Oncology Symposium
Description: Join us for the 2023 Oncology Symposium, focused on blending two primary initiatices in the oncology rehabilitation field: Primary prevention of cancer and management of adverse effects of cancer treatment. The morning session will highlight key components of the role of PT, OT, and nursing in cancer prevention, with our featured keynote speaker, Deb Doherty, PT, PhD. Interactive, roundtable discussions will feature evidence-based advances in pediatric oncology, breast cancer, pelvic health, head and neck cancer, and lymphedema management. Afternoon sessions will concentrate on the latest evidence surrounding management of adverse effects of cancer treatment, featuring an interdisciplinary approach to cancer-related-fatigue. The Michigan Cancer Consortium and other key organizations will be represented during break and lunch times for this multi-disciplinary event. Mark your calendars today!

APTA Geriatrics
Description: All PTs with the CEEAA® credential will demonstrate expert clinical decision-making skills in:
(1) Designing and applying an effective examination and exercise prescription; and
(2) Measuring the effectiveness and reflecting the current evidence of exercise for all ageing adults.
Evidence for the benefits of effective exercise programs for the full spectrum of aging adults is overwhelmingly positive. The unique role of the physical therapist in providing these programs is unequivocal. Further education can enhance the ability of physical therapists to incorporate evidence into practice in order to appropriately examine and provide the quality of exercise that will yield optimal benefits for the aging adult. The Academy of Geriatric Physical Therapy, in adopting the position that physical therapists should be the exercise experts for aging adults, is a leader in providing physical therapists with a mechanism to develop and demonstrate expertise in the
design and delivery of effective exercise programs for aging adults.
The process to attain the credential of CEEAA® is to complete formal didactic education and to participate in supervised and mentored skills development, home-based reflection and critical thinking. Three courses of two days each will address evidence-based examination and different and increasingly complex aspects of exercise design and delivery. The three courses are designed to build on each other.

ACL Injuries, Rehab, and Return to Sports Considerations
Description: Despite significant surgical advancements and effort paid to ACL-injured patients, rates of secondary ACL injury remain high in athletic populations. This course is a comprehensive summary of the current state of ACL injuries and post-ACLR care. The primary focus is to consider how ACL anatomy, healing after ACLR, assessment of physical strength and function,
and known injury mechanisms can be utilized in order to make the best determination of readiness to return to sport. This course is appropriate for PTs, PTAs, and ATCs who manage care and advise on activity clearance for these patients after surgery. Through the material covered in the course, attendees will have a thorough understanding on managing the postACLR athlete through a structured protocol of exercise and training towards criteria-based functional tests in order to minimize risk for secondary ACL injury.

World of Hurt: A Guide to Classifying and Treating Pain
Description: This two-day live interactive webinar introduces information critical to the assessment and treatment of patients with acute, sub-acute and chronic pain. Utilizing pain science research regarding pain mechanisms this webinar teaches pain clinicians how to classify and treat pain as it relates to the peripheral and central nervous system. A Pain Mechanism Classification System (PMCS) will be introduced and then guide selection of patient education and active care interventions for each pain mechanism. The PMCS demonstrated through video and paper case studies will aid application to pain clinicians’ practice. This webinar highlights a subgrouping framework, PMCS, which addresses pain throughout the continuum from acute, subacute and chronic stages covering chemical, structural, mechanical, cognitive, emotional, social, psychological and cortical mechanisms. This webinar integrates pain science research into a biopsychosocial approach with practical application for patient education and active care interventions. Promoting a common language between pain clinicians of all disciplines and patients. Included in this webinar, the brief application of peripheral nervous system neurodynamic evaluation, treatment, and central nervous system sensory and motor evaluation, patient rated outcome measures and psychometric tools outlined by dominant pain mechanism. The PMCS patient education and active care interventions support all patient ages and musculoskeletal to neurological diagnoses suffering from pain.

World of Hurt: “Foods” A Non-Pharmacy Intervention for Pain and Chronic Illness
Description: If you have ever suspected that not everyone should eat the same thing or do the same exercise, you are right! In fact, what food we absorb well and how our bodies handle stress differs in phases of healing and wellness. Your stage of inflammation, recovery and wellness reflect your internal chemistry. It is the key that unlocks the mysteries of disease, pain, longevity, fitness, emotional strength, and how we heal. The food you eat determines your susceptibility to illness and prevents the most troubling health diseases. Foods are the most frequently introduced chemicals to the body and considered an intervention for pain and disease. Recent ongoing literature suggests a non-pharmacy intervention for pain and disease, in the area of healthy eating including a whole food plant-based diet. The “Root Cause” to the inflammatory cascade and immune system stress response identified within the foods people select can be the missing link to sustained benefits from pain and remission for chronic illness. The World of Hurt “Foods” course will introduce an eclectic scientific based framework involving the four blood types O, A, B, and AB, ketogenic diets, and whole food plant-based eating to individualize food selection for healthy immune systems. In addition, fundamental protocols for the liver, adrenal glands, thyroid and gut to promote a healthy immune system will be discussed. This one-day course will fine tune clinical reasoning for the selection of foods as a nonpharmacy intervention for pain, chronic illness and disease.

World of Hurt: Central Nervous System Pain Mechanisms
Description: This two-day live interactive webinar focuses on the assessment and treatment of patients dominated by Central Nervous System (CNS) Pain Mechanisms. The webinar will aid the classification of CNS pain mechanisms into Central Sensitivity, Affective and Motor / Autonomic subgroups integrating clinical experience and scientific literature for Cognitive Behavior Techniques (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) in these CNS subgroups. This webinar will present specific pain science education topics, specific functional exercise prescriptions for each CNS mechanism. Outlining Chapter Six, Seven & Eight of “A World of Hurt: A Guide to Classifying Pain”, pain clinicians will learn how to assess subjective and objective characteristics unique to Central Sensitivity, Affective and Motor / Autonomic pain mechanisms. Incorporating psychometric measures, outcome measures, readiness questionnaire, CNS sensory and motor evaluations will bring more specificity to the classification of the dominant CNS mechanism. This webinar outlines interventions of pain science education, motivational interviewing strategies, prescribed graded exposure to functional return and sensorimotor retraining for each CNS pain mechanism. Video/paper cases and guided self-practice sessions will demonstrate the importance of the “words” and “moves” necessary to reverse CNS pain mechanisms. Interactive demonstrations and opportunities to participate in discussions and ask questions as if participants were in the same room will be provided for this live webinar.
