She is currently a PT Instructor Candidate for the NDT Association.Course Description: Clinicians constantly hear the term "functional" thrown about in clinical settings surrounding neuromotor disorder. This is a basket term for a wide range of impairments and limitations but our clients recovering from CNS injury require very specific and individualized care. Movement necessary for one individual to be able to perform may not have the same value to another. In that same frame of thinking, what drives neuroplasticity for one individual may not have the same effect on another. This course outlines the International Classification of Function and current neuroplasticity principles to help the clinician clarify the client's movement goal and then individualize treatment to meet that goal. This process not only boosts confidence in meeting client's objectives, it illustrates the value of physical therapy to third party payers. Class structure is dynamic with segments of lecture followed by lab application and small group problem solving.Why Early Mobility in the ICU?Presenter: Elena Murphy: Elena is from New Orleans, LA.
