 Drew Morcos, PT, DPT, OCS, SCS, ATC, CSCS, FAAOMPT

 Michael Wong, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT

Session Type: Educational Sessions

Session Level: Intermediate

Description:

In this session, the presenters will describe expert clinical reasoning skills used in professional and collegiate sports rehabilitation to bridge the gap between orthopedic rehabilitation and competition-level performance. With the use of precise movement analysis and manual techniques, orthopedic physical therapy clinicians will augment their orthopedic rehabilitation-to-performance toolbox. Current best evidence suggests that poor motor control or aberrant motions in the upper quarter (including thoracic spine, glenohumeral, and scapulothoracic joints) have critical implications for movement analysis and movement coordination retraining. A systematic and evidence-based examination, beginning with movement analysis, will be explored. The speakers will discuss key evidence-based impairments and their matching interventions. Attendees will learn about the use of high-definition video and apps for movement analysis via case examples from various sports including volleyball, swimming, and other overhead sports. By using an integrated, manual, movement and sports therapy examination approach, the presenters will demonstrate how specific interventions are targeted to the cause and source of extremity problems, thereby achieving competition-level outcomes.

Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

  1. Value movement analysis to appraise movement aberrations in athletes with spinal dysfunction, including the use of widely available mobile applications.

  1. Judge when, how, and why merging orthopedic, manual, and movement science skill sets are essential in managing upper extremity dysfunction in the orthopedic patient.

  1. Evaluate clinical reasoning models to prioritize interventions based on the paradigm used in professional, collegiate, and high school sports rehabilitation.

  1. Assess and compare how activity limitation and impairment-focused orthopedic rehabilitation can optimize orthopedic clinical practice in managing the injured upper extremity athlete.

Beyond FITT-ness: Changing How We Teach Therapeutic Exercise in a DPT Curriculum

Section: Education Section

Session Code: ED-3B-4277

Date: Saturday, February 24, 2018

Time: 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Location: New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center

Room: 211

Speaker(s):  Megan Brown, DPT

 Skye Donovan, PT, Ph.D., OCS

Session Type: Educational Sessions

Session Level: Basic

Description:

In 2015 the American College of Sports Medicine recommended that physical activity be considered a vital sign that should be assessed at every visit with a healthcare professional; a call to action perfectly suited for physical therapists. According to a study published in 2017, only 34% of patients state they have received physical activity counseling from a physician. Therapeutic exercise is among 9 interventions that CAPTE criteria require DPT programs to cover. CAPTE also mandates health promotion and wellness to be part of DPT education. Although considered a cornerstone of our profession, therapeutic exercise and fitness assessment often are cited by students and graduates as weaknesses of the curriculum. Upon curriculum review at their university, the presenters of this session noted that new graduates cited decreased confidence in tailoring exercise to special populations and patients of varying ability levels. This led to a significant change in the therapeutic exercise course. This session will engage educators both in the clinic and in the classroom and will include strategies for implementing relevant activities to enhance therapeutic exercise instruction.

Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

  1. Describe the principles of exercise physiology in physical therapy education and practice.

  1. Defend the importance of exercise in the prevention of disease and promotion of wellness across the lifespan.

  1. Evaluate a new approach to exercise prescription instruction in a DPT curriculum that focuses on providing patient-centered exercise prescription and progression using cases, laboratory, and hands-on participation and in-context instruction.

  1. Implement curricular changes regarding physical activity and exercise prescription.

 Chad Cook, PhD, PT, MBA

 Steven George, PT, PhD, FAPTA

 Daniel Rhon, PT, DSc

Session Type: Educational Sessions

Session Level: Intermediate

Description:

Opioid therapy is a controversial and frequently prescribed pharmacological treatment approach for chronic pain, despite the fact that opioid management strategies for chronic musculoskeletal pain are poorly defined, have yielded poor outcomes, and may be responsible for increased costs and complications.

  1. Actively discuss the neurophysiological mechanisms (both beneficial and prohibitive) associated with short-term and long-term opioid use.

  1. Synthesize the health-related risks, behaviors, and downstream costs associated with licit opioid use by individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain.

  1. Compare and contrast the underlying mechanisms (eg, physician prescriptions, patient pain tolerance, patient expectations) for licit opioid prescription patterns in the United States.

 Blaise Williams

 Richard Willy, PT, Ph.D., OCS

Session Type: Educational Sessions

Session Level: Intermediate

Description:

Gait analysis technology is evolving rapidly. However, the market is driving the buzz around these devices, leaving clinicians in the void with respect to efficacy and use of these devices. There is a big disconnect between technology’s ability to accurately obtain information and how a clinician can use this information to improve the care of the runner. On one end we have patients bringing in running data from their consumer devices, and on the other clinicians are scrambling to identify what type of equipment may improve their practice.

  1. Identify the types of running technology available and the significance of the data provided.

  1. Describe key running mechanics parameters that influence mechanical loading and the type of data they correlate with.

  1. Develop techniques to modify running mechanics to reduce tissue loading.

Session Type: Educational Sessions

Session Level: Advanced

Description:

Secondary detrimental physical health effects after amputation range from atrophy and reduced strength in the residual limb to elevated cardiovascular risk factors. Young service members with osteoarthritis are at increased risk of cardiovascular comorbidities, including hypertension. Many factors have been proposed to explain the ensuing secondary health effects in these populations, including an increased sedentary lifestyle, physical barriers to activity, socioeconomic and psychosomatic conditions, altered fluid flow dynamics, and reduced insulin sensitivity.

  1. Examine the effects of BFR exercise on cardiovascular function and autonomic nervous system activity and its potential to significantly lower SBP and DBP and improved autonomic nervous system activity.

  1. Analyze the role exercise load and intensity have in the cardiovascular system and hemodynamics, especially in compromised individuals such as amputees, limb salvage, and aging veterans.

  1. Discuss the ability to personalize vascular occlusion through blood flow restriction exercises to induce a positive vascular and cardiac response.

 Emma Stokes, MSc (Mgmt), PhD, MISCP

Session Type: Educational Sessions

Session Level: Intermediate

Description:

In 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) published the first ever World Report on Disability (WRD). The WRD estimated that 15% of the global population, or close to 1 billion people, live with a disability. Nearly 80% of people with disabilities live in middle- or low-income countries where access to social, health and rehabilitation infrastructure is often inadequate. At the same time, the extent to which rehabilitation professionals and global health practitioners have become involved in bridging the gap between supply and demand related to disability has grown extensively over the past 20 years, often with varying outcomes. The speakers will address the pressing problems of increasing global prevalence of disability and ways to effectively bridge the supply and demand gap for rehabilitation services.

Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

  1. Identify and explain the evolving relationships between global health, disability, and rehabilitation.

  1. Generate opinions related to the external and internal factors that are driving the prevalence of global functional limitations and disability.

  1. Illustrate with examples the extent to which sustainable rehabilitation strategies (including, but not limited to, community-based rehabilitation) can mediate the effects of disability.

  1. Apply the concepts that emerged from Rehab 2030 in their own sphere of local, regional, national, and global context.
