CEU Courses for PTs

Because there is no recipe, managing chronic/persistent pain in home health can be challenging and daunting. This course will dive into the realms of neuroscience and best practice for helping clinicians aid their patient’s to better self-manage their pain based on current available research. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Electronic Aids to Daily Living provide an alternative means of controlling devices, primarily within the home environment, including audiovisual equipment, lighting, and thermostats. Advances in consumer home automation technologies have opened new control opportunities for people with disabilities. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This course equips the physical therapist to identify pre-diabetes and type 1 diabetes in their patients based on history and clinical signs and symptoms. Exercise Prescription, the interaction of other medications, and modulation of a current exercise program for patients with diabetes as a co-morbidity are also included. This course also includes the management of diabetes from a Covid-19 perspective.

Managing patients who are medically complex can be challenging. However, the management of patients with those complexities becomes more challenging with regards to triaging services, determining a plan of care, and discharge recommendations, when patients have no social support or environment. This course will take you through a general guideline for addressing this patient population. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Chronic dizziness or Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD or 3PD) is common “complication to healing” from definable inner disorders that can be both very disabling for the patient and challenging for clinicians. This course will review differential diagnosis, clinical presentation, and treatment techniques to better manage these complex patients. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This course will connect the anatomy and physiology of muscle contraction with myofascia and trigger points that are responsible for the pain mechanisms. It is important to understand the effect of a dysfunctional myofascial chain. We will discuss evidence based research that will support the use of foam rolling, types of different rollers, functions, benefits, role in improving muscle length and hence improved mobility. The knowledge of trigger points in major muscle groups and techniques to foam roll will be addressed, and add another tool in your toolbox for effective rehabilitation. 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 has been meticulously crafted to equip healthcare professionals with the essential knowledge and skills required to recognize red flags and proficiently evaluate both musculoskeletal and systemic issues pertaining to the ankle-foot joint. Through comprehensive instruction, participants will gain insight into diverse evaluation methodologies and will be empowered to apply these techniques in clinical settings to identify and assess injuries within this anatomical region accurately.

Accessibility consultation is a growing specialty for medical and design/build professionals. This training program provides a common language and understanding of the specialized knowledge and skills needed to implement a team approach to service delivery. Crucial knowledge includes UD design principles, legislative compliance, design/build problems/solutions, and specialized products to promote safety, independence and quality of life for both caregivers and consumers. Using case studies and a multi-media format, practical applications and problem solving strategies using a team bulding approach will be presented to help eliminate environmental barriers using universal design principles.

This course will describe the current literature on ACL injury prevention as well as current gaps in the literature. It will also describe what clinicians can put into practice right away to reduce the risk of ACL injury in athletes. 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 provides a 2022 update on ACL rehabilitation and return to play testing. Load management principles applied to both rehabilitation and sports performance will also be discussed.
