Advanced Neuro Skills Part 16 - Spring 2025

Course overview

Patients with neurological conditions can be extremely challenging to treat. There is such a variety of patient presentations as well as specialty needs. This makes it challenging for Occupational and Physical Therapists to remain up to date. These webinars are an ongoing effort to identify the optimal treatment techniques to better support the busy therapist. The priority will be to focus on the latest literature and emphasize the most up to date recommendations to improve patient outcomes. This series of live online courses will focus on knowledge translation of key concepts into clinical practice. Summaries of the latest research for assessment and intervention will be provided while also working directly with therapists on their current patients to guide them in designing their evidence-based interventions. The sessions will focus on a variety of treatment interventions, conditions, and diagnosis to guide the neurologic therapist's clinical decision-making. Planned learning activities will include teaching the current best practices in the management of Cerebellar Ataxia, Multiple Sclerosis and Central Vision Impairments will be presented. An additional session will focus on how to teach falls training safely within this population, in stages. These interactive teaching sessions will equip learners with key concepts, ensuring immediate application in their clinical practice. This content will be presented over 7 modules, 1 hour in length each. The content will be presented live/virtual with the ability for attendees to interact with the instructors. Attendees have the option of attending live (synchronous), or watching and learning at a later time (asynchronous), for each module. These options present the ability for students to fully participate synchronously, fully asynchronously, or a hybrid combination of the two to cover all of the modules.
