Clinical Applications of Durable Medical Equipment for Activities of Daily Living
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5460Level: Introductory1 Hour
Clients who use wheelchair seating and mobility equipment often have other durable medical equipment (DME) needs, as well. Durable medical equipment is typically used to assist activities of daily living and so clinicians are an active participant in selecting the appropriate equipment for a client’s needs. This course will address bath/shower equipment, toileting equipment, patient lifts, and adaptive car seats.

Acute SCI Management: What to Do and Why It Matters
Presented by Allyson Muehlemann, PT, DPT, EdD, NCS
Live WebinarWed, Jul 1, 2026 at 6:00 pm EDT
Course: #5442Level: Advanced3 Hours
Acute spinal cord injury (SCI) is clinically complex and often unpredictable, with patients presenting as medically fragile and at high risk for secondary complications. In this environment, physical therapists are required to make rapid, high-stakes decisions while balancing safety, recovery potential, and medical stability. This course introduces a practical clinical framework designed to guide prioritization of assessment and intervention in the acute phase of SCI. The focus is on helping clinicians identify what matters most, when it matters most, in order to support safe progression of mobility and recovery. Emphasis is placed on managing common acute challenges such as respiratory compromise, cardiovascular instability, autonomic dysfunction, and immobility-related complications. Participants will learn how to structure evaluation and treatment strategies that are both efficient and purposeful within medically complex presentations. Ultimately, this framework is designed to support clinicians in preparing patients for the next phase of rehabilitation by optimizing early decision-making, maximizing functional potential, and reducing preventable secondary complications.

Managing Spasticity and Tone in SCI Rehabilitation
Presented by Lauren Young, PT, DPT, NCS, CSRS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5396Level: Advanced2 Hours
This course breaks down the science behind why spasticity develops after spinal cord injury, how to measure it accurately, and what the evidence says about treating it. Along the way we will challenge common clinical assumptions and build a practical framework for deciding when to treat, when to hold back, and how to work effectively with the rest of the interdisciplinary team for better patient outcomes. Whether you are new to SCI rehabilitation or looking to sharpen your clinical reasoning, participants will leave with a practical outcome measure battery, an evidence-based intervention framework, and a working knowledge of pharmacological and interventional options directly relevant to their practice.

Evidence Based Physical Therapy Interventions for Huntington’s Disease
Presented by Chelsea Richardson, PT, DPT, NCS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5437Level: Introductory1.5 Hours
This course will detail the pathophysiology, etiology, incidence/prevalence, clinical manifestations and PT considerations for assessment and treatment when working with individuals with Huntington's Disease.

Bowel, Bladder, and Sexuality Following Spinal Cord Injury
Presented by Kristen Cezat, PT, DPT, NCS, ATP/SMS
Live WebinarWed, Aug 5, 2026 at 6:00 pm EDT
Course: #5450Level: Introductory2 Hours
This continuing education course provides therapists with an evidence-based overview of bowel, bladder, and sexual health following spinal cord injury (SCI). Participants will examine the pathophysiology and interdisciplinary management strategies that promote health, independence, participation, and quality of life. The course emphasizes the therapist's role in patient education, identification of complications, clinical decision-making, and referral to appropriate specialists. Practical recommendations for facilitating patient-centered discussions regarding bowel, bladder, and sexual health will be integrated throughout the course to support comprehensive SCI rehabilitation practice.

Rehabilitation Strategies for Ataxia: Neuroplasticity in Action
Presented by Emily Ramon, PT, DPT, NCS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5398Level: Advanced2 Hours
Cerebellar ataxia presents unique challenges for physical therapists due to impaired coordination, balance, and motor control. This course provides an overview of the underlying mechanisms and common conditions associated with cerebellar ataxia, followed by practical guidance on clinical assessment, prognosis, and evidence-based intervention. Through case examples, participants will learn how to apply assessment tools and design effective treatment strategies to improve functional mobility and participation

Cardiopulmonary Considerations in High-Level Spinal Cord Injuries
Presented by Lauren Young, PT, DPT, NCS, CSRS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5395Level: Advanced2 Hours
This course overviews cardiorespiratory dysfunction following a cervical or upper thoracic spinal cord injury. Given that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in individuals with SCI, this course explores the impacts of autonomic dysfunction, respiratory and skeletal muscle weakness, and physiologic adaptations on cardiopulmonary health. Participants will review relevant cardiopulmonary physiology, injury-specific pathophysiology, and advanced physical therapy evaluation and treatment strategies to optimize cardiovascular and respiratory function in this population.

Dystonia Masterclass: Advanced Clinical Reasoning and Treatment
Presented by Lincoln Beal, PT, DPT, NCS
Live WebinarWed, Sep 16, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #5453Level: Advanced2 Hours
Building on Course 1 (#5328), this course offers application of assessment and treatment strategies based on the pathophysiology of dystonia, and evidence-based concepts. Participants will explore in-depth clinical reasoning and treatment through real patient cases of multiple types of dystonia.

Managing Traumatic Brain Injury Through the Rancho Los Amigos Levels of Cognitive Function
Presented by Christina Voigtmann, PT, DPT, NCS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5394Level: Introductory2 Hours
This course will describe the Ranchos Los Amigos levels of cognitive function and how these may impact therapy interventions in each stage. Clinical strategies to help manage behaviors will be delineated along with progressions of therapeutic intervention to support function as individuals progress through the various stages of recovery from brain injury.

Reflecting on Dosage in Clinical Practice: Is It Them or Is It Me?
Presented by Christina Voigtmann, PT, DPT, NCS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5392Level: Advanced2 Hours
Physical therapists continually aim to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care to optimize patient outcomes. A key component of this process is determining and applying the appropriate therapeutic dose using the FITT principle— Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type. While many patients show functional improvement, some present challenges where progress is limited or clinically insignificant. This course provides practical strategies for identifying and integrating the best available evidence into clinical decision-making. Participants will learn how to critically evaluate the dosing parameters used in research studies and translate this knowledge into effective, individualized treatment plans that help the clinician reflect on their care delivery and ultimately maximize functional outcomes.
