Treatment Concepts for Persons Aging With Parkinson’s Disease

Subscribe now, and access clinical education and patient education—anytime, anywhere—with video instruction from recognized industry experts.
Video Runtime: 69 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 33 Minutes

The effective treatment of persons with Parkinson's disease (PD) requires appropriate assessment and the ability to modify interventions. An understanding of the neurodegenerative process and its effect on anatomy and pathophysiology is necessary. Differential diagnosis is essential in working with patients with PD and will guide the intervention process through the invaluable progression of motor and nonmotor symptoms. Therapists are critical in providing the right dosage and application of aerobic and skilled exercise, optimal medication levels, and timing and need for alternative interventions, such as deep brain stimulation. This course will help the rehabilitation specialist to manage persons with Parkinson's across disease severity and will begin to translate the explosion of research into real-world clinical practice. This course is part 5 in a five-part series encompassing the anatomy and treatment for patients with neurodegenerative diseases.

Video Runtime: 60 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 26 Minutes

Specific neuronal connections are responsible for the endless varieties of human movement. In the face of neurodegeneration, patients will have specific functional deficits depending on the anatomy that is damaged. The ability to understand the functional anatomy of the central nervous system (CNS) is necessary to understand how a person will learn and move with these deficits. This understanding will also help with differential diagnosis of CNS impairments as well as creating and modifying treatment interventions that are specific to patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis (MS), and Parkinson's disease (PD). This course utilizes lecture, demonstration, and multiple patient video examples to enhance learning. This course is Part 1 of a five-part series in which a comprehensive review of the central nervous system is applied with the focus of functional anatomy while aging with degeneration.

Treating Patients With Neurodegenerative Conditions

Subscribe now, and access clinical education and patient education—anytime, anywhere—with video instruction from recognized industry experts.
Video Runtime: 55 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 27 Minutes

There are many different motor learning strategies a therapist can use to enhance patients' ability to learn new skills. This course will explore four motor learning strategies, the most effective teaching methods targeted to the specific neural structure involved, and eight additional effective ways to enhance motor learning and improve patient outcomes. When these strategies are used in combination, treatment sessions as well as long-term results will be improved. Compensation strategies for cognitive impairment will be presented. This course utilizes lecture, demonstration, and multiple patient video examples to enhance learning. This course is Part 2 in a five-part series encompassing the anatomy and treatment for patients with neurodegenerative diseases, including multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease.

Video Runtime: 72 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 35 Minutes

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease that is often misdiagnosed until later stages. Because of this, therapists treating these patients for orthopedic and neurological issues need to recognize the signs and symptoms for differential diagnosis. This course will guide the therapist in advanced knowledge of diagnosis and intervention with the appropriate equipment and therapies during all stages of the disease, including referral to and communication with other health care professionals to manage the multisystem needs of these patients as they decline in function. It will also guide the therapist in the types of equipment needed during each stage. On completion of this course, the therapist will be able to apply proper tests and measures to guide treatment. This course utilizes case study, lecture, demonstration, and patient video examples to enhance learning.

Interventions for Neurological Diagnoses: Balance

Presented by Kay Wing, PT, DPT, NCS

Interventions for Neurological Diagnoses: Balance

Subscribe now, and access clinical education and patient education—anytime, anywhere—with video instruction from recognized industry experts.

Older adults with neurological deficits have a greater risk of falling due to balance-related issues. This can lead to fear of falling, which in turn may decrease the patient's mobility and further increase the risk of falling. This decreased participation and physical activity negatively impacts the patient's quality of life. Join Dr. Wing as she presents an innovative progression of interventions from simple to complex balance activities to challenge and facilitate balance for function in a variety of environments.

Interventions for Neurological Diagnoses: Postural Transitions & Gait

Subscribe now, and access clinical education and patient education—anytime, anywhere—with video instruction from recognized industry experts.

Once a patient has mastered the functional task of sitting, the next progression is often to standing, with the ultimate goal of walking. Standing is the basis of a number of transitional positions in walking, so if one is unable to stand, they're likely unable to walk. Join Dr. Wing in the second part of this three-part series as she demonstrates sit-to-stand transitions and walking activities for patients with various neurological disorders. Fundamental principles of motor control to function, safety, and independence will be incorporated as an essential component of sit-to-stand transitions, with an emphasis on the importance of walking speed on quality and length of life.

Geriatric patients with neurological deficits will present with a range of functional abilities. Clinicians will benefit from the addition of strategies to their intervention repertoire in order to provide the most efficacious treatment. All patients, regardless of the nuances of their specific neurological diagnosis and their function, need to progress through the basic movement patterns described in this course. Join Dr. Wing to learn how to apply the appropriate strategies for intervention to build on a patient's current abilities and functional needs toward improving quality of life. A progression of interventions for patients with various neurological disorders will be demonstrated to facilitate motor control and postural transitions through interventions in a variety of postures and activities from the mat to functional mobility.
