Presented by Jennifer Stone, PT, DPT, OCS, PHC, TPS, HLC
Recorded Webinar
Course: #3975Level: Intermediate2 Hours
Acute and chronic trauma is very prevalent in the United States, and have been tied strongly to adverse health behaviors and outcomes. This course provides the rehabilitation professional with an overview of the physiology of trauma, as well as practical tools to work with patients who are experiencing trauma. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Static Splinting Series
Presented by Kirsten Davin, OTD, OTR/L, ATP, SMS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #4063Level: Intermediate4 Hours
The static splinting 4-course series consists of an overview of the history of splint fabrication, the advances in the splinting and orthotics arena, and an anatomical review of key structures and landmarks. A detailed demonstration of wrist orthotics is presented as well as radial gutter/thumb spica splints, dorsal and volar wrist cock-ups, functional position with an intrinsic plus modification option, hand-based thumb spica, finger gutter and MP joint blocking splints. The application and use of a spring finger extension splint, oval 8 splints as well as static progressive finger flexion and extension splints are included.Finally, the fabrication of a footplate for external fixator application, the application of lower extremity splints and orthotics as well as splinting considerations for specific diagnoses including burn injury occurs in part 4.

Please note: This course series is comprised of the following individual recordings: #4018, #4020, #4022, and #4024

Dynamic Splinting Series: Splinting for Elbow and Wrist Function
Presented by Kirsten Davin, OTD, OTR/L, ATP, SMS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #4057Level: Intermediate4 Hours
The dynamic splinting 4-course series consists of foundational knowledge of dynamic splinting and the examination of methods associated with fabricating and/or implementing dynamic wrist splints for the management of wrist, elbow, and forearm range of motion, support, and joint protection needs. Methods and applications are discussed for use with clients who present with long-term dynamic splinting needs as well as benefits and inherent risks associated with the application of dynamic splinting in conjunction with specific population groups are covered in the final course of the series.

Please note: This course series is comprised of the following individual recordings: #4026, #4038, #4049, and #4051

Are We Underserving the Pediatric Ankle? Supporting Development Through a Multi-System Approach
Presented by Amanda Hall, PT, MPT
Recorded Webinar
Course: #3832Level: Intermediate2 Hours
This course will instruct on examination and treatment of foot and ankle involvement for patients with pediatric health conditions including cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophies, and toe walking. Evidence-based interventions will be covered, including joint and soft tissue mobilizations to promote adaptive relative flexibility; improving intrinsic stability through progressive strengthening of the "foot core"; interventions to positively impact neuroplastic changes; and design of orthoses to support function and optimal development. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.
