CEU Courses for PTs

Power wheelchairs are designed to provide independent and functional mobility for people unable to efficiently self-propel any type of manual wheelchair. This course will introduce power-operated vehicles (scooters) and power wheelchairs, including features such as drive wheel configuration, power seating, and alternative driving methods.

This course will review current literature, definitions, and guidelines on various assistive device use for the older adult within physical therapy programming. We will review various assistive devices available and their benefits and proper use with a primary focus on ambulation aids. We will discuss training techniques, drawbacks, considerations, and safety methods when integrating these devices for use in the older adult. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Women with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) have a high rate of pelvic floor disorders, and EDS and HSD are highly prevalent in women with pelvic health impairments. This course provides physical therapists with an evidence-based update on EDS, HSDs, and pelvic health and will explore clinical reasoning in pelvic physical therapy treatment for this diverse patient population. 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 unique considerations for seating and positioning in the home. Best practices and ethical dilemmas will be discussed with case examples. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Master skills to implement in your practice immediately with continued Master Class. Early development for the precrawling infant is greatly influenced by a variety of factors. Early intervention and identification of abnormal behaviors can be crucial within these progressive stages. This interdisciplinary course expands upon the theory of whole-body treatment, reflex identification, and therapeutic handling to effectively assist the infant’s early initiation of mobility and fine motor control. Through practical and clinical observations, the learner develops a deeper understanding of the importance of early intervention for the precrawling infant. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This course discusses current gait training evidence for clients with motor incomplete and motor complete spinal cord injury. High-intensity gait training, intervention selection for clients with motor complete and incomplete SCI, and assessing the effectiveness of interventions through the use of outcome measures are included. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Evidence-informed patient-centered care requires that home health physical therapists set achievable goals by avoiding the underdosing of exercise intensity for older adults. Patient-specific approaches to exercise prescriptions are cost-effective in reducing re-hospitalizations and promoting an early return to functional activities. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This 2 contact-hour introductory course is designed for Physical Therapists interested in obtaining primary knowledge and fundamental concepts in PT practice for the non-human animal. It serves as a starting point to gain information about this rapidly growing field which is vital in the provision of evaluation and treatment of disability, injury, and medical conditions in many species of animals. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This presentation introduces the condition termed Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) and explains its pathophysiology. It discusses subclinical disordered eating behaviors among athletes, and how those behaviors lead to the development of RED-S. Participants will learn how to prevent, identify, and treat athletes with RED-S. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.

The purpose of this presentation is to offer physical therapists and patients a guide to confidently engage in treatment protocols specific to post mastectomy and/or axillary node dissection. This educational guide covers range of motion exercises; self-care/ADL’s; energy conservation and cancer-related fatigue; outcomes measures to include in evaluation; as well as warning signs to prevent infection, lymphedema, and contractures. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.
