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.

Alternative Driving Methods for Power Wheelchair Mobility
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5278Level: Advanced2 Hours
While some clients require a power wheelchair for independent mobility, not all can use a standard joystick. Clients with paralysis, muscle weakness, increased muscle tone, and uncontrolled movements can often drive a power wheelchair successfully when matched to the most appropriate alternative driving method. This course will systematically explore power wheelchair proportional and non-proportional alternative driving methods, including specific features, to match these complex client needs. Case studies will be used throughout.

New Insights in Flexibility Training: What Healthcare Professionals Should Know!
Presented by Scott Cheatham, PhD, DPT, OCS, ATC, CSCS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5334Level: Intermediate2 Hours
Over the past decade, there has been emerging research that provides new insight into flexibility training. Researchers have provided updated evidence on the efficacy of popular flexibility techniques such as self-myofascial rolling, static stretching, and dynamic stretching. This new evidence has created suggested guidelines for integrated pre-exercise warm-up, post-exercise cool-down, and dedicated flexibility training sessions. This presentation is for the professional who desires an evidence-based update on flexibility training.

Managing Traumatic Brain Injury Through the Rancho Los Amigos Levels of Cognitive Function
Presented by Christina Voigtmann, PT, DPT, NCS
Live WebinarWed, Mar 4, 2026 at 6:00 pm EST
Course: #5394Level: Introductory2 Hours
This course will describe the Ranchos Los Amigos levels of cognitive function and how these may impact physical therapy interventions in each stage. Clinical strategies to help manage behaviors will be delineated along with progressions of therapeutic intervention as individuals progress through the various stages of recovery from brain injury.

Using Adult Learning Theory to Enhance Coaching in Early Intervention
Presented by Pam Smithy, MS, OTR/L, Rhonda Mattingly Williams, Ed.D, CCC-SLP
Recorded WebinarText/Transcript
Course: #5323Level: Intermediate1 Hour
This course examines how adult learning theory can be effectively applied to coaching practices within early intervention settings. The course reviews strategies to support family engagement, promote responsive practice, and enhance caregiver efficacy through evidence-based adult education principles.

From Caution to Confidence: Reframing Exercise in Multiple Sclerosis
Presented by Christina Voigtmann, PT, DPT, NCS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5342Level: Intermediate2 Hours
This educational session will review the history and myths of exercise in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and compare this knowledge with current evidence demonstrating exercise benefits, safety, and the potential neuroprotective effects of higher intensity exercise for people with MS. Clinicians can take actionable strategies from this session to the clinic.

Physical Therapy Management of the Individual with Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
Presented by Kristen Cezat, PT, DPT, NCS, ATP/SMS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5340Level: Advanced2 Hours
This advanced-level course for physical therapists provides an in-depth exploration of the assessment, prognosis, and intervention strategies for individuals with sensory and motor incomplete spinal cord injuries, with emphasis on the American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale and evidence-based prognostic indicators for walking recovery. Through integration of high-intensity gait training principles, functional outcome measurement, and motor-focused interventions, participants will gain the expertise needed to design and implement effective, individualized rehabilitation programs that maximize walking and functional outcomes in this population.

Cardiopulmonary Considerations in High-Level Spinal Cord Injuries
Presented by Lauren Young, PT, DPT, NCS, CSRS
Live WebinarFri, Mar 13, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
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.

Enhancing Occupational Performance Through Motor Learning
Presented by Nicole Quint, PhD, Dr. OT, OTR/L
Recorded WebinarText/Transcript
Course: #5260Level: Intermediate2 Hours
Motor learning principles through the lens of therapy, emphasizing their application in diverse contexts, will be explored in this course. Participants will compare and contrast motor learning approaches with occupational analysis, examine the role of fundamental movements in developing integrative functional motor skills, and evaluate strategies to generalize motor skills within therapeutic settings. Special focus is placed on tailoring interventions for clients with ADHD and ASD, ensuring practical, evidence-based solutions for enhancing occupational engagement.
