes and reduce liability for the individual healthcare professional and institution. The instructor will provide an overarching review of the literature regarding the management of establishing emergency action plans to allow the participant to become proficient in establishing procedures and identifying personnel and resources to create EAPs.

In this engaging and clinically-focused course, Dr. Mike Studer will lead the discussion, presenting the latest evidence on Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This discussion will include new information about the pathophysiology, phenotypes (beyond considerations of relapse/remission), physical activity, neuroplasticity, and wellness management.

This course is designed to provide a well-rounded overview of light-based therapy and factors that influence photobiomodulation (PBM). Specific subject matter includes a reference-based review of how light interacts with tissue and impacts different pathologies, as well as dosing concepts for different clinical applications.

The GLP-1 medications have become a popular treatment for individuals with type II diabetes or obesity. Healthcare providers must understand these medications, including the benefits, adverse effects, and contraindications. For some individuals, these medications can have consequences such as loss of lean mass loss, which can affect their function, health, and longevity. This presentation will provide an evidence-based update on this topic.

Falls among older adults are a major healthcare problem. This course discusses evidence-based interventions to reduce fall risk, including assessment and modification of the home environment, inpatient and outpatient fall risk management, community-based programs, and individualized intervention focused on exercise, with case studies.

Falls can be devastating for older adults, and fall-related morbidity and mortality are on the rise. This course covers the epidemiology of falls, fall risk factors, and consequences of falls among older adults, as well as discusses guidelines for fall risk screening, how to choose fall risk functional measures, and how to complete the patient assessment.

Master skills to implement in your practice immediately with Continued Master Class. A comprehensive overview of current trends in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) acute care rehab will be reviewed in this course with real-time application for current modifications to practice.

Therapists who work in the pool need special training to be safe and effective in the aquatic realm. But sometimes, even the best providers fall into patterned behavior when working with patients with cardiopulmonary compromise in water. This course allows you to step outside the box and become inspired to think creatively in the pool. This webinar is also part of an ongoing series “20 Novel Aquatic Therapy Ideas” by Andrea Salzman, Director of Aquatic Therapy University.
