( HS Karpatkin 065604 2025) Multiple Sclerosis Rehabilitation: Update on Clinical Practice for Allied Health

Course overview

The one size fits all approach to treating persons with MS is insufficient to meet the needs of the issues these patients face. Unlike other diagnoses commonly seen in rehab such as stroke and spinal cord injury, MS is highly variable and patients can present in unique and diverse ways. Clinicians require specific training to adequately address the mobility issues of patients with this diagnosis. In this session, led by Herb Karpatkin, an MS clinician, researcher, and educator you will learn how to design and progress exercise programs that meet the needs of individual patients based on their specific evaluative findings as well as the severity and phenotype of their condition. In this session, evaluative techniques used identify the root causes of movement dysfunction in MS will be presented. The evaluative findings will be used as a means by which to develop a customized comprehensive treatment plan and special attention will be paid to dealing with the impact of fatigue and thermosensitivity. Through case studies, hands on techniques, based on peer reviewed evidence, youll leave with the confidence to handle any MS case that comes your way. Whether your patient is just beginning to experience symptoms or is dealing with more advanced stages, youll be equipped with the tools to make a real difference in their lives. Join us to learn how to transform your approach to MS care because when it comes to MS, theres no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution.
