Success in ALS/HD: How Do We Measure Progress When Decline Is Expected?

Course overview

Join host J.J. Mowder-Tinney, PT, PhD, as she sits down with Matthew Caraher, PT, DPT, NCS, a board-certified specialist with extensive experience in multidisciplinary ALS and Huntington's disease care. Together, they explore how to move past a "fear-based" clinical mindset and toward intentional, staged rehabilitation when working with neurodegenerative conditions. You'll discover practical, evidence-based strategies for dosing moderate-intensity exercise, using objective assessment tools and subjective reports to guide treatment, and recognizing when "skilled maintenance" is the ultimate clinical win. Learn how to shift your focus from impairment correction to maximizing participation and quality of life for patients and their caregivers.
