CEU Courses for PTs

A 2-hour intermediate continuing education course for clinicians interested in strengthening their knowledge and skills in the screening examination of the integumentary system. Clinical decision-making concepts and integumentary conditions will be reinforced and applied in a primary care approach to physical therapist examination that can be seamlessly integrated into inpatient, outpatient, and wellness-based physical therapist practices. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This course reviews the world of dynamic splint fabrication and application via an examination of the methods associated with fabricating and/or implementing dynamic elbow splints to manage a client’s elbow and forearm-based range of motion, support, and joint protection needs. Custom and pre-fabricated designs are discussed and compared.

Please note: This course is also offered in a series of recordings titled "Dynamic Splinting Series: Splinting for Elbow and Wrist Function" course 4057, which is offered for 4 CEUs.

This course offers a closer look at the world of dynamic splint fabrication and application via an examination of the methods associated with fabricating and/or implementing dynamic wrist splints to manage a client’s wrist-based range of motion, support, and joint protection needs.

Since America is growing more diverse, cultural awareness has become more vital for day-to-day success. This three-part series provides information on diversity for the rehabilitation professional. In the first segment, discover strategies that will help you develop a mindset to facilitate a culturally-sensitive environment. The second segment explores how our implicit biases affect how we perceive, evaluate, and react to others. The third segment identifies systems of privilege and how they have created a wide division of inequality. This segment will help rehab professionals identify their privilege and determine how to make a difference in their places of employment. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training is therefore appropriate for the PT, PTA, and AT.

A systematic approach to wound care staff training can result in a positive outcome for therapists, staff, their clinic, and most importantly, their clients. Using multiple examples, this course examines key elements (role of multidisciplinary team, documentation and reimbursement, prevention, wound assessment, and wound treatment) of effective education and introduces strategies for making wound care learning engaging and fun to support delivered wound care services. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Following a brief anatomical review of hand structures in order to ensure understanding of the theory, purpose, and methods behind many dynamic splint designs, Dr. Davin offers a comparison of the qualities of static splinting as compared to dynamic splinting. An overview of various dynamic splinting options is introduced and serves to build foundational knowledge as it relates to dynamic splinting in preparation for upcoming courses within this series.

The focus of this webinar is on three classes of high-alert medications that have the potential for patient harm if used incorrectly. The indications, mechanism of action, side effects, and implications for physical therapy for each medication class is discussed. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This course provides attendees with an understanding of how movement patterns contribute to osteoarthritis progression and how biomechanics impacts short- and long-term outcomes after joint arthroplasty. Clinical tools to objectively measure biomechanics, as well as interventions to restore normal movement patterns for individuals with knee osteoarthritis will be discussed. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Learn suggested exercises and proper running biomechanics designed to increase hip muscle strength and reduce the risks of pain and injury due to running. Knee and ankle health will also be addressed in this course. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.

This course will review the extensor tendon anatomy and the various contribution of extrinsic and intrinsic muscles to the extensor tendon mechanism. A brief overview and rationale for the utilization of immobilization, early passive motion, or early active motion protocols for each of the extensor tendon zones will be described. **Please have a tight-fitting glove and 4 markers for the demonstration portion of the talk. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA
