COURSE DESCRIPTION
Designing a program of
interventions for patients with spinal cord injury requires an
understanding of the functional outcomes for each level of injury.
However, many other aspects of this type of diagnosis must be
considered to provide a comprehensive intervention including 1)
common complications of patients with SCI, 2) shoulder pain causes
and interventions for prevention, 3) seating and positioning, 4)
strategies for optimal movement for different level injuries, and 5)
exercise prescription. This course involves using multiple videos
of actual patients to review interventions that will optimize the
independence of patients with a variety of levels of injury. This
course will include extensive use of videos for analysis, case
studies, and small group discussions for intervention design.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, participants
will be able to:
- Describe common complications of patients
with SCI and how they affect interventions
- List priority early interventions to perform
with patients with varying levels of injury
- Describe the common causes of shoulder pain
and design an optimal strengthening program.
- Identify key components of seating for
optimal positioning
- Describe key features of strategies required
for varying levels of injury
- Compare and contrast exercise prescriptions
for varying levels of injury
- Perform case studies to design
individualized progressive interventions
Who should attend:

seminar is rated a basic to intermediate level of instruction
