About the Course:
The cardiopulmonary comorbidities that are present in the geriatric population greatly impact how health care professionals should treat these patients, including assessment, interventions, and recommendations. In order to have an in-depth understanding of geriatric cardiopulmonary pathologies, the health care professional must also have an understanding of the cardiopulmonary anatomy, the normal aging process, and how to differentiate normal aging from pathology. This course reviews all of these areas and discusses the most common cardiopulmonary pathologies seen in the geriatric population. The proper techniques to monitor vital signs, the use of functional assessments and treatment interventions are all explored. In addition, cardiopulmonary medications are reviewed so that the rehab professional can gain an understanding of the specific classes of drugs used for the pathologies discussed, their side effects and potential impact on rehab.

Prematurity is a serious public health concern currently affecting 1 in 9 infants in the United States. Therapists serve a crucial role in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) interventions to assist parents in handling techniques, calming strategies, general developmental care and offer parent education, with a ubiquitous goal of promoting the best possible outcome. Given their strong educational foundation in neuro development and neonatal care, therapists are uniquely qualified to assume this role, but often may feel ill-equipped about venturing into such a high-risk setting. This 2-hour course is designed to ameliorate those concerns by offering a very thorough perspective of how to address all the multifaceted confounding factors in the NICU setting, from pain management to positioning. Therapists will gain a deeper understanding of the medical complexities and neurodevelopment care, as well as learn the interplay between nurture, nature, and the premature sensory system.

The cardiopulmonary comorbidities that are present in the geriatric population greatly impact how health care professionals should treat these patients, including assessment, interventions, and recommendations. In order to have an in-depth understanding of geriatric cardiopulmonary pathologies, the health care professional must also have an understanding of the cardiopulmonary anatomy, the normal aging process, and how to differentiate normal aging from pathology. This course reviews all of these areas and discusses the most common cardiopulmonary pathologies seen in the geriatric population. The proper techniques to monitor vital signs, the use of functional assessments and treatment interventions are all explored. In addition, cardiopulmonary medications are reviewed so that the rehab professional can gain an understanding of the specific classes of drugs used for the pathologies discussed, their side effects and potential impact on rehab.

About the Course
When it comes to studying sports nutrition – and more specifically, delving into a strategic diet plan for athletes – information can be widespread and often overwhelming! At times, it can seem as though athletes are bombarded by self-proclaimed “nutrition experts”. To make matters worse, manufacturers of supplements, bars, shakes, and drinks often tout their product(s) as the latest and greatest scientific breakthrough. Due to these wide-ranging opinions, it can be difficult for the athlete to ascertain which diet plan is most beneficial for overall health and exercise performance. To clear the confusion, the healthcare professional should be able to understand how to critically evaluate medical literature and recommend evidence based, scientifically sound advice to athletes regarding nutrition and supplementation before, during and after training. Body composition is one of the most important aspects of fitness as the amount of body fat and muscle mass significantly impacts performance and training success, influencing the athletes’ speed, endurance, intensity and power. Thus, the focus of this course is to help the healthcare professional gain a deeper understanding of the clinically relevant research related to sports nutrition and its impact on athletic body composition. This course guides the professional through the process of critically appraising evidence to advocate the best diet plan for athletes, which consists of a healthy ratio of macronutrients that promote muscle growth and recovery, nutrition periodization to peak performance levels, and supplementation to improve overall health.

This course focuses on a part of massage therapy that is frequently left out – the table stretches that are an integral part of rehabilitative and Swedish massage. Skilled stretching techniques re- educate muscles and restore healthy resting lengths, as well as add variety to a bodywork session. With proper body mechanics, stretching is easy on the therapist’s body and decreases strain on the hands. Stretching also adds an element of expansion into a bodywork session for both the therapist and the client. When we’re stretched we feel longer, wider, more alive. This course is a must for any therapist interested in helping their clients attain a more relaxed, injury-free state.

This course clearly explains the nature and function of nutrients within the human body. The categories of nutrients will be defined, and the vital functions of energy, structure and metabolic regulation will be revealed. We will explore each class of nutrient, examine how the structure and role of each nutrient are related. This clear and enlightening class will add meaning to ubiquitous but nebulous terms such as saturated fats, complex carbohydrates, complete proteins, and good vs bad cholesterols. In doing so, the class forms a succinct didactic on the importance of an adequate and balanced diet. Participants will gain appreciation of the health effects of unbalanced diets as well as such conditions as high cholesterol, diabetes, gall bladder issues, ulcers and acid reflux disease. They will take away insight to the effects of diet and nutrition, the underlying principles of nutrient utilization, and enhanced knowledge of how they can tailor their massage services to best fill clients’ needs.

There is so much that a person can experience after a TBI. As clinicians, we get to help restore as much function as possible through rehabilitative and compensatory techniques. TBI is a commonly seen diagnosis in hospitals, subacute, acute, outpatient centers and home health. No matter what sector of rehabilitation you currently work in, this course will help you develop a well-rounded understanding of TBI including epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical picture, procedures for evaluation and treatment, and understanding coma and levels of consciousness. We will discuss how we can not only attempt to increase function for the patient but also educate caregivers for optimal carry-over. All in all, this course will help you be a better patient advocate, which is one of the best things we can do for our patients!

About the Course
When it comes to studying sports nutrition – and more specifically, delving into a strategic diet plan for athletes – information can be widespread and often overwhelming! At times, it can seem as though athletes are bombarded by self-proclaimed “nutrition experts”. To make matters worse, manufacturers of supplements, bars, shakes, and drinks often tout their product(s) as the latest and greatest scientific breakthrough. Due to these wide-ranging opinions, it can be difficult for the athlete to ascertain which diet plan is most beneficial for overall health and exercise performance. To clear the confusion, the healthcare professional should be able to understand how to critically evaluate medical literature and recommend evidence based, scientifically sound advice to athletes regarding nutrition and supplementation before, during and after training. Body composition is one of the most important aspects of fitness as the amount of body fat and muscle mass significantly impacts performance and training success, influencing the athletes’ speed, endurance, intensity and power. Thus, the focus of this course is to help the healthcare professional gain a deeper understanding of the clinically relevant research related to sports nutrition and its impact on athletic body composition. This course guides the professional through the process of critically appraising evidence to advocate the best diet plan for athletes, which consists of a healthy ratio of macronutrients that promote muscle growth and recovery, nutrition periodization to peak performance levels, and supplementation to improve overall health.

Range of motion (ROM) limitations are associated with many of the conditions commonly seen in rehab, including stroke, multiple sclerosis, and osteoarthritis. A critical part of effective restoration of ROM is being able to identify what factors/issues are responsible for limiting ROM. These may include pain, edema, joint capsule tightness, articular surface damage, muscle shortness, and spasticity. This course focuses on the specific use of physical agent modalities to facilitate the restoration of range of motion, especially when used in conjunction with other typical rehab interventions. Several demonstration videos are presented in this course to help participants integrate new information into clinical practice.

Given the modifications and advancements in ACL surgical procedures and the proliferation of research on interventions and outcomes, many clinicians find it difficult to keep apprised of the latest evidence and integrate this new information into their clinical practice. Decisions regarding which patients are appropriate for non-operative management of an ACL-deficient knee, how to safely progress patients through a criterion-based guideline, and when to provide recommendations for a safe return back to sports after ACL injury or reconstruction are challenging. Physical therapists and physical therapist assistants will be able to use the knowledge and skills outlined in this course with their patients after ACL injury or surgery to maximize patients’ responses to exercise at their current functional level while minimizing risk of injury to the healing tissue(s).

About the Course:
Due to the anatomy and importance of the essential functions of the hips and knees, severe pain in either one or both of these areas can have a direct adverse effect on everyday life and can severely reduce quality of life. There is a biomechanical reliance on each of these joints to function optimally during activities of daily living. Approximately 22% of the general population suffers from knee pain, and knee and hip pain are even more common in older people (Damen, 2019). Disruption in either one can result in aberrant movements of the other, and they rely on coordination and common nerve and muscular performance during ambulation. This course will focus on these two joints individually and as they relate to each other, and discuss various symptoms, treatments, and effective plans of treatment for optimum patient outcome.

About the Course:
This intermediate-level course provides updated, evidence- based information for physical therapists and occupational therapists who work with individuals who have cerebral palsy. This course will be particularly helpful to clinicians who have not recently reviewed the literature related to cerebral palsy and to those who do not frequently provide physical therapy services for this population. Physical therapists who received their training before the profession’s move to doctoral-level training may also find this course helpful because of its focus on the clinical reasoning skills that are necessary when patients can directly access physical therapists without physician referral. Most physical therapists and occupational therapists in pediatric clinical settings will encounter individuals with cerebral palsy. Because pediatric and school-based clinical services typically end by the age of 21, physical therapists and occupational therapists who provide treatment in adult therapy settings also need to be competent in treating this rapidly growing segment of the adult population. Physical and occupational therapists who work with this heterogeneous population need to be aware of the many factors critical to clinical decision making. This course will address prevalence, etiology, diagnosis, classification, examination, evaluation, prognosis, interventions, and outcomes for individuals with cerebral palsy across the lifespan. Because the body of literature related to this diagnosis is extensive, this course will provide an overview of the most salient current issues that impact the clinical decisions and care provided by physical therapists and occupational therapists. Clinicians who desire a more in-depth understanding of cerebral palsy are encouraged to pursue applicable resources and references more extensively.

Physical therapists who received their training before the profession’s move to doctoral-level training may also find this course helpful because of its focus on the clinical reasoning skills that are necessary when patients can directly access physical therapists without physician referral. Most physical therapists and occupational therapists in pediatric clinical settings will encounter individuals with cerebral palsy. Because pediatric and school-based clinical services typically end by the age of 21, physical therapists and occupational therapists who provide treatment in adult therapy settings also need to be competent in treating this rapidly growing segment of the adult population. Physical and occupational therapists who work with this heterogeneous population need to be aware of the many factors critical to clinical decision making. This course will address prevalence, etiology, diagnosis, classification, examination, evaluation, prognosis, interventions, and outcomes for individuals with cerebral palsy across the lifespan. Because the body of literature related to this diagnosis is extensive, this course will provide an overview of the most salient current issues that impact the clinical decisions and care provided by physical therapists and occupational therapists. Clinicians who desire a more in-depth understanding of cerebral palsy are encouraged to pursue applicable resources and references more extensively.

This course, designed to provide the healthcare practitioner with a broad overview of the assessment and provision of wheelchair seating, is written at a basic to intermediate-level for the occupational and physical therapist who have little or no experience in this specialty practice area. Many people require the use of a wheelchair for dependent or independent mobility, and each wheelchair provides some form of seating. Wheelchair seating directly affects a client’s position, which in turn affects function for all of that person’s daily tasks. It is essential that occupational therapy practitioners be able to competently participate as members of the interprofessional team in determining the optimal seating and wheeled mobility interventions for a particular client. Common diagnoses for a client using a wheelchair include cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, and muscular dystrophies.

This intermediate-level course provides healthcare professionals in the areas of physical and occupational therapy with the knowledge they need to successfully identify those at risk for falls, assess individuals, and develop interventions targeted at reducing fall risk in older adults. Although therapists may be aware of the need to assess and treat older adults for risk for falls, they may not be fully abreast of approaches that are supported by evidence and are proven to truly reduce the incidence of falls.
