AGENDA AT-A-GLANCE

SESSION DESCRIPTIONS

Bending But Not Breaking: Implications for Assessing, Treating & Managing the Hypermobile Athlete Amanda Blackmon, PT, DPT, OCS, CMTPT; Margaret Gebhardt, PT, DPT, OCS, CMTPTMultiple competitive and recreational sports and activities are biased toward hypermobility and extreme flexibility: gymnastics, ballet, figure skating, yoga, swimming, and diving. Many female athletes of all ages, body-types, and skill levels are participating in these sports and activities, on both competitive and non-competitive levels. Research shows that patients with hypermobility (single-joint, Benign Hypermobility Joint Syndrome, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) may be more prone to injury and long-term musculoskeletal impairments. These athletes may require special consideration with evaluation and treatment. Commonly accepted manual therapy interventions, such as joint mobilization, fascial manipulation, trigger point dry needling, and other soft tissue techniques, are typically used to improve the quality and integrity of connective tissue in our general patient population. However, in the hypermobile patient, these techniques could prove detrimental if they result in decreased ability to stabilize and control joint laxity via reduced neuromuscular control. On the contrary, techniques to facilitate local stabilization (tactile cuing, taping, individualized therapeutic exercise and neuromuscular re-education) are integral in successful management of this patient presentation. This session will address these concerns and create dialogue regarding best practice for this unique population. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Identify short and long-term implications in the patient and athlete presenting with joint hypermobility.• Examine and assess a patient for hypermobility, using standardized and objective measures.• Determine and implement appropriate manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and neuromuscular re-education interventions,

taking into consideration the patient’s degree of hypermobility and case presentation• Provide education, including techniques for prevention and wellness regarding joint hypermobility

Leading Emotionally is NOT Emotional! Janet Bezner, PT, DPT, PhD; Jennifer Green-Wilson, PT, MBA, EdD; Craig Moore, PT, MSWho is most likely to be successful – people who bark orders at team members when they are under stress, or people who react calmly and work collaboratively with others to assess and respond to different situations? Are you aware of how you tend to react to stress or conflict and how your reactions impact others? Do you know the triggers that “set you off” and do you understand why these triggers do so? Emotions involve three distinct components: a subjective experience, a physiological response, and a behavioral or expressive response (Hockenbury & Hockenbury, 2013). Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to understand and manage your own emotions as well as the emotions of people with whom you interact. EQ is essential for effective leadership. Leaders with a high degree of emotional intelligence know what they are feeling, what their emotions mean, how these emotions can affect other people, and how to adapt their interactions to be more successful. By increasing your EQ, you will be able to build stronger, more committed and engaged relationships because you will know how to connect with people more successfully. Increasing your EQ will help you, in leadership roles, make better decisions, engage and influence more effectively, and create the right mood and energy for productive teamwork. Bottom-line? Leaders with high emotional self-awareness create more positive work environments (Haygroup 2010 Research Study). Increasing your emotional intelligence requires you to take a sincere look at your capabilities and to become more intentional about your own development as a leader. The purpose of this session is to help you discover your strengths and opportunities for personal change in order to strengthen your ability to influence, lead, and engage others at all levels of clinical practice. This session will be interactive and participants will be encouraged to contribute throughout the program. Upon completion of this program, you’ll be able to:

• Understand emotions and emotional intelligence (EQ).• Identify the need for increasing EQ for effective leadership.• Self-assess your leadership capacity.• Improve your self-management of emotions.• Identify strategies to adapt your style of interacting with others.• Identify strategies for creating a positive work environment for others.• Develop an individual action plan to increase your EQ.

AGENDA AT-A-GLANCE

Integrated Service Delivery and Best Practice in Early Intervention Kilbrey Fowler, PT, DPT, PCS; Lisa Spurlock, PTAThis course will evaluate the impact of providing integrated medical and educational services in a variety of models that meet specific guidelines required by Public Laws relative to early intervention. The course will review guidelines for both Tennessee and Georgia, and compare our current systems with other states to determine strengths and weaknesses with regard to implementation of best practice. The course will discuss the changes in our patient populations based on medical advances in the NICU, cultural changes associated with our general populations, educational changes relative to both state and national standards, and resource limitations affecting both medicine and education.At the completion of this course the learner will be able to:

• Identify best practice as defined by legal standards in association with Public Laws, state implementation, and Early Interventioncompetencies in the Pediatric PT Journal.

• Recognize the ramifications of cultural, medical and educational differences in implementing best practice standards.• Discuss strategies for optimizing resource utilization when providing services for individuals in the early intervention system.

Sensory Processing: Implications for Physical Therapists Alyssa LaForme Fiss, PT, PhD, PCS; Niamh Tunney, PT, DPT, MSThis course will provide a general overview of examination and intervention strategies to address sensory processing impairments across the lifespan. The four main types of sensory processing disorders will be described including problems with sensory modulation, sensory discrimination and perception, vestibular processing and dyspraxia. The subcategories of sensory modulation and the typical presentation of these subcategories will be emphasized (sensory seeking, sensory hyporesponsivity, sensory hyperresponsivity, and sensory avoiding), and participants will self-assess their own sensory modulation using the Adolescent and Adult Sensory Profile. Basic intervention strategies to address various sensory modulation disorders will be presented. Case examples will be discussed in small group settings to integrate examination and intervention techniques for use in the clinic environment.By the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify and describe the four main categories of sensory processing disorder• Compare and contrast the four subcategories of sensory modulation• Understand the administration and scoring of the Sensory Profile• Discuss the available research on sensory processing interventions• Identify the appropriate use of various sensory interventions• Apply examination and intervention knowledge to patient case examples

Developmental Implications of Chronic Stress in Infants and Young Children Cathie Smith, PT, DPT, PhD, PCSRepeated exposure to stressful stimuli that result in chronic disruption of autonomic regulation of homeostatic control of multiple body systems can negatively impact neuromotor development of young children. Chronic endogenous or exogenous stress resulting in heightened activation of sympathetic neural processes may be associated with the development of biomechanically maladaptive postures and movement. This predisposes the immature neuromotor system to a constellation of atypical kinesiologic factors that may contribute to the expression of medical co-morbidities and compromised motor system development. This course will examine the neurodevelopmental implications of chronic exposure to stressful experiences in infants and young children. Neural stress regulatory mechanisms will be reviewed to help understand the impact of chronic stress on movement system development. The influence of negative stressors on co-morbidities such as the gut-brain neural circuitry will be considered. Risk and protective factors that can alter the adverse physiologic consequences of chronic stress on movement system development in young children will be explored.At the completion of this session, participants will be able to:

• Review neural stress regulation mechanisms and neuroplastic response to chronic stress• Discuss the adverse physiologic consequences of chronic autonomic disruption on movement system development in young

children• Identify risk and protective factors that influence neuromotor outcomes of children exposed to chronic stress

AGENDA AT-A-GLANCE

Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction: Conservative and Surgical Management Strategies Dr. Jason Wamack, DPM, FACFAS, Diplomat ABPS; Andy Gean, PT, DPT, OCS, COMTPosterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is a progressive condition that affects both active and sedentary individuals and represents a wide continuum of clinical presentations. Impairments and functional limitations associated with PTTD range from mild soft tissue involvement to severe foot deformity. Much research and investigation has been performed by the surgical and rehabilitation communities into the potential biomechanic, tendon-specific, and activity-related factors associated with individuals who have PTTD.This session will present a review of the clinical presentation of individuals with PTTD, clinical and radiographic considerations for individuals with PTTD, conservative management strategies, and surgical management strategies for individuals with PTTD. Gean, will discuss conservative management considerations to include discussions of: current research on PTTD and exercise, orthotic considerations, concepts of regional interdependence, and cortical neuroplastic changes associate with individuals with tendinopathy. Dr. Wamack will provide expert insight into conservative and surgical decision-making factors for individuals with PTTD.Session Learning Objectives:

• Discuss the continuum of clinical presentations of individuals with PTTD• Discuss clinical and histological differences in stages of PTTD• Review clinical and biomechanical exam for individuals with medial ankle pain• Provide evidence and rationale for conservative management of PTTD• Discuss treatment of PTTD to include concepts of regional interdependence and cortical motor control changes associated with

tendinopathies• Discuss surgical approaches for management of PTTD and relevant post-operative considerations.

Communicate & Negotiate Effectively! (Part A) Janet Bezner, PT, DPT, PhD; Jennifer Green-Wilson, PT, MBA, EdD; Craig Moore, PT, MSDo you consider yourself to be an effective communicator? And what does effective, assertive communication mean to you? Being assertive as a communicator means knowing how to balance the “fine line” between effectiveness and aggressiveness. It means having self-confidence - a strong sense of self and a belief in the value you bring. Being effective as a communicator means recognizing that you are worthy of standing up for yourself even in difficult situations. Assertiveness requires being forthright about your wants and needs while still considering the rights, needs, and wants of others.Assertive communication and negotiation skills can be learned and developed, and by practicing different techniques, you will gain confidence in expressing your needs and wants. As an assertive communicator, you will be better at collaborative problem solving because you will know how to engage others to find common ground quicker. You will feel empowered and less stressed because you will know how to leverage your own personal power when things do not go as expected or planned. You will be able to express constructive thoughts and feelings in a healthy and positive manner. By developing your assertive communication skills, you will improve your relationships, productivity, effectiveness, and your ability to influence others. Participants will be encouraged to contribute – assertively - to interactive discussions throughout the session.Upon completion of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Identify behaviors and communication styles associated with assertiveness and aggressiveness.• Examine benefits of developing an assertive communication style.• Gain an understanding for preparing, negotiating and evaluating the negotiation process and outcomes.• Develop skills to negotiate effectively.• Discuss the challenges faced when using effective assertive communication in various situations.• Discuss action plans for developing assertive communication skills.

Incorporating & Interpretation of Functional Testing & Training Across Patient Types Scott Lowe, PT, DPT, ATC, CEAS, CFEThis presentation will be lecture–based with demonstrations of various functional tests and training techniques. The first half will consist of methods and rationale for the use of different tests and measures as well as interpretation of findings. Afterwards concepts for addressing deficits found will be discussed with several real–life patient vignettes from initial evaluation to post–assessment measures.This presentation will be primarily focused for the outpatient setting, but information will be applicable across many practice realms. Use of tests and training methods across different patient populations will be addressed, including athletes, injured workers and general orthopedics.Learners will be able to identify which functional test elements are appropriate for different patient types including athletes, injured workers and those in the general orthopedic population. Participants will also learn how to complete intervention elements appropriate for improving tests found to be impaired. Evidence–based documentation will be discussed including how to incorporate functional test findings in examinations and assessments with ideas for utilization with different payor types.

AGENDA AT-A-GLANCE

Vestibular Development: A Look Beyond the Traditional View Jason Clopton, OD, FCOVDThis lecture will provide in depth knowledge of vestibular/visual function to allow the therapist to be able to better understand the functioning of their patients.Attendees will:

• Learn how the neurology of the vestibular/visual system applies to their patients functioning• Learn how the development of the vestibular/visual system applies to their pediatric patients• Be able to utilize the vestibular system in daily therapies.• Know when to refer out for potential difficulties with vestibular/visual functioning• Be able to apply therapy techniques to patients with vestibular/visual problems• Have an in depth knowledge of how to look for vestibular/visual problems

Maximizing Performance Using External Focus of Attention Melissa Bloom, PT, DPT, NCSThe literature on the benefits of using external focus of attention to maximize performance and motor learning is steadily growing. Results consistently demonstrate that subtle changes in our instructions to learners may affect the speed and amount of learning achieved. Studies have demonstrated benefits in the neurologic patient population as well as healthy individuals including athletes. This presentation will give the learner background into motor learning variables, including 3 new variables shown to further improve gains. The majority of the session will expand on one of those variables, external focus of attention. Supporting literature demonstrating its effectiveness will be examined. Clinical examples will be reviewed to allow the learner to immediately begin utilizing external focus of attention in their clinical practice.After completion of this presentation, the learner will be able to:

• Describe three ways we can adjust our feedback to target better motor learning and performance• Explain how external focus of attention benefits performance• Provide examples of clinical use of external focus of attention

Beyond the Female Athlete Triad: Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport & Implications for PTs Amanda Blackmon, PT, DPT, OCS, CMTPTThe “Female Athlete Triad” is well-known terminology for a spectrum of symptoms and pathology in female athletes that involve inadequate nutrition, low bone density and altered menses. However, in recent years, research has broadened in this area and has been renamed “Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport” (RED-S). This change in terminology and definition is meant to encompass a wider presentation of the syndrome and to include male athletes and over-exercisers. Additionally, athletes presenting with RED-S may or may not present with a traditionally diagnosable eating disorder (anorexia nervosa, bulimia, etc.) or with body dysmorphia. The symptoms of RED-S may be much broader than originally thought and can include dysfunction in a variety of systems including: gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, endocrine, immunological, integumentary, reproductive, etc. Physical therapists may play an integral role in diagnosing, addressing and preventing RED-S and its multi-systemic and often long–term effects. Physical therapists must be equipped to identify the signs and symptoms of RED-S, utilize appropriate language and communication techniques, identify other healthcare practitioners, and to work in a team-based approach to rehabilitate theses athletes. This session will address these concerns and create dialogue regarding best practice for this unique population.Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Identify the multi-variable components of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) and how if differs from the traditionaldefinition on Female Athlete Triad.

• Identify the immediate and long-term physiological and psychological impact of RED-S in the athletic population• Discuss strategies for identifying and treating RED-S in the athletic population, utilizing a team healthcare approach.• Discuss prevention strategies to be implemented at home and on the playing field in the athletic population.

Treating Patients in Poverty: A Case Study Approach Zachary Rethorn, PT, DPTMany of the 8.8 million Americans who gained health insurance for the first time in 2015 are living in poverty. Are you prepared to treat them in your setting? An understanding of the systemic factors contributing to poverty and the negative influence of poverty on health conditions is needed for practitioners to effectively address these patients’ needs. This session will provide a comprehensive look at the personal and social challenges faced by people in poverty through the eyes of three patients utilizing a case study approach. Attendees will take away knowledge of the challenges faced by those in poverty, tools for screening for poverty, and strategies for better managing patients in this challenging and underserved population.Session Learning Objectives:

• Examine structural factors involved in the creation and maintenance of poverty• Understand the negative health effects of living in poverty• Articulate the need for screening for poverty in outpatient physical therapy settings• Identify tools for screening for poverty in outpatient physical therapy settings• Develop strategies for managing patients who live in poverty

Social Media for the Physical Therapy Professional Ryan Balmes, PT, DPT, OCS, SCS, FAAOMPT; Perry Brubaker, PT, DPTSocial Media has impacted nearly every sector and significantly changed the way we communicate. The use of social media has evolved from simply sharing personal events to one that alerts us to current news, recent published studies and even your conference happenings. Because of the rapid nature of which social media and how its content is shared, information is disseminated quickly and very effectively. Businesses and organizations see the value of social media platforms and are capitalizing on its effective way to inform their consumers and members. If you are overwhelmed by the use of social media and how it is being used as a communication tool for our profession this is the course for you. This course will be a social media primer for the physical therapy professional; inspiring the clinician to investigate the use of social media and how it has positively affected the profession as a whole.This course will discuss the various social media platforms and their use.

• One will understand each social media platform’s “culture” and ways of use.• The participate will understand common terminology associated with social media platforms.• The participate will understand how to use Twitter in a professional setting.• One will learn how social media can be used to enhance professional development and consumer and community outreach.

Vestibular Rehabilitation in Acute Care Britta Smith, PT, MMSc, DPTThis class will provide an overview of common vestibular diagnoses seen in the acute care setting and strategies to perform clinical assessments. Differentiation between causes of acute dizziness will be reviewed.

Optimizing Rehab Results Utilizing a “WELLNESS” Approach! Samuel Mielcarski, PT, DPT, PES; Herbert Silver, PT, DSc, MBA, OCSThis course will change the way therapists view “therapy” forever! The need for physical therapists to address wellness is at an all-time high. With the alarming rates of preventable diseases continuing to rise, coupled with the demand for physical therapists to become leaders in positively changing human health, therapists have a unique opportunity to utilize their professional skill set (and scope of practice) to make a real difference in both their local community, as well as globally. Wellness should not just be considered a “niche” within the physical therapy profession, but rather a mandate to provide overall quality care. This will be an interactive course with lecture and lab as wellness is something that needs to be experienced, not just heard or read about!Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify the physical therapist's important role in wellness, prevention, health promotion, and management of disease anddisability.

• Define wellness as it fits into the physical therapist's scope of practice and understand 'WHY' it is the cornerstone to effectiverehab outcomes.

• Identify at least 3 wellness competencies that physical therapists should be familiar with as it pertains to the physical therapyprofession.

• Identify at least 3 simple wellness strategies that can be implemented easily into patient care to help improve treatmentoutcomes.

• Learn at least 3 simple “tests and measures” to ensure your wellness interventions are working effectively and improving qualityof care.

Leading through Change and Innovation Janet Bezner, PT, DPT, PhD; Jennifer Green-Wilson, PT, MBA, EdD; Craig Moore, PT, MSRapid and chaotic change is occurring now in healthcare and it will continue! Evidence indicates that change demands leadership, innovation, and risk-taking. Yet often, as healthcare professionals with natural strengths including compassion, caring, empathy and sincerity, we’re risk-averse, become anxious when changes are explored and implemented, and work in environments that stifle creativity unintentionally. Healthcare practitioners can get “stuck” despite being surrounded by ongoing change and when this happens, decisions and responses can be short term and reactive. And unfortunately, healthcare lags behind in developing its own leadership ‘bench strength’ to ensure success in leading transformational change. So, the time is now for you to develop your own leadership capacity to ensure your ability to adapt and to have the courage to transform and advance clinical practice effectively. The purpose of this session is to demonstrate how you can lead change and use innovation as strategies to help you position your practice proactively for the long term. Essential skills needed for practitioners to develop a readiness for change and to be successful innovators will be discussed. Strategies to develop a culture of innovation that supports sustainable behavioral change will be reviewed. This session will be interactive and all participants will be encouraged to contribute throughout the program.Upon completion of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Discover how to get “unstuck” to embrace innovation and change.• Discuss models to assess individual and collective readiness for change in physical therapist practice.• Discuss essential skills needed for innovators to be successful.• Review strategies to develop a culture of innovation that supports sustainable behavioral change.• Identify personal leadership skills to enhance your effectiveness as champions of change.• Develop an innovation action plan.

INSIGHTful Lecture with Dr. Steve Wolf - FiRST and Foremost: A Look into our Future Steven Wolf, PT, PhD, FAHA, FAPTAThis presentation highlights the history and formulation of the Frontiers in Rehabilitation Science and Technology (FiRST) Initiative from its origins as a steering committee for the 2009 Physical Therapy and Society Summit (PASS) APTA program to its establishment as a Council (February 2016). Embedded in this presentation are concepts which have been deemed important for the future of physical therapy practice and implications for how preparation for absorbing such knowledge should impact our formal education. Several examples of such interventions will be provided. The intention here is not to offer an hour of lecture but to engage the audience with a proactive and constructive “give and take” as the Council moves forward to provide educational opportunities for APTA members. One offshoot from the initial efforts has been the creation of an “app” for stroke rehabilitation which will be demonstrated so that all participants can gain an appreciation for how the collective thought of many can produce products of value to the entire profession.Learning objectives for this session include:

• To understand the origin of the FiRST initiative• To define the present and emerging content areas for future consideration as areas in which the practice of physical therapy can

be both influenced and make contributions• To learn how available resources can be used by practicing therapists in an efficient and valued manner.

FOTO Emphasis on Outcomes Nikki Rasmussen-Hineman, PT, Cert. MDTImplementing a new product can be daunting. Getting staff and organization buy-in, informing your community, and sharing the information with your patients, providers, and payers can be uncertain and stressful. This workshop will first discuss ways to focus in and strategize as you undertake an implementation of a product into your practice. But then, after implementation, now what? Part two will discuss the importance of understanding your data and using that data. Mentoring, learning from the data, and using it in marketing can be key in thriving in practice. Keeping patients satisfied and engaged, navigating paths with other organizations, and showing referral sources how your patients and staff succeed is essential to thriving in the current healthcare environment. Your outcomes tool is a goldmine of information in growth and development.

• Understand the importance of an outcomes tool in your practice.• Recognize the need for risk adjustment in the use of outcomes tools• Learn ways to strategize and prepare for a great launch of the outcomes assessment tool• Identify several methods to use data in marketing, engagement, and education of the community and providers

Steven Wolf, PT, PhD, FAHA, FAPTA Presenting INSIGHTful Lecture: FiRST and Foremost: A Look Into Our FutureMember of PTAGDr. Wolf explores novel interventions to improve extremity use in patients with stroke as well as mechanisms of cortical reorganization and inter-joint coordination associated with such changes. Within the past 23 years Dr. Wolf has led several NIH funded clinical trials governing this concept. More recently, his lab has been emphasizing clinical measures of neural plasticity for interventions designed to improve posture in older adults or stroke survivors as well as to improve limb function in the latter group through the addition of electrophysiological (including TMS) and imaging studies. Their newest studies involve use of robotics and mixed reality, both of which have telerehabilitation capabilities and are directed toward home-based treatment post-stroke. Their present NINDS ICARE RCT explores a novel intervention for upper extremity recovery in acute stroke survivors. Recently their stroke studies have also included obtaining buccal swaps to identify a polymorphism for brain derived nerve growth factor so that they can determine if a relationship exists between the presence of the polymorphism and limitations in reacquisition of motor function. They also study changes in upper extremity movement following stroke using home base robotic and telerehabilitation interfaces that complement their mixed reality studies. While their studies with stroke survivors have addressed primarily efforts to improve motoric function within the upper extremity, they have also done extensive work in monitoring lower extremity muscle activity to determine the extent to which selective feedback can enhance ambulation amongst stroke survivors.
