J.J. Mowder-Tinney PT,
MS, NCS, CWS is a nationwide lecturer for Cross Country University.
She performs a one day lecture on Treatment of Individuals with
Neurological Dysfunction: From Assessment to Goal Formation for
Physical and Occupational Therapists. This comprehensive
seminar will teach you the importance of every aspect of a
neurological evaluation. You will assess sensory, cognitive, motor
and perceptual impairments that result in functional limitations and
be given treatment ideas in each area. You will practice normal
movement analysis and improve your assessment ability to determine
your treatment prioritization. A variety of treatment techniques
will be discussed. You will also be given examples of functional
goals for a variety of settings as well as actively discuss some of
the latest research being performed in the neurological realm.
What You Will Learn at that
course:
- Understand the disablement model
- The importance of a thorough neurological evaluation
- What role to play in evidence-based practice
- How to develop treatment plans from your patients' impairments
- How to write functional and measurable goals to assist in
reimbursement in
the outpatient setting
- Understand different treatment options and when to choose each one
