Sports Concussions An Evidence Based Course Designed to Maximize ResultsOctober 5, 2019 - October 6, 2019 presented at University of Jamestown School of Physical Therapy Fargo, ND
A Concussion is a mild injury to the brain and can have significant consequences if not properly treated. This sports concussion course will outline a evidence based treatment “trajectory” for therapists, detailing a step by step process for the management of patients with sports concussions. These trajectories include; cervical, ocular, vestibular, post-traumatic migraine, cognitive/fatigue and anxiety/mood and when identified early can facilitate active rehabilitation and return to sport. This course will review history of treatment of concussions with most current “best” practices as well as pathophysiology and recent advances in diagnosis and management. |
Vestibular Rehabilitation - A Comprehensive Clinical Approach for Positive Functional OutcomesOctober 12, 2019 - October 13, 2019 presented at John Heinz Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine Wilkes-Barre, PA
The information presented in this course, while vestibular in nature, is combined with a comprehensive, interactive laboratory component. Its focus is on the class participants' "Monday Morning" issues. The structure and function of the vestibular system are thoroughly discussed along with testing, diagnostics and intervention strategies to address a large scope of symptoms and diagnoses. When therapists return to their jobs on Monday morning, they will likely encounter patients with problems related to upright instability. Although these patients may not be diagnosed with vestibular disorders, they are indeed equipped with vestibular systems. Without basic knowledge of vestibular structure and function, therapists will likely miss a crucial element of the initial evaluation--one that could very well lead to more successful intervention outcomes. |

Critical Analysis and Treatment Strategies for the Complex Shoulder
If you can’t conclusively determine the structural pathology, how can you be confident in what you’re treating? A different approach for patients is to look at their history, their objectives, and the exam findings, and use these to try and categorize them or classify them according to what initial treatment approach makes the most sense. This approach, known as the classification system, has been clinically proven to produce clinical outcomes that are better than they would be if we were to try to chase the pathologic anatomy.
