Fall Back To Duke PT 70th Anniversary Celebration ‘Improving patient durability following ACL reconstruction using a movement based construct: building from the ground up’ Friday, November 1, 2013 1:00 – 4:15 PM +LOWRQ'XUKDP%DOOURRP Course Instructor: Robert J. Butler, PT, DPT, PhD - Assistant Professor Dr. Butler is a clinical scientist, an educator and a mentor in the DPT Program. His specific area of expertise is in clinical biomechanics. Dr. Butler brings this expertise to the Movement Science sequence in the first year of the DPT curriculum. His research is focused on the role of functional movement outcomes in identifying and addressing movement dysfunction as it relates to reducing injury risk, improving therapeutic outcomes, and reducing the rate of joint degeneration. He has presented a number of abstracts at national and international conferences and has published multiple publications in rehabilitation and biomechanical journals. Dr. Butler serves as a movement based outcomes consultant for a number of orthopedic and sports medicine groups nationally and internationally in populations ranging across the lifespan. Course Description: The course will focus on establishing a movement based concept for progressing rehabilitation with specific application to ACL reconstruction patients. Following the overview presentations, lab time will be spent focusing on how to progress, regress and lateralize exercise programming aimed at improving movement quality. Course Agenda: 1. Shaping Athlete Durability through Movement: Application to ACL Rehabilitation 2. Fundamental Core exercises: the soft core to hard core continuum 3. Matrix: Logic in Corrective Exercise Progression Fall Back To Duke PT 70th Anniversary Celebration ‘Cervical and Thoracic Spinal Screening for the Autonomous Practitioner’ Friday, November 1, 2013 1:00 – 4:15 PM Hilton 'XUKDP Ballroom Course Instructor: Michael P. Reiman, PT, DPT, OCS, SCS, ATC/L, FAAOMPT, CSCS Assistant Professor Dr. Reiman is an active clinical researcher, an educator and a mentor in the DPT Program. In addition to his certifications as an athletic trainer and strength and conditioning specialist, Dr. Reiman is a manual therapy fellow through the American Academy of Orthopaedic and Manual Physical Therapists (having completed a 2 ½ year fellowship program), is a USA Weightlifting level 1 coach and a USA Track and Field level 1 coach. Dr. Reiman has co-written the only textbook on functional testing, Functional Testing in Human Performance, written eight book chapters on orthopedic examination/intervention and training for strength, power, and endurance. His current research and presentation interests focus on performance enhancement, low back/hip pain, and evidence based examination/intervention of the hip joint. He is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association, National Athletic Trainers' Association, National Strength and Conditioning Association, USA Weightlifting Association, and USA Track and Field Association. Course Description: This three-hour lecture/lab-based course will focus on the clinical decision making process (with respect to clinical reasoning and best evidence) related to cervical and thoracic spine pathologies with concern for red flags (or serious pathology). Best evidence, as it relates to screening for serious pathology of the spine, will be presented. Limitations of the current best evidence will also be discussed. Laboratory examination techniques will be instructed and practiced. Course Agenda: 1. 2. 3. 4. Introduction/Background Cervical and Thoracic Spine Screening LAB – Screening Assessment of Cervical and Thoracic Spine Conclusions and Future Recommendations 5. Question/Answer Fall Back To Duke PT 70th Anniversary Celebration ‘Physical Therapy Management of the Pregnant and Postpartum Patient’ Saturday, November 2, 2013 9:00 AM – 12:15 PM Duke DPT Erwin Square Technology Classroom Course Instructor: Carol Figuers, MS, PT, EdD - Professor Dr. Figuers is a Professor in the Division of Physical Therapy, Duke University School of Medicine, in Durham, North Carolina. She received her BA in Biology from Wake Forest University, her MS in Physical Therapy from Duke University, and her EdD in Education from North Carolina State University. In addition to directing the Physical Therapist Interventions track within the DPT educational program at Duke, Dr. Figuers teaches an elective course in women's health and provides local, regional and national lectures in the area of pelvic floor dysfunction and obstetrics. Currently, Dr. Figuers provides clinical services in the women's health program for Duke University Health Systems. Her research interests include pelvic floor muscle activity and incontinence in elite athletes and post-partum physical symptoms and exercise habits. Course Description: This course will provide an overview of the many physiological changes that occur during pregnancy and postpartum and how they impact the musculoskeletal system. Specific examination and intervention techniques will be discussed and demonstrated, with a focus on prevention of future health problems for new moms. In addition, special populations including the pregnant athlete and high risk pregnancy will be reviewed. Course Agenda: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Impact of physical changes during pregnancy Pelvic floor considerations prenatal and postpartum PT examination PT interventions Special populations Questions/Answers Fall Back To Duke PT 70th Anniversary Celebration "What do you mean I have loose rocks in my head?" Evaluation and Management of Benign Paroxysmal Positioning Vertigo November 2, 2013 9:00 AM – 12:15 PM Duke DPT – Erwin Square Kaiser Classroom Course Instructor: Richard Clendaniel, PT, PhD - Assistant Professor Dr. Clendaniel is a clinical scientist, an educator, a clinician and a mentor in the DPT Program. His training and scientific practice have made him a recognized expert in the rehabilitation of individuals with vestibular disorders. He is an invited lecturer both nationally and internationally on the evaluation and management of individuals with dizziness. He has authored numerous papers and book chapters on vestibular system plasticity and treatment. He is the co-editor of a major textbook on vestibular rehabilitation. In addition to teaching and research, he maintains an active clinical practice treating individuals with dizziness and imbalance. In addition to his faculty position within the DPT Program at Duke, he has an adjunct faculty appointment and teaches in the Doctor of Audiology program at UNC. Course Description: Positioning vertigo is typically the most common cause of dizziness encountered in the clinic. This lecture and laboratory course will cover the identification and treatment techniques for posterior, horizontal and anterior semicircular variants of BPPV. On completion of the course, the participant should be able to identify the various types of BPPV and be able to perform the recommended treatments for these conditions. Course Agenda: 1. Identification and treatment of posterior canal BPPV (lecture) 2. Treatment of posterior canal BPPV (lab) 3. Identification and treatment of anterior and horizontal canal BPPV (lecture) 4. Treatment of anterior and horizontal canal BPPV
