FULL SPECTRUM FALLS TRAINING FOR THE OLDER ADULT



DEBORAH CONSTANTINE, PT, DPT, GCS, GTCCS, CEEAA

20 Contact Hours


Falls in the older adult population continue as a medical, social, and economic
crisis. In fact, fall rates over the past decade have been steadily increasing.
This, despite our efforts to reduce fall rates using Clinical Practice
Guidelines and directing funding toward fall prevention strategies. Patients
report they remain fearful of falling. What can we as clinical practitioners do
to mitigate this upward trend? Perhaps we can initiate full spectrum fall
training efforts.

FUNCTIONAL STANDARDS FOR OPTIMAL AGING EXPERT CERTIFICATION



J. KELE MURDIN, PT, GCS, GTCCS, CEEAA, FSOAE

20 Contact Hours


The FSOAE certification is based on the Adult Functional Independence Test
(AFIT), which comprises 15 functional assessments used to measure the key
components of optimal aging for middle age and older adults: posture,
flexibility, balance, endurance, and strength.

All AFIT measures are research-based and provide national norms or predictive
analytics – the scores that indicate risk. Participants learn the evidence
supporting each measure, how to correctly perform each assessment and how to
explain the implications to their patients/ clients. Evidence based exercises
will be provided as suggested resources for the problems identified.

Course participants will participate in case studies, which include counseling
patients with regard to the appropriate course of action. Information on
marketing this tool to physicians, health agencies, and the community is
provided and practical, how-to handouts are included that the course
participants can download and use immediately. To earn their FSOAE
certification, participants will demonstrate their competence by means of a
motivational case study script, a written exam and a practical exam.

MAXIMIZING MOBILITY, BALANCE, GAIT, AND FALL REDUCTION STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE
FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES IN OLDER ADULTS



TRENT BROWN , MOT, OTR/L, ATP, CFPS, CGCP, BCG

20 contact hours


How can I improve quality of life and participation in meaningful activity while
meeting the demands of the industry? How can I effectively evaluate and provide
treatment strategies addressing stability, mobility, falls, confidence, gait,
and mobility with my clients in their specific context?

If these questions are occupying your thoughts these days, then this innovative,
evidence-based course is for you. You’ll learn new perspectives, at least a
dozen assessment tools that provide objective data, and 2-3 dozen treatment
strategies. And…you’ll be engaged and energized.

Trent Brown is known for making learning fun. His course is based on solid
evidence, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t engaging. He is crazy creative! To make
sure that you leave with practices that can be put to use safely tomorrow, he
devotes 6-7 hours of this course to lab work. You will learn, practice, get
feedback, and then practice again until you have mastered the skills.

Trent’s course manual is referred to as a picture book because it includes
pictures of deficits, pictures of research results that address the problem
(actual pictures, not just words), and then pictures of a therapist using
assessments and interventions while working with a patient. Participants LOVE
the picture book and many have told Trent that they attend his course because
they’ve seen their colleagues’ picture book.

REHABILITATION STRATEGIES FOR THE OLDER ADULT WITH MULTI-MORBIDITY



DR. DEBRA GRAY, PT, DHSC, DPT, GCS, CEEAA, GTCCS, FSOAE, CAPS

20 contact hours


As mortality rates decline and the population ages, rehabilitation specialists
must be prepared to recognize and consider the multiple chronic conditions
commonly seen in older adults. The purpose of this seminar is to provide
participants with the most current information and evidence on multi-morbidity
with aging, components of comprehensive geriatric examination, and the
implications of common chronic conditions in the development and implementation
of highly skilled rehabilitation programs for medically complex older persons.
The interactive seminar format combines lecture, discussion, videos, case
studies, and hands-on activities to present the most recent research,
examination tools, and interventions for older adults with multi-morbidity. An
extensive course manual includes current primary references, detailed evaluation
forms, outcome measures, suggested protocols, sample home exercises, and
progressions.

THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE FOR THE OLDER ADULT



MARK TRAFFAS, PT, GTCCS, FSOAE

20 Contact Hours


Exercising geriatric patients presents a unique challenge to therapists. Most
patients have multiple diagnoses, take multiple medications and are frequently
deconditioned and possibly have never previously exercised. Participants will
learn different exercise techniques and innovative interventions for all of the
body’s major joints as well as for the most common diagnoses seen in older
persons (i.e., stroke, Parkinson’s disease, gait and balance deficits, etc.).
Participants will also learn how to use functional tools to establish and guide
exercise programs, thus improving functional test scores, outcomes and safe
mobility. Evidence-based research will be used to support the efficacy of the
geriatric exercises presented and both indications and contraindications will be
discussed. Participants will be instructed in which modalities have been proven
to enhance therapeutic exercise as well as how to bill for treatment to maximize
financial return. Our older patients also present challenges in learning new
exercises and being motivated to perform. This course will also present multiple
ideas to improve communication, learning and motivation that will only serve to
enhance the overall exercise program and functional outcome. Developing
geriatric exercise programs is challenging and sometimes difficult but can also
be fun and rewarding. This course will provide therapists the opportunity to
broaden their horizons.

TOTAL JOINT ARTHROPLASTY



ALISA CURRY, PT, DPT, GTCCS, GCS, FSOAE

20 Contact Hours


Take evidence and combine it with the topic of total joint arthroplasty and you
will get the essential message of this course. How can we, as clinicians,
practice in this rapidly changing environment and give great substantiated care?
This course will give clinicians tools and research to apply in their current
treatment environments. The field of total joint arthroplasty has evolved due to
the advancement of surgical techniques, components and the patient population.
This course helps to educate clinicians on the multidisciplinary role and how to
best work with team members in providing outstanding patient care. The insider
scoop on the perspectives of orthopedic surgeons and nursing will also be
reviewed. A combination of lecture, case studies, interactive participation and
videos will be integrated for a well rounded educational experience. By
examining the procedures of the hip, knee and shoulder, clinicians will be
educated on the entire process of joint arthroplasty from pre- operative
education to post rehabilitation in all settings. We will also explore patient
pathologies, understanding the role of pharmacology, the role of education and
the rehabilitation role in the interdisciplinary treatment team. Finally
participants will leave with a plethora of treatment ideas as well as outcome
tools to improve existing protocols.
