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

The Squat: Best Practices for Maximum Results
Presented by Amy Ashmore, PhD
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5391Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Learn the latest on how to execute and program squat workouts for maximum benefit. Explore different squat variations and programming methods for different populations and goals. This course includes sample routines and progression strategies.

Biophysical Agents for Pain Management: Current Evidence and Application
Presented by Michael Tautonico, PT, DPT, NCS, Christopher Voltmer, PT, DPT, PhD, NCS
Live WebinarFri, May 29, 2026 at 10:00 am EDT
Course: #5452Level: Advanced2 Hours
Biophysical Agents for Pain Management: Current Evidence and Application analyzes the current literature and contemporary approaches to the use of biophysical agents for pain management. High-level evidence will be synthesized and presented to update and guide clinicians on the biophysical agents best supported by research. This course will discuss both established and novel biophysical agents with evidence-based application.

Ethics and Jurisprudence for the Physical Therapy Professional Licensed in Illinois
Presented by Calista Kelly, PT, DPT, ACEEAA, Cert. MDT
Text/Transcript
Course: #5006Level: Intermediate3 Hours
This comprehensive continuing education course equips Illinois licensed physical therapists and physical therapist assistants with a thorough understanding of both the ethical foundations governing professional practice and the Illinois-specific laws, regulations, and statutory requirements that define the legal boundaries of that practice. Drawing on the landmark 2026 APTA Code of Ethics for the Physical Therapy Profession, current Illinois Practice Act provisions, and emerging issues including artificial intelligence, social media, and moral distress, this course provides the knowledge and analytical frameworks necessary to practice with integrity, accountability, and confidence.

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.

Clinical Applications of Durable Medical Equipment for Activities of Daily Living
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS
Live WebinarWed, Jun 3, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
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.

The Role of PT in Treating the Cardiac Patient in the Home
Presented by Kala Markel, PT, DPT
Live WebinarWed, Jun 10, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #5454Level: Intermediate2 Hours
This 2‑hour webinar is designed to equip home health PTs and PTAs with practical skills to manage adults recovering from CABG, valve surgery, MI/stent, and heart failure in the home setting. Participants will review typical post‑hospital recovery trajectories, learn to perform focused cardiac assessments (including vitals, orthostatics, and symptom monitoring), and apply clear red‑flag criteria to guide safe “go/no‑go” decisions in non‑monitored environments. The course emphasizes designing and progressing symptom‑limited exercise and functional mobility programs using tools such as RPE, talk test, and functional outcome measures, while integrating patient and caregiver education on daily self‑monitoring, pacing, and lifestyle strategies to support cardiac stability and reduce readmissions.

The Therapy Role In Trauma-Responsive Pediatric Practice
Presented by Audrie Vantangoli, MOT, OTD, OTR/L
Live WebinarThu, Jun 11, 2026 at 6:00 pm EDT
Course: #5498Level: Introductory1 Hour
Therapists are at the forefront of trauma and self-regulation; however, therapists are not always the first line of defense when developing plans related to behavioral interventions within the pediatric setting. Trauma can significantly affect a child's development and skill mastery. In order to promote participation in meaningful activities, therapists must focus on building consistent trauma-informed practices to rebuild a sense of perceived safety. This course discusses the essential needs for incorporating trauma-informed care when working with the pediatric population.

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.

The Salzman Matrix: Combining Cognitive & Motor Tasks with Purpose
Presented by Andrea Salzman, MS, PT
Recorded Webinar
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.
