New VNG Seminar

Description:
This course presents essential evidence-based tests and measures used for
examination of neurologic impairments, activity limitations, and
participation restrictions with application to case studies. The focus of the
course is practicing and applying these outcome measures organized
according to International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health
(ICF) levels.

Objectives:
At completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
• Discuss the choice of outcome measures based on the ICF model,
psychometric properties, and recomendations from the StrokEDGE, TBI EDGE,
and Core Measures CPG of the Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy
• Demonstrate tests and measures of impairment, activity limitations and
participation measures for individuals with stroke and traumatic brain injury
• Make recommendations for tests and measures for individuals with stroke
and brain injury

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

February 21-23, 2020

This 3-day (25.5 hour) course is primarily geared towards the clinician interested in learning evidence-based management for both the vestibular and/or concussion (m-TBI) patient. The workshop will present both assessment and rehabilitation protocols to manage identifiable vestibular and balance system disorders, including cortical and labyrinthine concussion. Evidence based protocols will be presented, demonstrated, and practiced to ensure clinicians produce excellent outcomes. The workshop will include significant hands-on practice to increase skill competencies.

Course Description

• This course will give clinicians knowledge on principles of musculoskeletal ultrasound, including general physics/machine instrumentation, anatomy, pathology and the current role for clinic application as it relates to Physical Therapists.
• This course is designed to give registrants maximal opportunity for practical learning with 4 hours of scanning in the afternoon. Due to the course being one day, the lecture topics will cover areas in the upper extremity most commonly seen in clinical practice

Course Objectives

• Give clinicians an understanding of ultrasound history
• Identify when musculoskeletal sonography is indicated to assist in managing and diagnosing common conditions
• Explain basic physics and instrumentation of ultrasound for optimal viewing potential
• Present information on common uses and limitations using MSK ultrasound
• Review of anatomy for upper extremity scanning
• Present most common pathology with MSK ultrasound
• Give clinicians understanding MSKUS utilization in current best practices
• Perform basic scans of the shoulder, elbow and hand/wrist

** The morning session will cover introduction to musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging and pathology as well as a live demonstration of selected anatomical sites. and introduction and afternoon session will consist of upper extremity scanning and practical application with our expert instructors

CEU: Participants are awarded 0.7 CEUs or 7 contact hours at the end of the course.
