Neuroplasticity in Vestibular Impairment: The Foundation and Facilitatory Techniques for Optimizing Healing
Presented by Janene Holmberg, PT, DPT, NCS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #3066Level: Introductory2.5 Hours
Dizziness and instability are a common cause of disability with vestibular dysfunction often being involved and more importantly being found responsive to therapeutic intervention. This webinar will discuss the theoretical framework quantifying the robust inherent potential for healing and its clinical implications for lessening disability. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT and PTA.

Health Literacy: Effective Client Communication and Education
Presented by Kathleen D. Weissberg, OTD, OTR/L, CMDCP, CDP, OTR/L
Recorded WebinarAudioText/Transcript
Course: #3177Level: Intermediate1 Hour
This session will review techniques for clear and effective communication, verbal and written communication with those from other cultures, writing and selecting easy-to-read health materials, and assessment tools to use to ensure that clients understand the therapy services provided and have the skills needed to access, understand, and use health information.

Neuroplasticity in Stroke Across the Spectrum
Presented by Kelsi Smith, PT, DPT, NCS, Erin McMullen, PT, DPT, NCS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #3020Level: Introductory2 Hours
This course is geared towards clinicians who wish to enhance their knowledge of stroke rehabilitation using the latest evidence based research. We will review the stages of stroke rehabilitation, with an underlying focus of neuroplasticity and its effect on our evaluation, treatment, goal-setting, and overall expectations for recovery.

Applying Cutting-edge Neuroplasticity Research for Functional Restoration after Spinal Cord Injury
Presented by Edelle Field-Fote, PT, PhD, FAPTA
Recorded Webinar
Course: #2982Level: Intermediate2 Hours
Spinal cord and brain mechanisms underlying the control of movement adapt in response to afferent inputs such as stimulation and vibration; this beneficial neural adaptation, or adaptive neuroplasticity, is supportive of function and may counter the maladaptive plasticity that is associated with pathology of the nervous system. Using what is known about neural responses to afferent input, treatment strategies can be structured to incorporate stimulation and vibration into training programs to improve motor function.

Neuroplasticity and Rehabilitation
Presented by Jim Lynskey, PT, PhD
Recorded Webinar
Course: #3028Level: Intermediate2 Hours
This course will cover the mechanisms and principles of activity dependent neuroplasticity and motor learning. Participants will be presented with the current understanding of neuroplasticity, the factors that modulate it, and evidence-based applications to rehabilitation. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT and PTA.

Achilles Tendon Ruptures: Examination and Management
Presented by Stephanie Albin, PT, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT
Recorded Webinar
Course: #3013Level: Introductory1 Hour
This course will discuss both examination and management strategies for patients sustaining Achilles tendon ruptures. The course will also provide long-term clinical outcomes for patients after sustaining these tendon ruptures. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT, PTA and AT.

Positioning the Head
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR, ABDA, ATP/SMS
Recorded WebinarText/Transcript
Course: #3098Level: Intermediate2 Hours
This course will discuss various strategies to optimize head position. First, we will explore strategies beyond the head support, including specific positioning interventions and addressing visual issues. Second, we will explore posterior head supports in depth, matching specific features to client needs. Third, we will explore other options which may be required if posterior support alone is inadequate, including anterior head support.

Obstetric Brachial Plexus Palsy: An Overview of Examination and Intervention Principles
Presented by Lisa Kenyon, PT, DPT, PhD, PCS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #2984Level: Intermediate1 Hour
This course introduces the pathophysiology and potential functional sequelae of obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP). An evidence-based overview of examination and intervention principles is provided. This activity is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT and PTA.

Editor's Note: Regarding Pennsylvania credits, this course is approved by the PA State Board of Physical Therapy for 0.5 hours of general and 0.5 hours of Direct Access CE credit.

Glenohumeral Impingement Syndrome: Individualizing Treatment Approaches Based on Examination and Evidence
Presented by Michael T. Lebec, PT, PhD
Recorded Webinar
Course: #3011Level: Advanced2 Hours
Developing a plan of care to reduce deficits associated with Gleno-humeral Impingement Syndrome is not a one-size fits all effort. This course will provide clinicians with a systematic approach to designing a treatment plan which is tailored to the patient’s individual needs and problems. This method begins with performing the tests and measures most supported by evidence and using findings to select effective manual and exercise interventions. This information will be presented from the perspective of multiple case studies as well as a survey of recent literature. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT, PTA and AT.

Rehabilitating the Injured Golfer
Presented by Maurie Steinley, PT, DSc, SCS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #2975Level: Introductory2 Hours
This course will review golf injuries, common injury inducing swing mechanics, and physical limitations associated with swing faults. This course will also provide golf specific rehabilitation concepts and exercises including why they will benefit the golfer. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT, PTA and AT.
