Moving Forward with Peripheral Arterial Disease: Differential Diagnosis and Evidence-Based Exercise Prescription
Presented by Melissa Bednarek, PT, DPT, PhD, CCS
Live WebinarThu, Aug 6, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #5541Level: Introductory2 Hours
Although peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is rarely the primary diagnosis, this comorbidity can significantly limit a patient's progress in therapy. It is crucial for therapists across the healthcare continuum to understand the nuances of this condition, given that a cornerstone of its treatment is a structured walking program. This course provides essential insights into the differential diagnosis and evidence-based management of PAD.

Taping for the Lower Extremity
Presented by Alex Siyufy, PT, DPT, SCS, ATC, Cert. MDT, CPAM, Cert. DN, SFMA
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5436Level: Introductory2 Hours
This course provides practical lower-extremity taping strategies you can use right away in the clinic. You’ll learn both rigid (McConnell-style) and elastic kinesiology taping techniques to help reduce pain, improve movement, and support healing. We’ll focus on common conditions you see every week, including patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), plantar fasciitis, shin pain, and lower extremity tendon issues. You’ll also learn effective arch support taping and how taping can help guide alignment and offload irritated tissues. Designed for both new and experienced clinicians, this course builds confidence in your taping skills while helping you think through when, why, and how to use each technique for the greatest impact in rehab and performance care.

Wisconsin Ethics and Jurisprudence for the Physical Therapy Professional
Presented by Calista Kelly, PT, DPT, ACEEAA, Cert. MDT
Text/Transcript
Course: #5514Level: Intermediate4 Hours
This course provides Wisconsin physical therapists and physical therapist assistants with a comprehensive review of the laws and regulations governing PT practice in the state, including the Wisconsin Physical Therapy Practice Act, key federal laws such as HIPAA and the ADA, licensure requirements, supervision rules, and the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact. The course also examines professional ethics using the 2026 APTA Code of Ethics as its foundation, exploring the nine Ethical Commitments, foundational ethical principles and theories, and real-world case studies using the RIPS Model, including emerging issues in moral distress, social media, artificial intelligence, and the care of aging and pediatric populations.

Ethics in Physical Therapy: Translating the Code and Models into Clinical Practice
Presented by Kathleen D. Weissberg, OTD, OTR/L, CMDCP, CDP, CFPS, CGCS
Recorded WebinarText/Transcript

Move beyond the basics of the updated APTA Code of Ethics by learning to apply structured decision-making frameworks, including the RIPS model, to complex real-world scenarios. Designed for practicing PTs and PTAs, this course focuses on navigating the 'grey areas' of clinical judgment, from productivity pressures to interprofessional conflict. Participants will gain actionable strategies to translate ethical obligations into daily practice with confidence and integrity.

Navigating Polypharmacy and Multi-Morbidity: A PT's Guide to Exercise Optimization and Patient Management
Presented by Robin Schroeder, PT DPT, GCS, OCS, CSCS, CLT, A-CEEAA
Live WebinarThu, Aug 13, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #5537Level: Advanced2 Hours
Seventy-three percent of older adults have two chronic conditions, and 36% have four or more, leading to management with polypharmacy. One in 5 older adults uses 5 or more prescription medications and is taking a medication that adversely affects a co-existing condition. Polypharmacy bidirectionally impacts physical function and, therefore, physical activity. Adults who participate in aerobic and strengthening activity recommendations have a greatly reduced risk for all-cause mortality. Physical therapists who understand how the movement system interacts with multimorbidity and polypharmacy are uniquely qualified to guide complex patients through safe and effective exercise programs to improve physical function and reduce mortality. This session will use the ACSM exercise recommendation guidelines to consider each multimorbidity’s effect on the exercise prescription, balance polypharmacy considerations, and maximize patient safety and exercise dosing for meaningful results. Using exemplar cases, the learner will be challenged to recognize patterns of multimorbidity and pharmacotherapy, discuss the role of the physical therapist within the multidisciplinary team and in patient communication, and optimize patient outcomes. The Beers List of potentially inappropriate medications to be avoided in older adults will be incorporated, and a schema will be provided to integrate advanced clinical reasoning into the care of complex patients.
