About this course:
This intermediate level course for PT/PTAs and OT/OTAs on patterned electrical neuromuscular stimulation (PENS) is part of a series of Accelerated Clinical Practice courses. Through a didactic lecture and lab demonstration, this course provides the attention necessary to achieve proficiency in the use and application of functional and neuro re-education PENS to muscles in the Lower Quadrant. The course includes a review of literature regarding muscle activation, physiology research, and functional outcomes associated with PENS applications. Additionally, the course covers the impact of PENS on physiological impairments and how it contributes to improved patient participation, activity, and functional performance.

Frailty Series - Frailty Overview
Frailty is a geriatric syndrome which leads to increased vulnerability to stressors, affects overall health and quality of life, and limits functional mobility and ADL/IADL. Clinical Practice Guidelines recommend interdisciplinary team management to prevent or reverse frailty. Incorporating frailty interventions and leveraging existing evidence-based strategies will facilitate optimal outcomes for residents with frailty. This course provides a review of frailty definitions, risk factors, pathophysiology, screening and assessment tools, and emphasizes the relationship between frailty and other geriatric syndromes and chronic diseases.
