CEU Courses for PTs

In this session, participants will learn the definition and incidence of bullying in adult living communities and day centers, including what older adult bullying looks like in this population. Characteristics of older adult bullies, as well as their targets and gender differences, will be explored. The reasons why bullying occurs, as well as the five different types of bullies, are defined. Interventions for the organization, the bully, and the target will be reviewed to help communities minimize (and prevent, where possible) bullying and mitigate the effects on the target. Addressing bullying behavior among older adults is critically important for enhancing the quality of life and promoting emotional well-being; strategies to create caring and empathic communities for all residents and staff members are reviewed.

This course will help practitioners with aquatic familiarity take their practice to the next depth! Learn how to apply principles of neuroplasticity in the aquatic environment with an underwater treadmill and more.

Many low back pain courses teach clinicians a biomedical approach to explaining low back pain symptoms, directly contradicting the clinical practice guidelines. This course will help clinicians educate low back pain patients to avoid iatrogenic effects and optimize outcomes.

This seminar provides practical information about ethics from a clinical perspective. Basic principles of ethics as they relate to healthcare and physical therapy are reviewed. Behaviors that are considered unethical by most credentialing bodies are considered, as well as health care/therapy codes of ethics. The CELIBATE and RIPS methods for analyzing ethical dilemmas are reviewed with case studies to demonstrate use.

Studies indicate that up to 95% of women with chronic low back pain also report symptoms consistent with pelvic floor dysfunction. You may not be a pelvic health specialist, but there are many tools that you can access to allow you to screen and perform a differential diagnosis for pelvic floor dysfunction, treat your patients for low back pain in a pelvic floor-informed way, and know when to refer out to a specialist.

Clavicle fractures account for 5% of upper extremity fractures and up to 15% in children. Scapular fractures account for 3% to 5% of all shoulder girdle fractures. Eighty to 95% of all scapular fractures are accompanied by other serious injuries like shoulder fractures, collarbone, and ribs. Clavicle and scapular fractures can cause serious impairment to the biomechanics of the upper extremity and function. This webinar revisits the anatomy of the clavicle and scapula and explains the fracture classification, radiological appearance, treatment strategies, and complications of these fractures.

People who use wheelchairs may also use assistive technology such as speech-generating devices, computers, tablets, and smartphones.
