2023 Neurology Collection CEU Courses for PTs

Learn the evidence and the application of mastering your soft skills to optimize the patient experience and patient engagement. Be ready to improve in every aspect of patient care from the interview, diagnosis, education, intervention, and home exercise prescription.

This course examines the current evidence for managing the client with stroke in regards to outcome measures, prognostic tools, orthotic prescription, and treatment interventions. Additionally, it will discuss barriers to community access and reintegration.

Master skills to implement in your practice immediately with continued Master Class. The complexity of Lewy body dementias (Parkinson’s disease dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies) and evaluation and intervention approaches for PTs, OTs, and SLPs will be examined in this class. Case studies emphasize opportunities and approaches for interprofessional collaboration to provide comprehensive, person-centered care.

This course will discuss documentation across the continuum of spinal cord injury with emphasis on documentation of short- and long-term goals, outcome measures, functional treatment interventions, and procurement of specialized DME including letters of medical necessity (LMNs) for wheelchairs.

This course will provide an overview of cueing gait rehabilitation for patients with Parkinson’s disease. Common cueing rehabilitation techniques that can be used with people with Parkinson’s disease will be discussed and demonstrated.

This course will focus on the signs and symptoms which result from impairments in the cervical spine commonly seen after a concussive event, and how to distinguish them from the overlapping manifestations from the multiple systems potentially involved. Best practice recommendations from the recent Clinical Practice Guideline for rehabilitation after a concussive event (Concussion CPG) will be discussed, and strategies for intervention and evidence for clinical management will be presented.

Dizziness is one of the most common symptoms after concussion. This course will focus on specific vestibular issues that may arise with concussion, as well as how to treat those issues to maximize recovery. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.

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.

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.

This course provides a foundation on which to treat persons with peripheral vestibular hypofunction. The Vestibular Hypofunction Clinical Practice Guideline is utilized via case based learning and recent vestibular hypofunction literature is discussed in the management of persons with peripheral vestibular disorders. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.
