CEU Courses for PTs

This course will present common trunk asymmetries seen in wheelchair seating with suggested strategies to address each challenge. Providing as neutral a trunk position as possible improves overall posture, stability, and function. This course will then systematically address potential upper and lower extremity positioning challenges with suggested interventions. By specifically positioning the extremities, the seating system provides stability, function and even protection from injury. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This course will review outcome measures commonly used in everyday clinical practice for clients with spinal cord injury and their importance in functional goals. Outcome measures discussed will include the ASIA Impairment Scale, 10 Meter Walk Test, 6 Minute Walk Test, Timed Up and Go, Walking Index for Spinal Cord Injury II, and Berg Balance Scale. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

A vast array of drugs are used to treat patients with cancer. This webinar will introduce the attendee to the basic pharmacology of these drugs, the mechanism of action of different classes of these drugs, and frequently observed adverse effects of these drugs. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This advanced-level course will discuss various examination techniques, differential diagnosis, and treatments associated with peripheral and central vestibular conditions. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This course aims to elevate your writing skills and improve the ability to communicate in academic, professional and research environments. Learners will examine tricky writing conventions, citations, writing organization, and professional voice, along with the chart writing habits we need to un-learn to communicate outside of our profession! This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This course provides an overview of the functional issues and concerns experienced by children with unilateral (hemiplegic) cerebral palsy as well as evidence-based interventions to address these issues, including the use of handling and facilitation techniques, environmental adaptation, and motor control interventions. Outcome measures for use with children who have unilateral cerebral palsy will also be presented and discussed. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Hemophilia is a medical diagnosis seen few and far between on caseload, however one that has nuances that the clinician needs to be aware of prior to initiating services. This introductory course will cover what hemophilia is, its impact on the adult patient across the different continuum of care, and the critical education you need to pass onto your clients. 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 functional expectations for common transfer techniques transfers based on the level of spinal cord injury. We will review the sit pivot technique and current research applied to transfer mechanics and upper extremity preservation. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This course provides an overview of gait issues and concerns in children with cerebral palsy as well as evidence-based pre-gait and gait interventions to address these issues, including use of handling and facilitation techniques, environmental adaptation, and motor control interventions. Outcome measures designed to assess gait in children who have CP will also be presented and discussed. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Our implicit biases affect how we perceive, evaluate, and react to others. Discover strategies that will help you reduce their influence to better meet the needs of those you serve in hearing healthcare. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.
