Common Spinal Surgeries: Procedures and OT Management
Tracking # 20-1215212
Course overview
Each year, almost 1 million spinal procedures are performed in the U.S. The most common include anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, cervical disc arthroplasty, lumbar fusion, and lumbar laminectomy. After these procedures, the occupational therapy team plays a key role in evaluating, progressing, and educating patients through their recovery. This course reviews these common spinal surgical procedures and uses case studies to model precautions, considerations, interventions, expected progression, and outcomes for each. The goal of this course is to provide occupational therapy professionals with an understanding of common spinal surgeries and the role of therapy during recovery.
