Reflecting on Dosage in Clinical Practice: Is It Them or Is It Me?
Presented by Christina Voigtmann, PT, DPT, NCS
Live WebinarWed, Feb 4, 2026 at 6:00 pm EST
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.

Health Literacy in Practice: Effective Communication and Education
Presented by Kathleen D. Weissberg, OTD, OTR/L, CMDCP, CDP, CFPS, CGCS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5378Level: Introductory1 Hour
Health Literacy is the ability to read, compute, understand and act on health information to make informed decisions. Low health literacy is a serious threat to the well-being of persons seeking medical care. With the increasing diversity of clients, we may observe that our communication skills are less effective with people from backgrounds different from our own. In this course, an overview of health literacy is provided. The session will review techniques for clear and effective communication, verbal and written communication with those from other cultures, writing and selecting easy-to-read health materials, and assessment tools to use to ensure that clients understand the therapy services provided and have the skills needed to access, understand, and use health information.

The Salzman Matrix: Combining Cognitive & Motor Tasks with Purpose
Presented by Andrea Salzman, MS, PT
Live WebinarFri, Feb 27, 2026 at 12:00 pm EST
Course: #5381Level: Introductory2 Hours
Cognition and movement are tightly linked in functional activity, yet integrating them in rehabilitation can be challenging. While dual-task training is commonly used, poorly matched cognitive demands can interfere with motor performance and learning. This introductory course introduces the Salzman Matrix, an evidence-aligned clinical reasoning framework designed to guide purposeful cognitive–motor integration while minimizing interference. Participants will learn how to distinguish cognitive processes that support movement from cognitive demands that commonly compete with motor goals, and how to apply this framework to functional treatment planning and documentation across rehabilitation settings.
