This course will provide an overview of neurobehavioral disorders and their impact on function and community re-entry. The course will provide functional strategies to improve the effectiveness of treatment sessions when working with individuals who have behavioral deficits. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT and PTA.

Not trash….Treasures!!!!! This course is a treasure-trove of ways to combine movement and learning with recycles into a variety of settings including schools, daycares, clinics, and the home environment.

This course will provide an overview of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the resulting cognitive impairments. The course will also provide functional strategies to improve the efficacy of treatment sessions when working with the TBI population. This course is appropriate for rehabilitation professionals who may examine and/or treat patients with a TBI. This course is directly related to the practice of PT and is therefore appropriate for the PT and PTA.

This course will discuss the swimming strokes and their effect on the swimmer’s shoulder as well as common physical limitations related to a swimmer’s shoulder. Evaluation and treatment with an emphasis on the scapula will be presented. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT and PTA.

This course will introduce participants to diagnostic classification systems, prognostic indicators, examination and evaluation, outcome measures, treatment interventions, and pharmacologic interventions for patients who are experiencing disorders of consciousness after TBI. This course is relevant to clinicians treating the DOC patient population across the continuum of care – from acute care to outpatient rehabilitation. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and therefore appropriate for the PT and PTA.

This course will provide an entry-level discussion of the clinical application of electric muscle stimulation while interpreting current concepts in the literature. The instructor will discuss electric stimulation parameters based on tissue pathology and treatment goal.

The subject matter of this course will include (1) a review of elbow injuries and assessments, (2) differential diagnosis of the elbow injury, (3) interventions for elbow injuries that are evidence-based, and (4) case studies designed to assist clinicians in matching interventions to the clinical examination. 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 provide an entry-level review of the clinical application of therapeutic ultrasound. The instructor will use the available literature to support appropriate ultrasound parameters based on tissue pathology, type and location. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and therefore appropriate for the PT, PTA and AT.

The current opioid epidemic in the United States has renewed focus on the importance of non-pharmacologic approaches to management of chronic pain. Physical therapists in home health find the treatment of elderly with chronic pain challenging because of the atypical presentation of pain due to comorbidities and other factors unique to the practice setting.

Based on the latest muscle physiology research, discover how to develop strength and conditioning programs to account for interference theory along with recently discovered muscle clocks and the role that they play in muscle performance and rehabilitation outcomes. Packed with real-world clinical applications and sample routines, this course is designed with the working professional and immediate field application in mind.
