Vestibular Rehabilitation - A Comprehensive Clinical Approach for Positive Functional OutcomesFebruary 22, 2020 - February 23, 2020 presented at Texas Children's Hospital Houston, TX
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. |
Invisible Trauma - Recovery from Complex ConcussionsMarch 14, 2020 - March 15, 2020 presented at Texas Children's Hospital Houston, TX
Thirty percent of those with mild traumatic brain injury have a prolonged recovery. Co-morbidities also complicate the rehabilitation process and make efficient intervention challenging. This two-day advanced evidence-based course is designed for physical therapists who have a basic knowledge of mild TBI and vestibular rehab and would like to improve their skills. |
Balance Dysfunction and Intervention - An Advanced Evidence Based CourseMarch 21, 2020 - March 22, 2020 presented at UW Medical Center Northwest Campus Seattle, WA
Determining the cause of a patient’s imbalance is just as important, or in some cases more important, than providing treatment for imbalance. This advanced course helps the medical professional determine the cause of imbalance, employ appropriate outcome measures, and implement the appropriate treatment. All examination and intervention strategies discussed are evidence-based and relevant to the patient with balance dysfunction. Vestibular, neurological, and orthopedic causes of imbalance will be discussed, including pathologies such as stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, cerebellar dysfunction, total joint arthroplasties, lumbar spine dysfunction, and vestibular dysfunction. |
Sports Concussions An Evidence Based Course Designed to Maximize ResultsMarch 21, 2020 - March 22, 2020 presented at San Ramon Regional Medical Center San Ramon, CA
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. |
