CEU Courses for PTs

Participants will be taught the role of a PT in hospice and palliative care and how to develop an appropriate patient–centered POC. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

A review of the bloodborne pathogens standard as published by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Learn what you need to know in your place of employment, including employer requirements for protection and appropriate infection control practices. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This session discusses methods of assessment to appropriately quantify baseline aerobic capacity, tools, and technology that are available to ensure close monitoring of patient response to exercise and exercise prescription and implementation of a properly dosed HIIT program to promote cardiovascular adaptation. Using videos and interactive activities, presenters will demonstrate practical assessment and intervention strategies for endurance training in home health. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Power wheelchairs are designed to provide independent and functional mobility for people unable to efficiently self-propel any type of manual wheelchair. This course will introduce power-operated vehicles (scooters) and power wheelchairs, including features such as drive wheel configuration, power seating, and alternative driving methods. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This course will review current literature, definitions, and guidelines on various assistive device use for the older adult within physical therapy programming. We will review various assistive devices available and their benefits and proper use with a primary focus on ambulation aids. We will discuss training techniques, drawbacks, considerations, and safety methods when integrating these devices for use in the older adult. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Women with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) have a high rate of pelvic floor disorders, and EDS and HSD are highly prevalent in women with pelvic health impairments. This course provides physical therapists with an evidence-based update on EDS, HSDs, and pelvic health and will explore clinical reasoning in pelvic physical therapy treatment for this diverse patient population. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This course provides an overview of the unique considerations for seating and positioning in the home. Best practices and ethical dilemmas will be discussed with case examples. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Master skills to implement in your practice immediately with continued Master Class. Early development for the precrawling infant is greatly influenced by a variety of factors. Early intervention and identification of abnormal behaviors can be crucial within these progressive stages. This interdisciplinary course expands upon the theory of whole-body treatment, reflex identification, and therapeutic handling to effectively assist the infant’s early initiation of mobility and fine motor control. Through practical and clinical observations, the learner develops a deeper understanding of the importance of early intervention for the precrawling infant. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This course discusses current gait training evidence for clients with motor incomplete and motor complete spinal cord injury. High-intensity gait training, intervention selection for clients with motor complete and incomplete SCI, and assessing the effectiveness of interventions through the use of outcome measures are included. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Evidence-informed patient-centered care requires that home health physical therapists set achievable goals by avoiding the underdosing of exercise intensity for older adults. Patient-specific approaches to exercise prescriptions are cost-effective in reducing re-hospitalizations and promoting an early return to functional activities. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.
