He works with numerous charities such as the Challenged Athlete Foundation, Camp No Limits and the Amputee Empowerment Partner’s Program.. Instruction level is basic.

Keynote Address Astronaut Low Back Pain in Space, HNPs Post-flight and Proposed Countermeasures

Speaker: Jojo Sayson PT DMT MOMT FAAOMPTSaturday, September 21

8:00 – 9:00 a.m.

Astronauts during microgravity frequently report moderate to severe low back pain and with an apparent correlation to a high incidence of HNPs post-flight. Pathomechanism of back pain in microgravity is possibly discogenic (or mechanical) associated with reduction of gravitational compressive loads. The pain mechanism appears somatic referred via sinuvertebral nerve impulse propagation due to excessive expansion and annular deformation of the lumbar intervertebral discs (IVDs). The fetal tuck position may increase IVD hydrostatic pressure by flexion and transfer spinal compressive forces towards the anterior IVD, subsequently reducing IVD volume and providing pain relief. The IVDs adapt by hypotrophy in the absence of 1G cyclic loading to the spine. Quantitative results on morphological, biochemical, metabolic, and kinematic spinal changes in the lumbar spine may provide a more definitive understanding of spine physiology and a basis for countermeasures to prevent low back pain in microgravity and reduce the incidence of HNPs post-flight. Instruction level is advanced.

It will also include current APTA status on wellness and the physical therapy profession. Instruction level is basic.

Acute Care Wound Care: Understanding Wound Healing in the Acute Care Setting

Speaker: Rose Hamm, PT

Caring for patients with wounds in the acute care setting requires a multi-discipline effort that includes the physical therapist, even the one who is not interested in being a wound care

therapist! This presentation discusses basic principles of wound healing as it applies to the acute care patient, differential diagnosis of the most common wound types seen in the acute care setting, and the role of physical therapy in caring for these patients. Focus will be on best practice wound care as well as special considerations that therapists providing functional interventions can include in the treatment sessions to facilitate wound healing.

This talk will focus on the development of three such assistive devices: a powered transfemoral prosthesis for lower extremity amputees, the development of a multigrasp hand for upper extremity amputees, and the development of a lower limb exoskeleton for legged mobility assistance in individuals with paraplegia and stroke. Instruction level is intermediate.

Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine: Harnessing the Body’s Natural Ability to Heal

Speaker: Gretchen Meyer, PhD

This presentation will be an introduction to stem cells and regenerative medicine that will highlight recent advances and applications to physical therapy. It will cover basic definitions of terms used in

the field, how stem cells behave in the body and what

signals influence this behavior, and how we can use this information to promote the body’s own natural healing in cases of injury and disease. Instruction level is basic.

Positioning of the PT BrandSpeaker: Tannus Quatre, PT, MBA

As members of the physical therapy profession, each of us provide one voice, one face, and one experience to a profession defined collectively by us all. As we embark upon efforts to achieve

mass adoption of direct access physical therapy, it is imperative that we place a collective focus on the one aspect which defines us — our brand.

In this session, I will bring attention and guidance to the components of our brand that must be expressed consistently in order to achieve recognition as direct access providers. In this session I hope to call the PT community to action in an effort to clearly define our brand so that others don’t do it for us. Instruction level is basic.

Inflammation, Atherosclerosis, Neurodegneration, and Cancer

Speaker: Bradley Stockert, PT, PhD

Chronic inflammation has been linked to an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease and Alzheimer disease. Adipose tissue secretes hormones that

produce chronic inflammation while physical activity causes muscles to secrete hormones that have an anti-inflammatory impact and decrease the level of chronic inflammation present. The purpose of this course is to provide evidence of how anti-inflammatory medications and physical activity can be used as interventions against atherosclerosis, some forms of cancer and neurodegenerative disease. Instruction level is intermediate.

3:30 – 5:00 p.m.Rehabilitation Following Articular Cartilage Procedures

In addition to these commercially available technologies, we will also explore what is on the bionic horizon for prosthetic robotics. Instruction level is intermediate.

PTSD and the Physiotherapy PatientSpeaker: Kim Dunleavy, PT, PhD, OCS

The psychological impact of trauma including physical violence, sexual abuse, or war injuries is extensive, and can influence short-term and long-term physical and psychological health of survivors. The psychological sequelae of trauma necessitate adaptation of physical therapy interventions and responsive management

strategies. There are often occasions when psychological effects of stressors or symptoms of acute, chronic or delayed onset post-traumatic stress symptoms and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) either from recent trauma or previous history may emerge during hospitalization. This presentation will discuss the identification of PTSD symptoms and trauma-cognizant management strategies during Physical Therapy treatment. The influence of the co-morbidity on outcomes and referral mechanisms will be discussed. Instruction level is basic.

Return to Play: Strategies for Typical and Atypical Cases

Speakers: Vernon Williams, MD; Nirav Patel, PT, DPT; Jose Posas, MD

Affordable Care Act: Healthcare is Changing. Are you?

Speaker: Katherine Sullivan, PT, PhD, FAHA

The Medicare Act (1965) and Americans with Disability Act (1990) are examples where Congress responded to the health needs of the elderly and people with disability. The Affordable Care Act (2010)

is upon us now. This presentation will emphasize how the ACA is an opportunity to shift our focus from a hierarchical, medical-model physical therapy that focuses on response to disease and injury to a biopsychosocial model of health and wellness. The physical therapist of the 21st Century will provide individual and family-centered social model of health care that emphasizes health promotion so that all children and adults, with or without permanent disability, have a greater chance of living a healthy, physically active lives. Instruction level is intermediate.

See page 2 for description.

10:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.Legal and Ethical: How to Stay the Course

Speaker: David Powers, PT, DPT, MA, MBA

Unfortunately, many physical therapists are often unaware of the legal system until they are faced with a lawsuit. Even with a verdict in favor of the physical therapist it can take a toll in personal

stress, discouragement and time away from the practice to fight the allegations. Lawyers cannot always provide a precise answer to a legal question or predict the outcome of a legal disagreement. Having an understanding of liability claims and knowing the risks that confront physical therapists is important in protecting patients and reducing risk. Instruction level is basic.

The Body Electric: Your Guide to the Functional Dissection of the Nervous System

8:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.Clinical Decision Making for Low Back Pain: It’s Much More Than your HandsSpeaker: John Childs, PT, PhD

Total annual direct healthcare costs in the United States incurred by patients with low back pain (LBP) exceed $85 billion. Wide practice variation in how health care practitioners manage these conditions and the few incentives for providing high quality and efficient health care contribute to the problem. Therefore, evidence-based clinical decision-making is essential for managing these patients. The focus of this course will be on the differential diagnosis of LBP and reviewing the latest sub-grouping methodology to match the right treatment to the right patient at the right time. We will describe screening strategies for identifying patients with potentially serious medical conditions. We will also discuss how to screen for patients at risk for chronicity using the LBP STarT criteria. Based on the latest health services research, we will examine the importance of process of care delivery, how patients with LBP access certain health care practitioners and health care services, how much care costs, and what happens to patients as a result of this care under real-world circumstances. Come join us for a discussion on how physical therapists can position themselves as leaders in the cost effective prevention and management of patients with LBP! Instruction level is intermediate.

Linked: Breathing and Postural ControlSpeakers: Mary Massery, PT, DPT, DSc

This course will challenge the practitioner to make a paradigm shift; acknowledge the importance of the cardiopulmonary system as an integral component of postural control. The speaker will present a model of postural control (Soda Pop Can Model) that demonstrates how breathing mechanics are linked to motor and physiologic behaviors. The speaker will present how to use this information clinically to develop positioning and ventilatory strategies that establish the pulmonary system as an asset rather than a liability for patients. This presentation will focus on the pediatric patient with multiple co-morbidities. Instruction level is intermediate.

CPTA Exhibit Hall Friday, September 20, 11:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Saturday, September 21, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
