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 combination of 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 Upper 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.

Evidenced Based Practice in Dysphagia Rehabilitation
This one and one-half hours intermediate level course for SLPs on evidence-based practice and evolution in swallowing rehabilitation is part of a series of Accelerated Clinical Practice courses. It reviews what is “usual care”, neuroplasticity and skill-based therapy approaches, strength exercise training, and bolus selection to integrate these components as part of a comprehensive dysphagia rehabilitation program.

This one-hour intermediate level course for PT/PTAs and OT/OTAs is part of a series of Accelerated Clinical Practice courses. Motor learning in neurorehabilitation leverages the effects of neuroplasticity for the acquisition and modification of movement. Task-specific practice within motor learning should be focused primarily at the activity/participation levels to support function and improve occupational performance. This course reviews motor learning mechanisms, with a focus on incorporating knowledge of performance, knowledge of results, use-dependent learning, and sensorimotor adaptation into task practice. There is additional emphasis on clinical strategies for the foundational principles of neuroplasticity. The course includes case studies with sample application of task practice using motor learning to reinforce the course content and support the therapist’s critical thinking.
