Course: #5292Level: Advanced 2 Hours 1184 Reviews
This course's purpose is to facilitate clinical reasoning and decision-making skills in PTAs for progressing exercises at the body structure, function, and activity levels within the plan of care. The emphasis will address interventions for aerobic activity, strengthening, flexibility, balance, sit-to-stand, and gait that are within the scope of practice for physical therapist assistants.
Although this webinar is geared for a PTA audience, physical therapists will also gain knowledge and be able to take information back to their PTAs for further discussion on interventions and plans of care.
