Lodge at Whitefish Lake,

OPTION 1: Balance Rehabilitation: Translating Research into
Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Anne Shumway-Cook, PT, PhD, FAPTA
10.75 Contact Hours/ 1.075 CEUs * Montana Category A
The overall goal of this course is to discuss new concepts
in the assessment and treatment of balance impairments
leading to loss of functional independence and falls in both
neurologic and geriatric populations. The course will review
some of the research related to the physiologic basis for
normal and impaired balance, and consider the application of
this research in the assessment and treatment of patients with
balance disorders.
About the Instructor:
Anne Shumway-Cook, PT, PhD, FAPTA is a Professor
Emeritus in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the
University of Washington, Seattle, Washington. Her research
focuses on understanding the physiologic basis for balance
and mobility disorders in neurologic and geriatric populations,
and the translation of this research into best practices related
to assessment and treatment of balance disorders. She has
published extensively, and is coauthor of the book Motor
Control: Translating Research into Clinical Practice. Her clini-
cal practice focused on treatment of adults with balance and
mobility impairments; she developed a number of hospital and
community evidence-based fall prevention programs.
At the completion of this course participants will be able to:
1. Discuss the control of balance within a dynamic systems
model, and within the International Classification of
Function, Health and Disability.
2. Describe sensory, motor and cognitive contributions to
normal and impaired balance in older adults and those
with neurologic pathology.
3. Discuss and demonstrate methods for assessing motor,
sensory and cognitive aspects of balance control in the
clinic.
4. Discuss current best practices related to retraining
balance in both geriatric and neurologic populations;
develop a progression of exercises designed to improve
motor, sensory and cognitive aspects of balance and
discuss the evidence to support these strategies.

OPTION 2: Evaluation and Treatment of the Injured Runner: A
Movement System Approach Gregory Holtzman PT, DPT & Ryan DeGeeter, PT, DPT, CSCS
6.75 Contact Hours/ 0.675 CEU * Montana Category A
In recent years, running has become an increasingly popular
form of physical activity. Estimates suggest that the number
of runners in the United States has increased to up to 4 to
14 million individuals over the past several years. Running
is a relatively cheap and effective form of physical activity, making it a common choice of exercise for a variety of
people. However, running is not without risk. Recreational
and competitive runners alike can sustain injuries as a result
of improper training, poor running mechanics, and underlying
movement faults. Healthcare professionals, specifically physical therapists, are becoming more involved with the evaluation and treatment of running injuries. The purpose of this
course is to provide information that will enable the healthcare
professional to thoroughly evaluate the injured runner and to
confidently prescribe appropriate intervention techniques. The
course will highlight proper running mechanics and describe
common running injuries that occur with improper technique.
A movement system evaluation will be described to identify
specific impairments of muscle strength, length, and recruitment that are relevant to the injured runner. Specific interventions to modify running mechanics will be discussed.
After completion of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Understand the physical stress theory as it relates to
common running injuries, including the specific impact
of sustained postures and repeated movements.
2. Explain how specific impairments of muscle strength,
length, and recruitment can adversely affect running
mechanics.
3. Describe common running injuries and understand
the relationship of faulty running mechanics to these
injuries.
4. Describe specific tests and measures that can be used
to thoroughly evaluate the injured runner.
5. Describe specific interventions (exercise, education,
and physical agents/modalities) that can be used to successfully treat the injured runner.
