About the Course:

The ability to walk is one of the most important goals in

stroke rehabilitation. Treadmill training and Circuit Class

Therapy (CCT) are both simple yet effective methods to

improve walking ability of stroke patients. Treadmill training

has been shown to be able to restore patients’ functional

mobility more effectively than conventional rehabilitation

care. CCT has been proven to be able to increase intensity

of rehabilitation therapy patients receive in hospitals or

rehabilitation facilities. Furthermore, studies have also

suggested that CCT is a potentially effective method which

saves costs to the health care system by reducing staff-to-

patient ratios.

This workshop aims to equip participants with the

necessary knowledge and practical strategies to carry out

treadmill training and CCT in their work settings.

Physiotherapists working in stroke rehabilitation will benefit

from this workshop. The knowledge and practical skills will

also be applicable for therapists working in other

rehabilitation areas such as neurological or geriatric

rehabilitation.

Duration:

1-day Workshop

Target Audience:

Physiotherapists who are working with stroke patients in

sub-acute, community hospital, day rehabilitation centre

and nursing home are welcomed to join us in this

About the Course:

This workshop will focus on clinically informative

psycholinguistic models and impairment-based therapies.

The fundamental components and principles of these

models will be highlighted so that clinicians can more

precisely define processing breakdowns to identify specific,

targeted interventions that optimize treatment outcomes.

Efficient assessment practices will be outlined, and five

specific therapies will be addressed in terms of their

processing characteristics, treatment parameters, and

some of the practicalities related to devising and

implementing treatment for individual clients. The five

therapies are:

Semantic Therapy

Cued Naming Therapy

Phonological Therapies

Segmentation Therapy

Mapping Therapy

Duration:

1-day Workshop

Target Audience:

Speech pathologists who work with adults with Acquired

Aphasia are welcomed to join us in this workshop.

About the Course:

Dementia represents a major public health concern in

Singapore and worldwide. It diminishes a person's ability to

take care of oneself and causes problems with planning

and behaviour posing greater challenges in elderly care.

Being the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease,

dementia is expected to affect 55,000 patients in Singapore

by the year 2020. It is crucial for healthcare professionals to

equip themselves with the knowledge of holistic and optimal

care in dementia.

This one-day workshop aims to impart participants with the

skills and knowledge in dementia related management for

clients ranging from mild cognitive impairment to severe

dementia. This workshop also covers topics integral to the

holistic dementia care and functional management

including occupational engagement, cognitive stimulation,

group therapy planning and environmental modification. At

the end of the course, participants will learn about the

various challenges in managing this special group of clients

and the different functional strategies that can be adopted.

Y Aging With Grace - An IT Functional Approach

23 JULY 2015

About the Course:

Ageing is a complex process. Healthy aging is more than

the absence of disease and disability. It encompasses

physical and cognitive functioning and subsequently,

engagement in social and productive activities - adding

quality life to the years. Computer technology, assistive

technology and computer-based communication can have

a positive impact on elderly people and society – increasing

their sense of independence and involvement, providing

opportunities to engage in different social communities,

which in turn results in an increase in life satisfaction.

This one-day workshop focuses on the issues and

challenges the elderly face during the aging process in this

technology-driven era. In addition, participants will be

empowered with skills to plan and conduct treatment

sessions for their elderly clients, using up-to-date

technology in their respective centres. This course aims to

equip participants with knowledge and practical skills on

how to enable this unique population to use IT solutions

and modern technology to remain engaged in meaningful

roles and occupations.

Education and Graduated Return to ADL

SEPTEMBER 2015

About the Course:

Evidenced guidelines have advocated assurance,

education and graduated resumption of daily activities as

the more ideal physiotherapy management for acute low

back pain. However, when reasoned well and instituted

timely, other interventions like manual therapy,

neurodynamic mobilisation and specific exercises could

complement well with education and return to daily

activities. This workshop will focus on succinct patient

examination and targeted treatments that can hasten

pain reduction and mobilization back to daily activities.

Duration:

Falls Assessment, Management and Prevention in

Older Adults in Primary and Community Settings

avoidance of daily activities, social isolation, reduced

quality of life and can precipitate a move to nursing home.

This workshop aims to provide participants with up-to-

date knowledge on how to effectively manage falls and

balance impairments in older adults in primary care and

community. There will be practical sessions, interactive

case studies and discussions to apply learned

knowledge and skills, as well as to promote problem-

based learning among participants.

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation

NOVEMBER 2015

About the Course:

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) utilizes

education recommends its use in the rehabilitation of

selected patients with neurological conditions. It is

therefore a common adjunct utilized in neurological

physiotherapy management.

This lecture will educate participants on the mechanism

behind the benefits afforded by NMES in neurological

patient management. Knowledge on the indications and

precautions and guidelines on application will be

discussed.

A practical session will engage participants in the hands-

on application of NMES on each other, allowing practice

of parameter adjustment and electrode placement.

Duration:

Move The Way We Are Designed To!

The Natural Movement Workshop

NOVEMBER 2015

About the Course:

Humans are not made to live within the modern concrete

practical movements skills have been lost due to our

sedentary lifestyle. These movement skills include

crawling balancing, jumping, running and squatting.

Participants will be taught how to assess and select

appropriate dosage of exercise tailored for individuals.

Learning these practical movement skills would increase

understanding of natural movement and increase

treatment repertoire for practitioners. Full participation is

required during this workshop, so get ready to move.
