An opportunity existed to improve the functional outcomes and
decrease the length of stay of patients admitted to the surgical
and medical ICUs of a 900-bed urban teaching hospital by
providing an early and intensive rehabilitation intervention. The
speakers will discuss a project was to investigate improvement
in functional outcomes, decreased length of stay, and improved
satisfaction of all customers. The inclusion criteria were that
the patient was medically stable as per the ICU team, conscious
and able to participate, able to perform ADLs and walk prior to
admission, and on a ventilator for over 2 days. Patients were given
the opportunity to receive up to 1 hour of physical therapy and 1
hour of occupational therapy 5 days a week. Discharge criteria
from the project were: patient refusal to participate, medical hold
> 48 hours (as discussed with team), and no progress towards
goals after 4 sessions. Outcome measures that were collected
were an AlphaFIM® functional outcome measure performed at
initial evaluation and on the day of discharge from rehab services
by OT service, feet ambulated at discharge by PT service, ICU and
total hospital length of stay, and predicted discharge disposition at
initial evaluation and final discharge disposition.

Rehabilitation interventions for critically ill patients in the ICU are
associated with many beneficial outcomes, including decreased
days of mechanical ventilation, decreased ICU and hospital lengths
of stay, decreased episodes of delirium, and improved short- and
long-term physical function and quality life. With the growing
recognition of the importance of rehabilitation interventions for
patients in the ICU, there is an increasing demand for critical care
rehabilitation programs. Physical therapists are central members
of critical care rehabilitation teams, and as more programs are
instituted there is an increased demand for physical therapists

incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with water jet
perturbations to enhance postural stability and functional capacity
in persons diagnosed with osteoarthritis. This session will document
the relative merits of using HIIT plus water jet perturbations,
compare and contrast methods to increase exercise intensity in
orthopedically-limited patients with osteoarthritis, and provide
evidence that questions to what extent the water environment
provides a more stable environment for these patients to improve
postural stability and functional outcomes on land. Discussion will
also include issues related to exercise adherence and perceived
exertions during HIIT and postural disturbances.

The American Physical Therapy Association’s latest brand research
revealed that some respondents view physical therapists as
“heroes”—the figurative “white hats” in health care who offer a
return to an active, productive life after injury or disease. However,
policy makers are questioning the importance of the patient
outcomes achieved from physical therapist services relative to
the increased costs incurred over the last decade. Several studies
specific to physical therapist practice also suggest potential gaps in
quality. Maintaining relevance in a transformed health care system
requires the physical therapy profession to clearly articulate and
consistently demonstrate its value proposition. We cannot rely on
our positive image alone to differentiate us as superior providers.
This 15th Linda Crane Memorial Lecture will describe the journey
physical therapists and physical therapist assistants must take to
create the substance of our true value and realize our vision for the
profession and society.

Speakers: W. Darren Hammond, PT, CWS, Tricia Garven, PT, MPT, ATP
In pressure ulcer management, physicians, nurses, and
therapists often consider management strategies prior to a
complete assessment and investigation into the actual cause
of a pressure ulcer. Typically, topical dressings are considered,
advanced modalities may be chosen, and bed support surfaces
are investigated; however, consideration into the management of
the extrinsic risks, including a full seating assessment of a client
with a sitting-acquired pressure ulcer is commonly overlooked.
Too few clinicians have the combination of complex rehabilitation
and wound care experience to conduct an extensive seating
assessment. This session will revolve around the goals of a proper
seating system and how it can lessen a client’s risk for pressure
ulcer formation and how it may provide effective options if a

Physical therapists in academia often find themselves challenged
by ethical and legal quandaries in their administrative, faculty, or
advisor roles. The issues become more complex with even higher
stake outcomes involving the clinical site. This highly interactive
session, using an audience response system as well as casebased discussion, will focus on the complexities of making tough
choices about difficult situations in the academic and clinical
environment. Cases will be discussed that challenge participants
to exhibit moral potency: the ability to move beyond recognition of
a legal or ethical situation to considering options and taking action
that benefits students, faculty, clinical sites, and the profession
overall. Consider that highly valued clinical site that is clearly doing
something unethical or illegal. Or those 2 great students in their
last year with an academic integrity issue. What about the student
asked to document incorrectly to benefit the patient, or cover the
practice for a few hours. What about the student who uncovers
questionable research activities in a respected faculty lab. How do
we all strengthen our profession by not only knowing what is right,
but ultimately doing what is right?

Sound debriefing is the key piece to participant learning that
occurs through uncovering and shaping decision frameworks. Good
judgment debriefing is a structured debriefing approach that is
designed to reveal decision frameworks that direct the learner’s
performance and are revealed through curiously questioning the
learner on their simulation performance. For effective debriefing
to occur, simulation experiences must be intentionally designed

Clinical informatics is already utilized in large health care delivery
systems and by government entities as a tool to create efficiencies
and facilitate clinical decision making. Driven by health care
reform and innovations in technology, an ideal opportunity exists
to introduce and apply the concept of clinical informatics in the
classroom and the clinical education experience. The importance
of data cannot be underestimated and can be easily understood
by students within the framework of clinical and financial risk
management and quality improvement. This course will introduce
the concept of clinical informatics, the industry drivers, and its
current use in health care delivery. The presenters will offer an
innovative model of teaching clinical informatics in the classroom
and how it can be woven into a student’s clinical education
experience. The speakers also will discuss current curriculum
design and opportunities for incorporating this content into existing
courses, internships, and postgraduate experiences. Based on the
presentation and discussion, attendees will complete a customized
tool for integrating clinical informatics into their own curriculum.
It is highly recommended that academic and clinical education
instructor partners attend this session together, as there will be
opportunities to develop collaborative pilot projects.

In October 2012, students from Indiana University (IU) and
University of Indianapolis (UIndy) Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT)
programs developed a partnership with the IU Student Outreach
Clinic (IU-SOC) to provide pro bono physical therapy services in
an underserved metropolitan community in Indianapolis facing
economic and social hardships. The IU-SOC began 4 years ago
when IU School of Medicine students collaborated with the
Neighborhood Fellowship Church to address the community’s
health and wellness needs. Physical therapy joins a range
of interdisciplinary, student-run services offered through the
IU-SOC, including programs through IU schools of medicine, law,
26
social work, and dentistry, and the Butler University Department
of Pharmacy. The IU-SOC has created experiential learning
opportunities for students to improve the community’s health
through interprofessional education and practice (IPEP). The clinic
provides students with the unique opportunity to practice patient
care skills, establish mentor/mentee relationships with student
colleagues, develop an appreciation of professional responsibilities,
and communicate with other health care disciplines. This session
will focus on the development and implementation of the physical
therapy students’ mission and describe practices to enhance IPEP,
collaboration, sustainability, and efficiency. Outcomes specific
to patient care, student learning, and future directions will be
discussed.

Rigor and relevance are buzzwords within educational settings.
Rigor refers to the ability of a student to demonstrate in-depth
mastery of a challenging task and exhibiting a higher quality
of thinking rather than regurgitating parameters or protocols.
Relevance provides context to a student’s knowledge through
real-world scenarios in a variety of platforms. The rigor and
relevance framework has translated well into most DPT and
PTA curriculum content, but instructors continue to investigate
innovative and effective strategies for therapeutic technology or
“modalities” training. The deficiency of rigor and relevance in
modality education may be responsible for improper, ineffective,
or unskilled clinical practices involving physical agents and/or
electrotherapy. The speakers will discuss the University of Kansas
Medical Center’s efforts to increase the rigor and relevance of its
therapeutic technology curriculum through a simulated electronic
health system for patient scenarios, peer evaluations, social media
outlets such as blogs and YouTube channels, iPad and web-based
applications that enhance the learning experience, and shared
learning experiences between DPT and PTA students. This session
will translate the effectiveness of these academic efforts into
measurable clinical performance outcomes that can be useful for
academic faculty, clinical instructors, and clinicians.

Virtual reality (VR) systems combine hardware, software, and
human-computer interface technologies to promote interaction
with simulated “virtual” environments. This presentation will
highlight clinical cases and empirical results from VR-based
rehabilitations programs at 4 military treatment and clinical
research facilities. These facilities utilize VR systems ranging from
low-cost, video gaming consoles to expensive, fully-immersive
platforms like the Computer-Assisted Rehabilitation Environment
(CAREN). VR-based assessment batteries and treatment
interventions strive to implement ecologically-valid tasks to identify
functional deficits and facilitate reintegration to active duty or
civilian life. Results from these VR-based rehabilitation programs
suggest that: (1) assessment metrics are reliable and can assess
multiple domains simultaneously; (2) service members following
traumatic brain injury , amputation, and severe limb trauma
demonstrate significant increases in function with VR treatments;
(3) VR performance is reflective of performance in the real world;
and (4) VR interventions fill gaps in and positively supplement
conventional rehabilitation programs. These VR assessments and
treatments are based on well-established therapeutic techniques
and demonstrate efficacy with multiple patient populations.
VR-based rehabilitation tools are accessible to clinicians and can
be customized to promote functional interactions with realistic,
challenging environments while maintaining full safeties and
controls.

Addressing seating and mobility with the geriatric patient is unique.
Patients in this population present with a multitude of complex, agerelated medical issues. In addition, many geriatric patients present
with a variety of diagnoses, comorbidities, and the use of numerous
medications. The treatment of the geriatric patient referred to therapy,
for “wheelchair positioning,” often consists of the assessment
of current seating system and the provision of new or additional
equipment. But there is so much more. This session will shift the
focus from the equipment to the patient. Discussion will begin with
importance of the interdisciplinary team approach to seating and
mobility. Commonly seen postural deviations, underlying impairments,
and functional deficits impacting the geriatric patient will be
addressed in detail. Key components of the evaluation, including
the mat assessment, will be reviewed. of the speaker will analyze

indicator of risk of functional decline in older adults and will challenge
participants to “name that walking speed” using videos of older

will discuss problems in the management of Dupuytren disease.
Current interventions for chronic Dupuytren finger contractures
include needle aponeurectomy, collagenase injections, and palmar
fasciectomy. The inherent goal of each procedure is to permit full
digital mobility. Patients want versatility in their flexion range to
be able to grip around objects of variable sizes; alternatively, they
need extension to reach in their pockets, apply gloves, or even
wash their face. The metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint, relieved of
contracted tissue, offers this mobility almost immediately, while
the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint does not. The problems
associated with the PIP joint post intervention will be discussed,

Regardless of practice setting, physical therapists (PTs) face
daily clinical and administrative demands. Additionally, patients
seeking care bring a variety of their own issues to the treatment
encounter. Compassion is a fundamental behavior outlined in the
APTA Code of Ethics and one of our professional core values. But
what happens when we become fatigued in our compassionate
care when delivering services? Compassion fatigue (CF) refers to
the behavioral, cognitive, and psychological changes caregivers
experience when dealing with patients or clients. CF has been
studied in other health care professions, but little is known about
its impact on PTs. If undetected, CF can lead to self-destructive
behaviors or career changes. In today’s environment of health care
reform, increased productivity demands, and pay-for-performance
models, PTs may experience some degree of CF regardless of
their practice setting and may not even be aware of it. The ability
to recognize the signs and symptoms of CF is the first step in
the healing process. Can we predict those clinicians who are at
risk for CF? How do we best assist PTs who are experiencing
CF? This session will focus on the body’s response, stages, and
30

Transfer of learning occurs when learning in one context enhances
or undermines a related performance in another context. Crucial
to patient education, transfer includes near transfer (to closely
related contexts and performances) and far transfer (to rather
different contexts and performances). This session will show how
PTs can engage the processes of transfer of learning to further
enhance their outcomes and value within the health care spectrum.
One of the core functions that every member of the ACO’s care
coordination team strives to improve on the goal of patient
education is to more effectively engage patients in managing
their own health. PTs in all settings can demonstrate their value
to ACOs by accentuating this skill. Research shows that engaging
patients in their care, teaching about goals and helping them to
meet those goals, educating those with chronic conditions about
the importance of a follow-up plan once discharged, helping them
understand their plan of care, and being aware of what to look
for when they have a chronic disease can all significantly reduce
unplanned health care system readmissions. This course will
demonstrate important skills in the area of patient education and
wellness coaching as a result of enhanced transfer of learning.

Bullying in the health care workplace has become a frequent
occurrence, but it is often not well reported by employees nor
consistently recognized and appropriately addressed by employees
and managers alike. Physical therapists are not immune and
experience bullying by superiors, peers, and subordinates.
Unfortunately, there is a paucity of literature documenting bullying
in physical therapy specifically; however, there is a plethora of
information in the nursing and health care literature that can inform
managers of rehabilitation teams about this rampant problem.
Bullying can be destructive on many levels and can result ultimately
in a compromise of patient safety. Health care professionals may
engage in bullying behavior for a variety of reasons. This session
will assist employees and managers alike in identifying behaviors
that constitute workplace bullying. Attendees will learn strategies
to address and minimize, if not alleviate, workplace bullying at the

Total hip and knee joint replacements performed at an outpatient
surgery center. Patients are discharged home 3-4 hours
after surgery. In their home, patients receive skilled nursing
and physical therapy that same day (Day 0), just hours after
undergoing surgery.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has
been slashing reimbursement to the home health industry at an
alarming rate. Agencies looking to be more efficient with less
money may look to reduce orientation programs to minimal
levels. However, doing this has a great likelihood of sacrificing
patient safety, patient outcomes (OASIS), and patient experience
(HHCAHPS). Looking ahead to the value-based purchasing
reimbursement model, CMS is looking for efficiency and
improvement in quality simultaneously. CMS is seeking better
outcomes in fewer visits. This course will provide the tools to
create an effective and efficient orientation program that would:
interweave competency into an interdisciplinary orientation
program, leading to a shortened orientation period; have new
staff working autonomously and collaboratively; and ensure best
practice sooner than later. Attendees will learn the necessary skills
to define core competency and create an effective and efficient
competency program meeting regulations and will understand the
benefits of developing a continuing education program and student
program that may retain and recruit staff. Industry leaders will
explain how to establish a new graduate mentorship program that

This presentation gives clinicians various dilemmas of finding
the cause of falls not easily predicted by neuromusculoskeletal
deficits. The unpredictable fall is not necessarily a mystery. Careful
but basic watch over the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems
can provide valuable information, a foundation for simple patient
education, and basis for urgent versus “FYI” communications.
This course offers an insight into the terms “new and unusual”
and “reportable symptoms.” The role of the PT with common
cardiovascular and pulmonary medication practices is presented to
assist in communicating to physician offices.

independence. This course will address challenges that a person
with spinal cord injury may face post rehabilitation and as a result
of aging with a disability. When complications from overuse injuries

The Parkinson disease EDGE Task Force was appointed by the
Neurology Section of APTA to develop recommendations for the
use of outcome measures in individuals with Parkinson disease
(PD). An 8-member task force reviewed outcome measures across
the ICF continuum covering body structure/function, activities, and
participation that would reasonably be used by physical therapists.
Recommendations were derived through a synthesis of factors,
including the outcome measure psychometric properties, the
clinical utility of the measure, and literature demonstrating validity
of each measure in individuals with PD. This presentation will
provide recommendations for use of outcome measures across the
spectrum of disease severity and across clinical, academic, and

Walking dysfunction is one of the most disabling and persistent
activity limitations. Physical therapists are challenged to provide
effective interventions to help patients recover optimal walking
skill after injury to the nervous system. The recovery of walking
ability following stroke, for example, is a complex process including
but not limited to spontaneous neural recovery, experiencedependent plasticity, patient preferences and motivation, as well
as physical capacity. As such, a one-size-fits-all approach to
walking intervention does not have enough resolution to determine
walking recovery for each individual patient with much fidelity.
Given the changing and unstable nature of health care delivery
for neurorehabilitation, physical therapists need to be able to
both predict individuals’ responsiveness to a specific intervention
and recognize how to use the 3 approaches in a complimentary
fashion. Recently a paradigm shift in clinical research from “does it
work?” to a prevailing understanding of “how, why, and for whom
can it work?” has been encouraged. This session will explore 4
distinct approaches to gait training in individuals with stroke. The
underlying mechanism and/or construct associated with each
approach will be described. Through videotape vignettes of patients,
characteristics will be determined that will establish patients as
responders or nonresponders for a specific gait intervention.

The Mayo Clinic Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Stroke
Standardization Project was developed in the hope of promoting
evidenced-based practice in neurorehabilitation for all patients
with stroke diagnosis, inpatient and outpatient, across all providers.
An interdisciplinary team (including physical therapy, occupational
therapy, speech therapy, physiatry, neuropsychology, and recreation
therapy) was formed to critically evaluate stroke outcome measures
within the ICF categories of body structures/function, activities,
and participation for use in acute rehabilitation and across the
continuum of care. APTA Stroke EDGE Task Force recommendations
were analyzed, and a critical review of psychometrics and clinical
utility was completed on outcome measures not reviewed by the
Stroke EDGE Task Force. This presentation will discuss the process
of creating a standardized interdisciplinary outcome measure core

Falls are a hot topic driving many national policies around where to

positioned to be the “go-to” provider for fall risk management.
Consequently, we must ensure that we are able to address fall risk
adequately. A prior session, “Everyone is Talking About Falls--Are

community resources and programs, and opportunities to organize
and market fall prevention efforts. This session will identify and
differentiate the specific tools utilized to address balance and fall
risk, evaluate those with impaired balance, and guide intervention
in these cases. Through lecture, case presentations, and panel
discussion, the following questions will be answered: When should
you use a screening versus assessment versus outcome measure?
What contributes to the reliability and validity of these tools? Which
ones are appropriate for patients with a specific diagnosis? How do
we apply them to the evaluation and treatment of our patients?

This session will examine how PTs manage patients who present
with acute vestibular syndromes in settings such as the emergency
department, acute care hospital, and inpatient rehabilitation. As
autonomous practitioners, clinicians in acute care settings must be
prepared to provide accurate and efficient management in a timesensitive manner. This includes developing a differential diagnosis,
making appropriate medical referrals, initiating effective vestibular
and balance rehabilitation, and recommending follow-up across
the continuum of care. The session will begin with a discussion of
the role of physical therapy in acute care management of patients
with vestibular disorders, including effective and efficient bedside
examination of the patient with acute vestibular syndromes whose
symptoms are often severe and rapidly changing. Three clinical experts
will then present case studies and discuss clinical reasoning and
decisions used to examine and provide interventions to individuals

Cancers of the head and neck make up 3%–5% of all cancers
diagnosed in the United States, and the 5-year survival rates
vary widely (30%–94%) depending on the specific site. Although
prevalence rates for head and neck cancer related to tobacco and
alcohol use are decreasing, rates are increasing for HPV-related
cancers. Medical management of head and neck cancer may
include a combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy
treatments that can result in a multitude of impairments in
body function and structure, including disfigurement, trismus,
shoulder dysfunction, pain, radiation fibrosis, lymphedema,
and deconditioning. These impairments result in lasting activity
limitations, participation restrictions, and disability. The physical
therapist plays a vital role during cancer treatments and into
survivorship. This session will provide information on current
medical management strategies for cancers of the head and neck,
describe the physical therapist’s role in the multidisciplinary team,
and discuss the best available evidence for the evaluation and

This 90-minute talk will focus on age-related considerations
impacting clinical decision making by physical therapists for male
and female geriatric patients diagnosed with breast cancer in the
US and around the world.
The University of Pennsylvania Health System, in partnership with
Good Shepherd Penn Partners, established a lymphedema program
in the late 1990s that has grown to be one of the largest in the
country. Over 15 therapists provide lymphedema services within a
network of 11 outpatient therapy practices and 3 inpatient settings.
As a National Cancer Institute–designated treatment center, the
rehabilitation needs of our patients are complex and include a large
proportion of patients with head and neck cancer/lymphedema,
genital lymphedema, and malignant lymphedemas. Entry-level
clinicians are rarely exposed to the oncologic or lymphedema
populations, and even experienced lymphedema therapists lack the
experience in advanced topics in lymphedema necessary to treat
these complex patients. To ensure our PTs possess the skills and
capability to provide safe and effective care to patients with complex
lymphedema, we have established a competency-based mentorship
program for advanced lymphedema practice. Session attendees
will learn how to identify the basic and advanced skills necessary
for lymphedema practice, develop a competency-based mentorship
program, and apply strategies for ongoing competency and staff

conditions must be met. First, the patient must be able to perform

The thorax encompasses all of the articulations between the
thoracic vertebra, ribs, and sternum, as well as the attaching
muscles. In human back pain literature, the musculoskeletal
components of the thorax have received little attention. A
biomechanical approach to the treatment of the thorax will require
an understanding of its normal characteristics. If optimal function
of the thorax is understood, then this knowledge can be applied
to the examination of the painful thorax. Treatment of the thorax
incorporates an integrated model of function, which considers the
roll of joint mobility and stability as well as muscular strength and
motor control. Fortunately, in the thorax, the dog has served as a
good model in research for the human thoracic vertebral column,
thus potentially allowing for a good transference of information
and applications between these 2 species. An understanding of
the biomechanics of the area guides the practitioner to appropriate
technique selection. Manual assessment skills are useful in
deciding whether the symptoms that an animal is exhibiting
could be attributed to a mechanical dysfunction of the thorax or
something of a more serious nature. A systematic approach to

Clinical research within the physical therapy profession has
flourished over the last 10-15 years, with the emergence of many
quality studies that support the effectiveness of physical therapy
decision making. However, clinical research cannot stand alone
because it does not account for the overall impact of physical
therapy on the process of care and associated costs when delivered
under routine clinical circumstances. Health services research (HSR)
complements traditional clinical research by examining how people
get access to health care practitioners and health care services,
how much care costs, and what happens to patients as a result
of this care under real-world circumstances. HSR has become
especially relevant over the last 5-10 years in light of our health care
crisis and need for serious process of care and payment reform.
The Foundation for Physical Therapy’s establishment of a “Center
of Excellence” (COE) in health services/health policy research and
training is but one example of the profession’s having embraced
HSR as an important research priority that complements its ongoing
commitments to fund high-quality clinical studies and studies that
are a combination of both. This session will discuss the potential
to use health care claims and other data sources in HSR, review
current innovations in care delivery attributable to HSR, and future

Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates
that over 4 million adult drivers and passengers are treated in US
emergency departments annually for whiplash as the result of a
motor-vehicle accident. Most individuals recover spontaneously,
but 25% will, for reasons that are not clear, suffer from chronic
whiplash-related disability, and no treatments have been shown to
positively influence their outcomes. In the vast majority of whiplash
cases, structural damage on objective imaging is rarely associated
with symptoms. The prevailing opinion remains that poor functional
recovery is largely influenced by psychosocial, not biological
factors. While this may be the case in some, our preliminary data
and previous work are at odds with the position that symptoms of
chronic whiplash are purely related to psychosocial phenomena.
This new knowledge will set the stage for future studies
investigating more objective quantitative assessments and the
development of targeted science-based interventions that avoid
stigmatization of the individual with chronic whiplash-associated

Subacromial impingement syndrome is often referred to as the
most common disorder of the shoulder. However, in recent years
it has become apparent there are a growing number of conditions
being grouped under the diagnostic label of impingement, and there
is a growing disconnect between PTs and orthopedic surgeons
regarding the use of the diagnostic label. This course will clarify
the original diagnosis of impingement as defined by Neer, identify
the concerns with this diagnostic label from both surgical and
physical therapy perspectives, present current biomechanical
findings with regard to impingement and its subtypes (internal
versus subacromial), and consider alternative diagnostic labels
and movement-based clinical presentations of patient subgroups.
The presenters will include a board-certified, fellowship-trained
orthopedic surgeon specializing in the shoulder, a PT specializing in
shoulder biomechanics and rehabilitation research, and 2 PT clinical
specialists. Success in achieving Vision 2020 depends, at least
in part, on physical therapists being able to diagnose conditions
that are within the scope of their practice and consistently use
commonly understood terminology for describing the conditions
that affect the movement system of their patients.

Newborn infants receiving care in the PICU and NICU frequently
experience acute pain from invasive procedures, prolonged pain
following surgery, inflammation, placement of in-dwelling lines and
catheters, or underlying medical or surgical conditions. In addition
to pain-induced stress, patients are also subjected to the stress of
surgery, as well as thermal, nutritional, or other types of stress. This
presentation will review the development of pain and stress-related
mechanisms, the acute and long-term effects of pain and stress,
as well as broad strategies to lessen or modify the pain and stress
associated with neonatal intensive care using pharmacological
and nonpharmacological approaches. Nonpharmacological
approaches may include massage, stretching, sucrose, non-nutritive
sucking, breastfeeding, acupuncture, or other complex integrated
approaches such as NIDCAP. Nonpharmacological approaches are
gaining much greater importance in the management of neonatal
pain and stress because opioids and other drugs have the potential
to alter developmental processes in the immature brain.

collection of systematic detailed records of interventions and
measurement of client comorbidities and outcomes in order to
complete retrospective analyses of complex relationships between
interventions and outcomes. These methods are well suited for
program evaluation and research on effectiveness of interventions
provided under typical clinical conditions to any member of a
population. The speakers will provide an overview of the School
Physical Therapy Interventions for Pediatrics (SPTIP) data form
designed to document the activities and interventions used during
school-based services provided directly to the student and on
behalf of the student’ in a study titled: “Physical Therapy-Related
Child Outcomes in the Schools” (PT-COUNTS). SPTIP results from
120 physical therapists located across the US who provided schoolbased services to 300 students during the 2012-2013 school year
will be presented. This will provide an example of PBE methods,
use of the SPTIP, and strategies to evaluate effectiveness of
interventions. Attendees will learn about PBE methods, the SPTIP,

research suggests that the role of the upper extremities goes
well beyond just allowing the performance of these important
behaviors. Specifically, the behaviors infants and children perform
with their upper extremities are critical in building and shaping
perceptual-motor, language, social, and cognitive development.
This course will discuss what is new in early upper extremity
research and intervention, focusing on our improved understanding
of how reaching and manual behaviors emerge and how these
behaviors facilitate global development and learning ability.

NEURAL AND VISCERAL MANIPULATION FOR
INFANTS WITH TORTICOLLIS

Speaker: Jean A. Zollars, PT, MA
PD-1B-5511
Neural and visceral manipulation has been used to effectively
treat infants with congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) without
causing obvious discomfort. Neural manipulation (NM) is a gentle
form of manual therapy that assesses and treats neural and dural
restrictions in relationship to the cranium, spinal hard frame, and
upper and lower limbs. Visceral manipulation (VM) is a manual
therapy that encourages normal inherent tissue motion and mobility
of the organs and their connective tissues. By restoring mobility
of the nerves, organs, and their related structures (muscles, blood
supply, organs, bones, or joints), individuals experience less pain
and improved mobility and function. In this session, NM/VM will be
described generally and in regard to infants with CMT. A research
study will be discussed which investigated changes in neck range
of motion in infants with CMT following NM/VM treatment. From
this research project and case studies, common areas of restriction
in infants with CMT, including the accessory, vagus, and femoral
nerves; jugular foramen, brachial plexus, tentorium, and spinal dura
mater, will be described, as well as their functional implications,
such as accessory nerve affecting the sternocleidomastoid, brachial
plexus affecting arm movement, vagus nerve affecting neck rotation,
reflux, and nervous system regulation.
This research forum is the first in a series of 3 for pediatric physical
therapists. The overall goals of the forums are to advance pediatric
physical therapist practice by informing methods to document clinical
effectiveness and dose-response relationships on both individual and
patient population levels. The goals of this forum are to: 1) provide
attendees with a broad overview of evidence to support a systemsbased approach to evaluating and designing interventions, 2) provide
an opportunity to discuss a variety of outcome measures across the
personal dimensions and contextual factors of the ICF model, and 3)
describe data from existing large databases that may be pertinent
to the design of pediatric physical therapy interventions. Experts will
review the evidence supporting the use of specific outcome measures
for the personal dimensions of the ICF model to evaluate intervention
effectiveness in children with chronic disabling conditions. Participants
will use interactive remote devices to provide input on outcome
measures they believe are important or what measures they are
mandated to use in their setting to examine outcomes in each domain
of the ICF model. A review of existing databases will provide clinicians
with examples of outcomes currently used and methods to document
these outcomes. Panelists and audience participants will achieve
consensus on mechanisms to change practice behaviors to improve
outcome effectiveness and accountability.

Previous literature has shown physical therapists to be economical
and prudent first-order providers for the health care consumer
with musculoskeletal dysfunction. APTA’s Vision Statement asserts,
“By 2020, physical therapy will be provided by physical therapists
who are doctors of physical therapy, recognized by consumers
and other health care professionals as the practitioners of
choice to whom consumers have direct access for the diagnosis
of, interventions for, and prevention of impairments, activity
limitations, participation restrictions, and environmental barriers
44
related to movement, function, and health.” Achievement of
this goal requires the physical therapy profession as a whole to
be considered practitioners of first choice. Utilization of direct
access necessitates the physical therapist first rule out serious
pathology by making decisions based on evidence. Employment
of best practice decisions is especially essential for the clinician
without readily available access to diagnostic procedures outside
the scope of physical therapy care. This session will focus on the
clinical decision-making process, with respect to clinical reasoning
and best evidence, related to cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine
pathologies with concern for red flags (or serious pathology).
The speakers will present current best evidence, as it relates
to screening for serious pathology of the spine, as well as its
limitations. Audience participation will be encouraged via the use
of relevant clinical vignettes.

Patellofemoral pain (PFP) remains one of the most common
lower extremity conditions seen in orthopedic practice. While
interventions for PFP have shown positive short-term outcomes,
long-term clinical outcomes are less compelling. The apparent lack
of long-term success in treating this condition may be due to the
fact that the underlying factors that contribute to the development
of PFP are not being addressed. While it is generally agreed that
the etiology of PFP is multifactorial in nature, it is our contention
that the root causes of this condition are not well understood.
The mission of the 3rd International Patellofemoral Pain Research
Retreat was to bring together scientists and clinicians from around
the world who are conducting research aimed at understanding
the factors that contribute to the development and treatment of
PFP. An important element of the retreat was the development of
consensus statements that summarized the state of the research in
2 mechanistic categories (abnormal patellofemoral joint mechanics
and altered lower extremity function) and 1 clinical category
(interventions for PFP). This session will provide an overview of the
consensus statements that reflect the most current knowledge in
this area of research and practice.

assumptions, methodological utility and aims, approach and
design, data collection and management, analytic techniques, and
presentation of findings. Qualitative descriptive approaches and
content analyses will be presented to avoid common pitfalls, such
as “no name” qualitative reporting in which qualitative description
or content analysis is assumed but not stated. Ethnographic
methods can be used to address clinically focused questions in
organizational and other settings relevant to physical therapist

Traditional methods of instruction and feedback during motor
learning in physical therapy involve the use of an internal focus of
attention. This course will discuss motor learning theories related
to the incorporation of an external focus of attention versus an
internal focus of attention during motor skill acquisition and retention,
including ways in which attentional focus could influence movement
efficiency. The speakers will discuss current evidence supporting
the use of an external focus of attention in varied patient/client
populations, as well as the benefits and challenges that each type
of instruction presents, in both the clinical and research settings.
Specific focus of attention applications will be made with regard to
an anterior cruciate ligament injury prevention program, improvement
of balance in young adults, and a variation of applied themes with
regard to instruction and motor learning in dance. Lastly, this course
will interactively challenge participants to think of ways in which
they can incorporate the use of focus of attention into their daily
clinical practice. Physical therapists and movement specialists need
to be aware that instructional differences can affect motor behavior
and PTs are in an ideal position to translate these insightful motor
learning strategies into daily practice.
More than 50% of runners will get injured in any given year.
Sadly, prevention of these injuries has proven to be difficult, if
not impossible. Most studies related to injury predictors in these
runners point to overtraining. Additionally, there has been a great
deal of attention recently on strike pattern, shoe wear, and general
mechanics, with much less focus on exercises and drills specific
to running. Many runners demonstrate weaknesses and inflexibility
of the lower extremities. Studies have found that including
functional cross-training interventions may improve biomechanics
during running, and increase performance. Through the use of
functional screening tools, the sports physical therapist can choose
and implement the best nonrunning interventions to increase
performance. Variability in types of training, as well as exposure
to exercises focused on common impairments of the lower
extremities, may help reduce the frequency or severity of injuries
in runners. This program will provide the physical therapist with
specific training programs for the runner aimed at improving lower
extremity strength, flexibility, and performance while reducing the
impact and stress on the lower extremities due to running.

Running continues to grow in popularity amongst middle school,
high school, and collegiate athletes. Concomitant with an increase
in running participation is an associated increase risk in injury.
Management of injuries unique to the young and competitive runner
requires comprehensive knowledge of biomechanics, orthopedics,
and exercise science. This session will provide an overview of
common running-related injuries in the young competitive athlete.
The course will emphasize differential diagnosis and evidence-based
treatment. Case studies will be used to drive home key points.

College and professional sports teams routinely hire a professional
health care staff that incudes physicians, psychologists, physical
therapists, and athletic trainers to attend to the ongoing physical,
emotional, and mental needs of their athletes. In some cases,
large health care entities and private practitioners pay for the
privilege of providing the team physicians, often as part of a
marketing agreement between a health care center and a sports
team franchise. The unique structural relationship of sports
franchises has challenged the traditional fiduciary role of health
care professionals and their patients and has given rise to
potential ethical conflicts; the ethical principles of autonomy and
confidentiality do not easily translate into sports medicine due to
competing obligations and lack of clarity of ethical guidelines. Team
physicians and other health care professionals involved in college
or professional sports are under unique pressures to navigate the
multiple layers of team management to return an athlete to sport,
particularly when he or she might not be ready. This session will
explore ethical issues faced by health care professionals who work
with professional and nonprofessional athletes. The speakers will
review ethical concepts and a process of ethical decision making
to apply to case scenarios involving ethical issues. The session
also will address confidentiality and the press, sports physician
and antidoping governance, and genetic testing and genetic
enhancement. Attendees will gain knowledge of current research
describing ethical issues in sports medicine. Cases will be used
to illustrate and provide practical decision making strategies.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own cases and issues for
discussion.

Rauh, PT, PhD, MPH, FACSM, Ellen Shanley, PT, PhD, OCS, CSCS
Participation in sports has many beneficial effects, such as
enhanced quality of life, improved physical fitness, scholarship,
and an overall healthier lifestyle. Unfortunately, injury is often a
consequence of athletic involvement. After injury, athletes have an
expectation that they will return to their previous health and level
of participation in a relatively short period of time. This represents
a unique challenge for the sports physical therapy practitioner, as a
very high level of function is demanded in a shorter period of time.
This problem is exacerbated as third-party payers continue to focus
on merely return to activities of daily living and fail to reimburse for
care necessary to achieve a higher functional level for appropriate
and safe return to sport. Accordingly, many athletes likely return to
activity too early after suffering an injury. Recent reports indicate an
increasingly high subsequent injury rate with increased time loss
to sport participation and higher costs to the health care system
due to additional surgeries and readmissions to outpatient physical
therapy services. This session will review the alarmingly high
incidence of subsequent athletic injury following return to sport
from an initial injury as well as potential modifiable risk factors for
repeat injury. The speakers will review modifications to return-tosport criteria and end-stage rehabilitation, which have the potential
to reduce subsequent injury rates. The presenters also will discuss
a theoretical model mimicking our inpatient colleagues charge
to reduce hospital readmissions and discuss a model to reduce
outpatient physical therapy readmissions.

The first randomized controlled trials of “explaining pain”
as a therapeutic strategy were undertaken almost 15 years
ago. Numerous trials and experiments support its use in the
management of chronic pain, and some understanding of how and
for whom it works. However, it is incompletely understood by many
clinicians. The speakers will provide a background to explaining
pain, an outline of the rationale behind it, and the current state
of the evidence concerning its benefits and limitations. They also
will address common misperceptions of explaining pain, present a
framework that emphasizes conceptual change across contexts and
media, and discuss the future directions of research in the field. In
this section, current educational research in science education will
be extrapolated to patients in pain, currently one in four Americans.
Attendees will learn how to integrate aspects of modern conceptual
change theory into explaining pain, for example to identify levels, or
types, of misconceptions a patient may have and then to target the
type, content, and delivery of education accordingly.

This presentation will build on Part 1 and focus on the clinical
aspects of explaining pain. In this section, the speakers will provide
working examples of the process of explaining pain. Attendees
will learn about recent developments in our understanding of
abnormalities in brain function that have been observed in people
with persistent pain. The course also will explore the therapeutic
educational value of this particular new scientific understanding,
place it within a conceptual change framework, and then turn it to
our patients’ advantage. This involves extracting useful therapeutic
knowledge and adapting the knowledge delivery to likely levels
of misconceived knowledge held by people in pain. Examples
of the use of different forms of metaphor, statements and literal
education, as well as delivery methods will be made. While the
relevance of this process and therapy will be applied to the more
common chronic pain states, application to “forgotten groups”
such as those with pelvic pain, stroke pain, and complex regional
pain syndrome and acute pain will be made. Explaining pain does
not exist as a singular therapy and its integration into the more
traditional movement-based and activity-based physical therapies
will be emphasized.

Cultural competency is not only a hallmark of 21st-century health
care initiatives, but a compliance issue at every level of medical
service delivery. Understanding and responding to differences with
adaptability and availability is just as crucial for physical therapists
as it is for other health care providers. A clear understanding of
cultural norms would support the pelvic health professional in
communicating and reaching mutual goals with their patients.
Recent research shares a lot of information about the differences
among cultures in regards to reproductive and sexual functioning.
This session will explore the cultural differences in how patients
present and form expectations about their OBGYN care and how to

abdominal muscles as a foundation for the impairments and
functional limitations found in DRA. The scope of the problem,
including incidence, precipitating factors, and consequences of
DRA, will be discussed in relation to current research. The major

addition, completing an acute care competency can help instill
a higher sense of confidence in clinicians. This session looks at
the development and application of clinical competencies for
different aspects of acute care, from general clinical competence

Growing knowledge and understanding of long-lasting
impairments seen in survivors of critical illness underscores the
importance of an early approach to rehabilitation in the intensive
care unit (ICU). Often the first health professionals to fully assess
strength, mobility, and functional capabilities of patients in the ICU,
physical therapists must have adequate knowledge of ICU-specific
evaluation and assessment tools, plus an understanding of the
safety considerations for the initial assessment of patients with
critical illness. This session will discuss common physical therapy
assessment tools and strategies for the patient with critical
illness, including the use of outcome measures pertinent to this
patient population. ICU-acquired delirium, along with ICU-acquired
weakness and potential long-term consequences, will also be
addressed, as well as the role of physical therapy in managing and

Speakers: Melanie M. Parker, PT, DPT, NCS, Brooke Fontana, PT, DPT
Advances in reconstructive surgery, revascularization, and burn
care have led to an increasing number of complex procedures
for limb salvage, skin grafting, complex wound coverage,
and composite tissue transplantation, with patients requiring
monitoring in the acute and critical-care settings following
surgery to ensure flap survival. Physical therapists practicing in
these settings need to know the effects of mobilization in the
postoperative phase following these innovative procedures. While
early ambulation following a skin graft has been supported in
the literature since the 1970s, some institutions still follow the
protocol for 5-7 days of bed rest. For more complex procedures,
surgeons often order conservative progression of mobility to
ensure flap viability, but this is not always based on evidence. By
understanding the literature regarding the effects of positioning
and mobility on tissue oxygenation and flap outcomes, the physical
therapist can better collaborate with the health care team to
provide optimal mobilization and progression of activity after
grafting and reconstructive procedures, and may facilitate future
studies regarding the effects of specific activities and activity
progression on reconstructive outcomes.

As our knowledge and understanding of the numerous and longlasting impairments seen in survivors of critical illness continues
to expand, the importance of an early approach to rehabilitation
in the intensive care unit (ICU) is increasingly recognized and
embraced. As frontline leaders in the physical rehabilitation of
strength, mobility, and functional capabilities of patients in the
ICU, physical therapists can appraise and implement the clinical
evidence of treatment strategies for patients with critical illness.
As well, physical therapists need an understanding of the safety
considerations for the ongoing management of patients with
critical illness. This session will discuss a continuum of physical
therapy management options, ranging from completely passive
treatments (eg, neuromuscular electrical stimulation) through
active mobilization (eg, progressive mobility while mechanically
ventilated). We will critically appraise the current evidence, and
discuss clinical decision making indications and considerations for
each type of treatment strategy.

FOURTH ACUTE CARE LECTURE: DO YOU OWN YOUR
PRACTICE? THE IMPORTANCE OF OWNING YOUR
DECISIONS AND ACTIONS
6:30 pm–7:30 pm Venetian J AC-2D-6881
Speaker: Jennifer Ryan, PT, DPT, MS, CSCS
The most common way that a physical therapist or physical
therapist assistant is paid in acute care physical therapy
departments is as an employee who then answers to a manager
within a hospital department. There are constraints on professional
decision-making that exist when a practitioner is an employee
versus an owner. Likewise, these practitioners are exempted
from certain responsibilities when they function in the role of
employee. Does that design subvert the clinician’s possibilities
for professional development? Physical therapists and physical
therapist assistants also serve on interprofessional teams
throughout the hospital, which facilitates shared responsibility,
but does it also reduce ownership of decisions? Is autonomy the
antithesis to functioning as a team or is the team stronger when
each component member can stand-alone as well as they can
stand together?

As evidenced by APTA’s Vision 2020 Statement, practitioners need
access to, and the ability to openly discuss, advances in practice
and concepts as they apply to the practice of cardiovascular
and pulmonary physical therapy. Lack of accessibility, clinical or
personal time, and/or knowledge of article synopsis can hinder
progress. This session will provide a review of the cardiovascular
and pulmonary literature published within the past year spanning
journals from bench to applied sciences. This review will provide
participants with a broad overview of research and will not be
specific to any cardiovascular or pulmonary health condition. The
speakers will briefly present each article and give an interpretation
of each study, which is then open to discussion by all the

The reported clinical benefits of respiratory muscle training
include improved pressure generation by the respiratory muscles,
reduced dyspnea, increased functional activity and endurance,
and heightened athletic performance. However, respiratory muscle
training has not been widely adopted into routine physical therapy
practice. This session will help participants determine which
patients may benefit from respiratory muscle training, and to
characterize the essential components of an exercise prescription
designed to improve the performance of the inspiratory and
expiratory muscles. It will provide the physiological rationale for
incorporating respiratory muscle training into physical therapy
practice to reverse respiratory muscle weakness and fatigue in
order to improve patient outcomes, function, and quality of life.
The speakers will synthesize basic and clinical evidence of how
an elevated work of breathing influences fatigue, muscle injury,
and exercise performance, then explore clinical manifestations
associated with respiratory muscle weakness and the functional
problems related to disuse atrophy. Speakers will evaluate
exercise prescriptions specifically designed to improve respiratory
muscle strength, alleviate respiratory muscle fatigue, and enhance
functional performance. Special consideration and discussion will
be given to clinical scenarios of chronic obstructive pulmonary

Speaker: Lisa H. Goodfriend, PT, MPT, CWS, FAACWS
Continued debate about the heel wound and its many facets
means clinicians often have difficulty determining the etiology of
a posterior heel ulcer when pressure, diabetes, and/or peripheral
arterial disease are involved. These wounds are problematic
for skilled nursing facilities and hospitals because they carry
implications of negligence, abuse, and poor quality of care, and
patients experience a significant decline in mobility and quality
of life. Therefore, prevention and a multidisciplinary approach
are essential. The heel is the second most common site for ulcer
development due to its anatomy and physiology, and treatment
is often longstanding and expensive. See how to dissect the risk
factors and etiology in order to develop a comprehensive treatment
program to minimize complications such as osteomyelitis and
lower-limb amputations. This session will focus on how physical
therapists are instrumental in the assessment, prevention,
management, and treatment of these complex heel wounds.

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is an effective modality
for strengthening muscle; there is a correlation between the strength
of electrical contractions achieved and improvements in muscle
strength. This session will use evidence from published studies and
clinical experience to address the physiological, psychological, and
clinical factors that must be considered in order to achieve maximal
strength gains when performing NMES. Physiologic factors to be
discussed are blood flow, tissue temperature, muscle location, and
fatigue, as well as electrical waveforms and current parameters that
affect clinical response. Techniques designed to improve tolerance
will be considered, including type of waveform, electrode shape, size,
location, skin preparation, cooling or heating of skin prior to or during
NMES, and psychological preparation. Participants will learn the effect
of these techniques on tolerance and ability to achieve maximum
electrical contractions.

CE-2B-5121
The integumentary system is often overlooked with respect to its
importance and vital functions, especially when compared to the
other systems. As the largest organ of the body, comprehensive
skin assessment should be a part of every patient evaluation
and thoroughly taught in physical therapy education programs.
Unlike the other systems, the integumentary system can be
visibly assessed and palpated, making for a unique multimodal
approach regarding evaluation. Instructors often use a traditional
didactic approach for teaching integumentary examination in
physical therapy programs; this session will describe a novel
and interactive learning approach to teach comprehensive
skin assessment utilizing non-dissected cadavers. Utilizing the
mnemonic “DERMATOLOGICAL,” an interactive lab experience
teaches the components of thorough skin assessment on intact
cadavers using didactic as well as kinesthetic and visual learning.
This unique approach allows students to thoroughly examine the
skin while discovering various dermatological variants that enhance
the learning experience. Students also appreciate post mortem skin
changes and those related to tissue preservation.

How do PTs decide to include or exclude electrophysical agents
(EPAs) as an important element in client management? Expert and
novice clinicians are expected to draw from professional education
and experience to employ evidence-based clinical decision making
and reasoning skills. The International Society for Electrophysical
Agents in Physical Therapy (ISEAPT), a subgroup of the World
Confederation for Physical Therapy (WCPT) and Commission on
Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), attempts
to ensure that accredited programs prepare graduates to be
effective clinicians. CAPTE lists electrotherapeutic modalities as
patient/client management expectations. Despite the growing
body of evidence supporting integrative use of EPAs, why are
many clinicians so resistant to use them? We often hear, “I don’t
have time to connect the machine to the patient,” “My instructors
told me there is not enough research to support that they work,”
or “I am a manual therapist; I don’t use modalities.” Clinician’s
perception seems to be that EPAs have little value, despite
CAPTE’s inclusion of them as an accepted intervention. Participants
will review actual opposition cases and engage in small-group
discussion to problem-solve strategies to overcome barriers to
integrative use of EPAs.

need a “wake-up call” and respond well to mentoring. This session
will describe a unique approach to remediating professional
behavior problems that are first identified on campus during
didactic courses. This program implements an individualized
approach that uses collaboration with a professional mentor to
provide the real-world context. The academic program director
will share policies and procedures regarding professional behavior,
and the director of clinical education will discuss the development
and implementation of an affective behavior remediation plan
designed to improve likelihood of student success in later clinical

Application of evidence-based practice (EBP), integrating
research, clinical expertise, and client values and preferences
to affect patient care in the clinical environment is a critical skill
requiring guidance and practice. Research findings suggest that
understanding the process of EBP does not directly translate into
implementation in clinical practice. This session will describe an
innovative curriculum to facilitate the knowledge translation of
EBP from the classroom to the clinical environment. The traditional
curricular model teaches the concepts and process of EBP within
the framework of the didactic curriculum, limiting exposure
and practice to the classroom. The Virtual Grand Rounds online
curricular model incorporates guidance from faculty, clinical
instructors, and peers to facilitate the evidence-based decisionmaking process in clinical practice with actual patients. During this

Social media has rapidly become a mainstream mode of
communication for health care providers and consumers, and
professional use of social media is one of several technologybased competencies that physical therapists should learn. In 2012,
APTA adopted an official position on social media, “Standards of
Conduct in the Use of Social Media.” In this course, the physical
therapy educator will learn how social media sites may be used
throughout the physical therapy curriculum from admission to
graduation to model, support, and promote digital professionalism.
Through a combination of presentation, demonstration, and
discussion, this session will provide examples of good and bad
use of health care social media and will explore strategies to help
students learn to use social sites for personal and professional
purposes while adhering to ethical, professional, and legal
standards. This workshop will provide examples of how social
media are being used in physical therapy education and will

This session will review the basics of pre and postamputation
physical therapy and prosthetic care. It will provide the fundamental
skills needed to treat a patient with a lower extremity amputation;
specifically, the session will include instruction on the therapeutic
management of the lower extremity amputee covering mobility,
positioning, bandaging, therapeutic exercise, prosthetic prescription,
and prosthetic management. A systematic evidence-based
approach will be reviewed for managing patients with lower
extremity amputation in the real world and in cases of limited
resources. Primary focus will be on the more common geriatric,
diabetic, deconditioned, nontraumatic amputee, but general
principles will apply to all patient populations. Current physical
therapy students, recent graduates, and therapists looking to
improve their amputee rehabilitation skills will most benefit from
the course.
Individuals who have experienced lower limb trauma as the
result of combat injuries commonly experience multiple surgical
procedures and extensive rehabilitation; individuals with
amputations or requiring limb-saving procedures have traditionally
demonstrated a marked decrease in physical function. Intensive
rehabilitation, advances in prosthetic technologies, and custom
carbon fiber exoskeletal devices have, however, increased the level
of mobility and resulting function patients can expect to achieve.
This session will review recent advances in patient care and
associated scientific evidence, and share experience gained in the
rehabilitation and assessment of patients using novel devices. The
presenters will discuss the basic mechanics behind the function
of the devices, identify techniques for maximizing mobility and
physical function, and look forward to upcoming developments.

As the fifth-leading cause of death in older adults, fall-related
injuries account for medical costs of more than $20 billion per
year, with resultant implications in function, independence, and
longevity. Falling in the older adult is multifactorial and has
been linked to physiological deficits such as impaired balance,
slowed reaction time, muscular weakness, and low body mass,
but can also be associated with the presence of cognitive
impairments. As the incidence of falling increases in older
adults with cognitive deficits, so does their rate of fracture and
likelihood for institutionalization after falling. Assessments of
function and fall risk are commonly performed to determine an
older adult’s balance and likelihood for falling by various health
care practitioners, including physical therapists; however, valid
screening tools of cognition are less commonly employed in
geriatric practice, despite evidence that suggests that deficits in
cognition impact fall risk. In this session, participants will review
some easy-to-use and clinically relevant screening tools of
various domains of cognition and will identify how those tools are

Much discussion recently has centered around the importance of
repetitions and intensity. However, we must recognize that without
complete attention and intention, a repetition is not a repetition.
In this 2-part presentation, the speakers will discuss some of the
most formidable barriers to successful rehabilitation: depression,
impaired cognition, and patients that are incompletely motivated.
Depression is related to how much PT patients participate in the
rehabilitation process and how much they improve. In addition,
depression is related to impaired cognition and ability to pay
attention. Attendees will learn the risk factors for depression,
the characteristics of geriatric depression, and why there might
be a correlation between depression and memory impairment.
The session will also offer numerous strategies to motivate older
adults to fully engage in the level of intensity deemed to be most
beneficial in therapy. These motivational strategies are derived
from psychological theories and have only recently been studied
in physical rehabilitation. Videos will illustrate these principles
to show participants how they can dramatically improve patient
participation and intensity to maximize recovery.

A major gap exists between research and clinical settings.
Regulations and reimbursement structures, efficiency
requirements, and variability in practice can pose major barriers
to the implementation of effective interventions. However, we
know implementing validated interventions as intended will
result in the best patient outcomes. This session will present
an initiative at Genesis Rehabilitation Services to use a systembased approach to implement a sustainable evidence-based fall
prevention program across more than 400 sites in at least 21
states. The initial concept was tested using “Plan, Do, Study, Act”
(PDSA) cycles. The standardized process of implementation, which
included components of education, infrastructure, and partnership,
will be presented. Outcomes to date will be presented, as well as
valuable lessons learned from translating the research into clinical
practice in a variety of older adult care settings. The presenters
will offer practical tips and strategies to implement an evidencebased intervention in their practice.

Within geriatric care settings, clinical educators play a significant
role in preparing both students and new graduates to meet
the demands of a diverse, medically complex population.
Understanding the importance of physical therapy’s role in
geriatrics is critical to remove stereotypes of practice as well as
enhance the utilization of evidence-based approaches to care. This
session will explore the role of the clinical educator in enhancing
the knowledge and skills of both students and new graduates that
are entering into a geriatric setting for a clinical rotation, residency
program, or first job. Review of key components to maximize the
clinical experience in a geriatric setting will include: partnership
considerations with academic institutions, effective orientation
for both the clinical educator and student or new graduate,
educational topics to enhance understanding of the geriatric
population in diverse care settings, mentorship for new graduates,
and resources to encourage continuation of learning beyond the
clinic. This education session will incorporate lecture material and
an expert panel of clinical instructors, academic coordinators of
clinical education, students, and new graduates to provide insights
and answer audience questions regarding what adds value to the
clinical experience within a geriatric setting.

With the advent of the Affordable Care Act, the need to track
functional changes by using valid and sensitive outcome measures
has become increasingly important. This is the time for members
of different APTA sections to partner together and identify outcome
measures of value across practice areas. This course presents
a critical review of measures of arm and hand function as used
by experts in the fields of major categories of practice patterns.
The World Health Organization International Classification of
Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) will provide the framework
for identifying arm and hand measures of body structure and
function and activities and participation; the quality of the
standardized measures will be reviewed using guidelines by the
APTA EDGE Taskforce (Evaluation Database to Guide Effectiveness).
Levels of recommendation will be provided based on the available

Traumatic brachial plexus injury is a devastating injury. With
the advent of, and increased participation in, high-energy motor
sports and other high-risk recreational activities, these injuries are
becoming more common. Young healthy individuals are targets of
these injuries, and functional deficits following traumatic nerve
injury may be significant and life-changing. Unlike soft-tissue and
skeletal repair techniques that can restore near-perfect function,
reconstruction techniques following traumatic nerve injury are
not nearly as effective in restoring premorbid function. However,
recent advances in surgical techniques offer much hope for this
population. In this presentation, the speaker will review upper
extremity nerve anatomy, brachial plexus anatomy, physiology of
nerve injury and repair, patterns of brachial plexus and peripheral
nerve injuries, and preoperative evaluation. The basic principles of
several surgical reconstruction options will be covered briefly.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the US Preventive
ServicesTask Force, accountable care organizations (ACOs), and
meaningful use–Falls are a hot topic–driving many national polices
around where to focus health care dollars. Physical therapists
are strategically positioned to be the “go-to” provider for fall risk
management, but are we ready? Come to this session to learn
about national initiatives to address the problem of falls, who
in the health care food chain is being targeted and why, what
resources and programs are available in your community, and
the opportunities to leverage these policies to increase your local
referral base and improve patient outcomes.
Students are attracted to programs with opportunities for
international service; programs look in part at international
service as a means for developing culturally competent clinicians.
With increasing faculty and student interest, it is no wonder
that the demand for global education at the tertiary level has
been projected to increase from 1.8 million students in 2000 to
7.2 million in 2025. Purposeful program planning on behalf of
the program and lead faculty members is essential to ensure
the success and safety of international service activities, and
participating faculty and students must be prepared for the
unexpected. But the planning should not end with the return flight:
thoughtful postactivity engagement is a critical component in
the success of international service learning. In this session, the
presenters will share current planning strategies and resources,
plus the lessons they have learned along the way. Discussion
topics will include identifying activities and organizations, funding,
student selection, creation and assessment of learning outcomes,

The home health industry is under ever-increasing pressure
from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and
other stakeholders to provide better outcomes in fewer visits.
Administrators seeking to do more with less need to look at ways
to be efficient without sacrificing quality. Clinicians in home health
are asked to enhance the quality of services to improve patient
satisfaction and maximize outcomes while minimizing the risk
of adverse events, which should be represented in the results of
the HHCAHPS survey and OASIS outcome measures, respectively.
Timely and appropriate care coordination is the key for progress in
these areas, in addition to demonstrating compliance with federal
and state regulations. This session will present an interdisciplinary
care model as a means to achieve quality care coordination

Therapeutic exercise is one of our primary interventions as
physical therapists. As such, it is important to accurately prescribe
all types of therapeutic exercise for our patients in order to
maximize treatment effectiveness and patient safety. While we
provide exercise for our patients every day, we may not always
be intentional about the type, parameters, and rationale for each
exercise. Understanding the why, when, and how of therapeutic
exercise prescription is crucial for PTs. This hands-on session
will provide a framework for prescribing appropriate therapeutic
exercise based on the patient’s health condition, body structure
and function, activity goal, and contextual factors (environmental
and personal). Integrating evidence for exercise prescription with
practical methods to provide this essential intervention for patients
in the home care setting, participants gain proficiency in effective
and efficient therapeutic exercise prescription. Discussions focus
on all types of therapeutic exercise including those to facilitate
tissue healing, mobility, stability, muscle performance, balance, and
skill acquisition Case examples augment the presented principles

An individual’s focus of attention has an important influence on
motor skill performance and learning. Specifically, an external
focus of attention (ie, focus on the movement effect) has been
shown to result in more effective and efficient movements than
an internal focus (ie, focus on body movements). Over the past 15
years, findings have consistently demonstrated that an external
focus promotes movement automaticity, accuracy, consistency,
and efficiency. These findings generalize across age groups, tasks,
levels of expertise, and performer characteristics (eg, healthy,
impaired). For example, external focus instructions have been
shown to enhance balance performance in people with Parkinson
disease, and the performance of object manipulation tasks in
persons after stroke. Thus, simply rewording instruction can lead
to improved outcomes. Evidence and mechanisms underlying the
benefits of an external focus will be discussed.

Become familiar with current research that has advanced our

applied to clinical practice. This session will present some of the
research that has demonstrated how multisensory integration
modifies motor responses in postural control and walking.
Recent scientific studies using motor learning principles and
more complex models of sensorimotor control have revealed
that even traditionally viewed sensory systems, such as the
vestibular system, may be involved in a complex integration
of information from several sensory pathways. This more
sophisticated understanding of sensory processing and its impact
on the multisegmental body alters our understanding of causality
and treatment of instability during functional movements. The
development of virtual reality and other applied technologies has
contributed to research in understanding the affect of multisensory
processes on motor control and has suggested new approaches
for the assessment and treatment of individuals with balance and

There is an increased demand for the use of standardized outcome
measures by payers, referral sources, and consumers in an effort
to demonstrate the benefit of physical therapy services. Neurologic
PTs now have access to a wide variety of outcome measures.
The EDGE task forces have disseminated outcome measures
recommendations for patients with stroke, SCI, MS, PD, TBI,
and vestibular disorders. While online repositories for outcome
measures allow greater access to the tools, the challenge for the
practicing clinician is the selection of the measure that will serve
all needs: documentation, authorization, motivation, and clinical
accountability. Use of standardized outcome measures is one facet
that distinguishes a skilled PT practitioner from an unlicensed
professional. However, PTs may not “measure up” in implementing
outcome measures or using their findings to guide intervention
selection. This program will provide attendees with practical
suggestions for the use and implementation of outcome measures

A multidisciplinary enterprise-wide concussion care path has been
established by the Cleveland Clinic to standardize the treatment
approach and outcomes for all patients with concussion. Key to
its success was the standardization of outcome measures used
by all disciplines across the spectrum of concussion care. An
iPad application was developed to assist with this standardization
process and to ensure accurate documentation of each individual’s
status and progress, from baseline to recovery. The app is a part of
the comprehensive assessment completed for athletes at baseline,
serially during their course of recovery, and integrated into the
clinical practices of ATCs, PTs, and physicians. It consists of an
incident report used to document the demographics and immediate
results of the injury, and modules to assess symptoms, balance,
information processing, working memory, and visual-vestibular
function. Postural stability is quantified within the app as the patient
is instrumented with the iPad during performance of the Balance
Error Scoring System. Data from the accelerometer and gyroscope
within the iPad capture the individual’s anterior–posterior and
mediolateral sway, providing an objective measure of balance.

Pediatric oncology is a growing area in physical therapy, with
expanding literature supporting PT to address acute and late
effects of medical therapies. One of the most common pediatric
cancers is acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Physical
therapists’ involvement may be in a multitude of settings
(inpatient, outpatient, school, home) throughout the duration of
medical treatment and after its completion. Due to the complex
nature of ALL and its treatment, a comprehensive knowledge
of pathology, medical therapies, side effects, and lab values is
critical for physical therapists. In addition, children with ALL often
have complex psychosocial needs that directly impact physical
therapy. This presentation will provide an overview of these areas
in relation to physical therapy intervention with support from
the literature. An ICF framework will be used to highlight the
complexity of ALL and the need to maintain a holistic approach.

orthopedic effects must be considered during assessment and
intervention. Over the past few decades, surgical and medical
technological advances have improved the quality of life and
functional outcomes in children diagnosed with bone cancer.
Younger children are now candidates for limb-sparing procedures
that had not been feasible due to limited ability to accommodate
for the child’s growth. There are no documented standards of
care, clinical practice guidelines, or best practice pathways in the
literature for physical therapy interventions following local control
surgeries that include limb sparing, rotationplasty, or amputation.

The value of physical therapy intervention to improve quality
of life for patients with neurodegenerative disease such as
Parkinson disease (PD), ALS, and multiple sclerosis (MS) is wellrecognized, particularly when the possibility for improving function
exists. In contrast, there is less evidence supporting the value
of physical therapy intervention in the late to terminal stages of
these conditions. This session will focus on the physical therapy
management of late-stage neurodegenerative disease utilizing
case studies and emerging evidence to describe physical therapy
interventions for optimizing function and quality of life in the face
of global physiologic and cognitive decline. Because increasing
numbers of patients with neurodegenerative disease are receiving
end-of-life care in hospice settings, this session will also address
indications for hospice referral, as well as physical therapy

Cancer survival rates are improving. Patients with a history
of cancer will be referred to physical therapists for unrelated
musculoskeletal problems and functional deficits to be treated
in outpatient settings. Therapists are well-versed in assessing
for “red flags” to rule out sinister causes of symptoms. However,
there is less knowledge and understanding of the impact of cancer
treatment on various body systems in relation to physical therapy
clinical decision making and therapeutic interventions. This session
is designed to help the therapist understand implications of prior
cancer treatment on clinical decision making and therapeutic
interventions.

In recent years, there have been dramatic increases in the rate of
hip femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) and labral tear diagnosis,
and in the number of MRIs ordered to rule in or out hip pathology
and hip arthroscopies performed. In response to the influx of hip
labral diagnoses, referrals to physical therapy have increased more
than ever. With the limited use of diagnostic MRI and reports of
unsatisfactory outcomes for patients with ongoing hip/groin pain,
the question of underlying etiology remains. The complexity of the
lumbopelvic hip and lower extremity postural alignment makes it
challenging for clinicians to decipher the primary source of anterior
hip/groin pain and consequently devise effective interventions.
Physical therapists must weigh the contribution of the labral tear
as a primary source of pain or possibly the often less explored
lumbopelvic region as referral pain to the hip/groin region. This
presentation will address the influence of anatomical structures on
anterior groin/hip pain and differential diagnosis of lumbopelvic hip
pain, and offer a distinct approach to physical therapy intervention
for patients with FAI/labral tear diagnoses. The program will
address soft tissue techniques, muscle length/strength imbalances,
and postural alignment, and offer a unique approach to intervention
for this patient population.

The International Classification of Functioning (ICF) is a unified
model of functioning and disability developed by the World
Health Organization. The ICF provides standard language and a
framework for the description of health and health-related states
in terms of body structure and function, activity, and participation
in life situations. The ICF provides a useful framework to direct
examination, treatment, and evaluation of outcome of conditions
treated by physical therapists. In 2006, the Orthopaedic Section
undertook a project to develop evidence-based guidelines for
examination and treatment of common musculoskeletal conditions
that were based on the ICF model. This session will summarize the
status of this project, including presentation of the shoulder clinical
practice. The session will also discuss the strategies to integrate

This course will guide physical therapists in interpreting, and
applying to practice, research evaluating diagnosis and treatment
classification of back pain. The speakers will addess 4 common
diagnostic and classification strategies: (1) screening for serious
disease to identify those patients with a higher likelihood of
serious disease who need more extensive diagnostic work-up;
(2) formulating a patho-anatomical diagnosis; (3) prognostic
risk stratification to distinguish between those patients who will
recover quickly and require minimal treatment versus those
who have a less favorable prognosis and require more intensive
treatment; and (4) treatment matching based on identification
of important impairments and/or meeting published criteria for
being a responder to specific interventions. This 2-hour course
will remove some of the mysteries around research in this area
and equip clinicians with a greater understanding they can
readily apply in the clinic. For each of the diagnostic/classification
strategies the presenters will review key research papers in the
field and consider 3 issues: Can I trust this research paper? What
do those numbers and statistics in the paper mean? How can I use

Despite the technological developments in modern running
footwear, up to 79% of shod runners are injured in a given year.
This may be explained in part by the fact that nearly 90% of
shod runners land on their heels when they run. This type of
footstrike pattern has been associated with common running
injuries. Barefoot running encourages a forefoot strike pattern
that is associated with a reduction in this impact loading. Studies
have shown a reduction in injuries to shod forefoot strikers
compared with rearfoot strikers. In addition to a forefoot strike
pattern, barefoot running also affords the runner increased sensory
feedback from the foot–ground contact, as well as increased
energy storage in the arch. However, barefoot running may not
be practical, such as when the ground is hot, cold, or rocky. As
barefoot/minimal footwear running is essentially exercise for
the foot, it needs to be transitioned slowly and preceded by a
focused foot-strengthening program. This session will provide the
background and rationale for barefoot/minimal footwear running
and describe a safe preparation and transitioning program. Case
studies will be reviewed.

Enhancing functional mobility is a major focus of pediatric therapy
and of considerable interest among rehabilitation researchers.
But research progress for producing major changes in the lives
of these children is too slow in the making and too slow on the
uptake. How can we “get moving” faster together so children
with CP can “get moving” sooner, easier, and more? Also, how
can we better determine and communicate the “hype” vs “hope”
of technology and other “props” for improving gait rehabilitation
outcomes in CP? What are the barriers to and challenges, as well
as the opportunities, in bringing research and clinical practice
closer together?
Rehabilitation strategies vary greatly due to vast differences in
the dosing of interventions. This session will explore the state
of the science in dosing as it relates to children with CP for the
musculoskeletal system. The speakers will place an emphasis on
treatment strategies with established criteria for dosing—including
frequency, volume, duration, intensity, and movement speed—

As Medicare reimbursements are threatened and increasing
restrictions are placed in the group health world, many physical
therapy providers are turning to workers’ compensation as
an avenue to improve collections and supplement the income
they’ve lost. Practice owners making the shift into the workers’
compensation arena must be aware of the importance of tracking
and measuring outcomes in order to negotiate “winning” contracts.
In the current workers’ compensation marketplace, PPOs and
other repricing entities have preyed on PTs and our inability to
provide objective measures supporting our value in the treatment
and medical management process. They’ve done this by collecting
and manipulating data. This data and the ability to “manage” an
injured worker’s course of treatment are then marketed to insurers
and employers. Their message is usually related to “cost savings”
that can be expected if they are allowed to “manage” a claim.
It’s no longer good enough for practices and practice owners to
sit idly by and allow these companies to dictate the appropriate
reimbursement for our services. We need to take a stand by
providing objective measures that support our value as providers in
workers’ compensation claims. The solution, although not always
clear, lies in our ability to proactively manage cases through the use

Loading, whether it is magnitude, mode, or modulation, critically
impacts the structure and composition—and therefore function—of
musculoskeletal tissues. Bone, cartilage, and muscles are exposed
to loads, not just during activities of daily living and sports, but also
during physical therapy interventions including exercise, manual
therapy, and movement retraining. In fact, physical therapists
are uniquely positioned to “tweak” the loading applied to these
tissues to obtain the desired response. Hence, understanding the
normal and abnormal response of these tissues to loading, and
understanding the role of magnitude, mode, or modulation of
loading on the tissue responses, can greatly benefit the clinical
practice of a physical therapist. This session will provide clinicians
with an understanding of (a) how articular cartilage, bone, and
muscle respond to unloading, normal loading, and overloading;
(b) how the response of these tissues changes depending on the

Cochrane reviews are considered the “gold standard” of systematic
reviews. They aim to synthesize evidence about the effectiveness
of interventions and utility of diagnostic tests to inform clinical
and policy decisions. More physical therapists need to be writing
Cochrane reviews on topics important to their practice. Find out
the basics of reading and applying Cochrane reviews—and the
basics of performing a Cochrane review from experts who know
systematic reviews from both sides as editors/reviewers and as
authors. Buchbinder is Joint Coordinating Editor of the Cochrane
Musculoskeletal Group and author of several Cochrane and other
systematic reviews; Hinman has authored several systematic
reviews; both are PTJ Editorial Board members. An interactive
presentation will show you “how to do it.”
Much controversy exists regarding proper shoe recommendations
for runners. Shoe companies offer hundreds of choices for runners
with options for pronation control, cushioning, shoe weight, heel
height, color, and more. However, no 2 shoes fit the same, due
in part to the variability of the runner’s foot and lower extremity
mechanics. This session will focus on the various features
commonly seen in the modern running shoe, the evidence behind
what these features do mechanically, and recommendations for
shoes based on form and function in the runner.

This session will discuss the design of plyometric training programs
for the shoulder. Many clinicians use plyometrics for the shoulder in
the terminal phases of the rehabilitation program; however, there is
limited science to support the best applications. The authors have
published the first Level I article in an Index Medicus publication as
well as several other publications on this topic. Recently completed
research will be presented to illustrate a progressive hierarchy for
introducing both open and closed kinetic chain plyometrics into a

Over the years, there has been a variety of treatments in both the
surgical and nonsurgical venues offered in the treatment of patellar
instability. Conservatively, PTs have employed taping techniques,
VMO strengthening, gluteal strengthening, and bracing techniques.
Surgically, the techniques have ranged from lateral releases to tibial
plateau transfer to medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction.
All the while, the sports physical therapist has taken a more
prominent role in the diagnosis and treatment decision making of
this all-too-common condition. This session will take the attendee

Risk of reinjury is associated with previous injury, and the decision
to safely return athletes to sports is a critical decision to the
practice of sports physical therapy but can vary greatly for similar
conditions and circumstances. The question of how quickly to allow
patients to return to sport after injury has driven clinical practice
and research for years. However, there’s a lack of consensus on
clinical factors for safe return to sports, especially in the cases
of specific musculoskeletal injury populations. This session will
address the clearance for return to sports in athletes with knee,
running, and overhead injuries and after total joint replacement, and
provide considerations for decision-making guidelines for return
to sports. Presentations and discussion will focus on development
and implementation of clearance for return to sports criteria in the

Evidence has shown that adult pelvic muscle dysfunction frequently
begins in childhood. The pediatric population is greatly underserved,
causing undue stress for the child and family as well as development
of internalizing and externalizing psychological behaviors. The 2
most common pelvic floor dysfunctions in the pediatric population
are dysfunctional elimination syndrome and bedwetting. This
specialty focuses on the treatment of children with day or nighttime
incontinence, fecal incontinence, and/or dysfunctional voiding habits.
This session will review common causes of incontinence in the
pediatric patient and a review of treatment approaches.

Obstetric fistula is a devastating childbirth injury afflicting an
estimated 2 million women worldwide, with 50,000-100,000 new
cases identified each year. Efforts to address this problem have
largely focused on surgical interventions to repair the hole that
develops between the vaginal wall and the bladder, rectum, or
both. Despite research that supports the role of pelvic floor physical
therapy in treating incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction
resulting from other causes, no literature exists to support preand postoperative rehabilitation for fistula repair. This course will
summarize the literature and current state of care with regard to
obstetric and traumatic fistula, maternal mortality and morbidity,
and the Millennium Development Goals. The session will describe
a comprehensive rehabilitation program implemented in the

The start of the therapeutic relationship can be the most important
factor in how the physical therapy episode of care proceeds. It can
also be the significant time to get crucial information and needed
for clinical reasoning and formulating treatment options for patients
as you put the whole patient puzzle together. Many clinicians take
for granted the “first impression” opportunity, but it is the initial
launch of the direction that your care will go as well as the buy-in
and motivator for your patients’ involvement. This session will share
principles of effective interviewing in a pelvic PT medicine model,
demonstrate ideal and poor skills with video examples, and provide
an overview of collecting pertinent information in the intake that
later can be evaluated for outcomes.

Urologic cancers include cancers of the bladder, kidney, penis,
prostate, testicles, urethra, and retroperitoneal tumors. Renal cell
carcinoma and transitional cell cancer (kidney/ureter/pelvis) may
also be included under urologic cancers. Some of these cancers
are quite common. For example, prostate cancer is the most
common cancer in American men. One out of every 10 men will
develop the disease at some time in his life, most often after age
50. Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer among
men and the ninth most common among women in the United
States. Each year, more than 50,000 new cases of bladder cancer
are diagnosed. Testicular cancer is the most common among
American men aged 15 to 44. Gynecologic cancers include cervical,
ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar cancer. These are the 5 main
types of cancer affecting a woman’s reproductive organs; a sixth
type of gynecologic cancer is the very rare fallopian tube cancer.
Physical therapists involved in oncology and pelvic floor dysfunction
interventions may encounter survivors of any of the abovementioned cancers. This session will equip therapists in a team
approach to the treatment of patients with impairments resulting
from these cancers. Our aim is to present the most current
research on these cancers and describe the signs and symptoms,
diagnosis, and treatment options. Physical therapy interventions will
be highlighted and the role of the PT on a multidisciplinary team
will be explored.

This session will focus on the causes and consequences of a thirdor fourth-degree perineal tear sustained during childbirth. This
pelvic floor injury is very common to women but is often ignored
until problems arise. As many as 87% of women have at least one
factor of perineal morbidity in the postpartum period. Instrumented
birth increases perineal morbidity regardless of perineal trauma.
Lack of awareness by patients increases their risk factors for
developing further pelvic floor dysfunction. Recent studies showed
only 29.2% of women were aware vaginal delivery was a risk
factor for fecal incontinence. Pelvic floor treatment options for
the consequences of these tears will be presented through case
studies, and research on current therapies will be discussed as well
as the potential for future research. The session will discuss clinical
guidelines for treatment of this injury as well as share a hospitalbased outpatient preventative program instituted to increase
referrals for treatment of these tears.

Graded motor imagery (GMI) and research regarding chronic
pain is highly focused in the areas of low back pain and complex
regional pain syndrome. The principals of GMI, although not
directly researched in the area of pelvic pain, can inspire treatment
techniques that can be applied successfully in a patient population
with chronic pelvic pain. This session will provide a brief overview
of the neuromatrix theory relating to chronic pain, graded motor
imagery, and several case studies that demonstrate application
treatment approaches inspired by these principals in successful
and unsuccessful patient care situations involving pelvic pain.

ACUTE CARE
CREATING VALUE BY ESTABLISHING A CULTURE OF

AC-3A-4870
Speakers: Mary Stilphen, PT, DPT, Michael Friedman, PT, MBA
Health care reform has reinforced the need for service delivery
models to focus on value by emphasizing efficiency and efficacy.
This need for system redesign and culture change, and the call for
innovation, presents an opportunity to overcome the longstanding
challenges of implementing an interdisciplinary mobility program
as a standard of care. Many patients are discharged from the
hospital in a physiologic state that makes them vulnerable to
medical complications. Physical disability, in particular, has been
identified as an important but potentially modifiable factor that
may contribute to hospital readmission risk. However, translation
of the evidence recognizing “the preventable harm of inactivity”
into interdisciplinary clinical practice has been challenging due to
provider attitudes and operational barriers. This session will review
the evidence supporting mobility in the acute care setting, identify
the opportunities for mobility to enhance outcomes or reduce costs
along the health care continuum, examine specific strategies to
leverage organization, and describe health care reform initiatives
to drive interdisciplinary mobility. The speakers will discuss
strategies to initiate, conduct, and evaluate an interdisciplinary
mobility model, demonstrate how hospitals can successfully
integrate many types of data to inform their decision making, and
describe practical strategies to measure success.

There is increasing evidence for the early mobilization of patients
in acute care settings. There is also evidence that multifaceted
patient handling programs are effective in decreasing injuries for
caregivers and improving safety. Advances in technology have
impacted all aspects of health care, including how therapists
provide hands-on care to patients. New devices can assist with
tasks and activities. The judicious use of equipment may promote
the mutual goals of improving rehabilitation outcomes while
increasing safety for both patient and therapist. Over a dozen
states have passed legislation requiring the implementation
of safe patient handling programs in health care facilities; this
number is expected to increase. The House of Delegates passed a
motion on the “Role of Physical Therapy in Safe Patient Handling,”
encouraging us to lead in the implementation and evaluation of
safe patient handling programs in rehabilitation settings. This
course will review the evidence for safe patient handling as a
strategy to reduce the risks of musculoskeletal disorders for
caregivers, and the evidence for early mobilization for patients
in acute care settings. Strategies for selecting equipment and
interacting with vendors will be presented.

Rising health care costs and limited therapist resources have
impacted physical therapists practicing in the acute care setting.
Acute care therapists function in a high-demand, fast-paced
environment due to the continual demand for therapy services, the
medical complexities of the patients and the misunderstanding
of the physical therapist’s role as part of the health care team. In
our institution, hospitalized patients sometimes failed to receive
optimal therapy interventions due to high demand for therapy
services and ineffective triage. A triage tool was implemented to
ensure that patients referred for acute services truly required such
interventions. A subsequent decision-making tool was developed
to ensure that only patients who required skilled services remained
on caseload. Leadership used the DMAIC (define, measure,
analyze, improve, control) model to structure the project and the
ADKAR (awareness, desire, knowledge, ability, reinforcement)
model to support practice change and standardization. This
interactive course will use an audience response system to engage
discussion about ways to objectively standardize patient care in
the acute setting to improve therapist efficiency and ensure highvalue services.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND EDUCATIONAL
STRATEGIES TO REDUCE IP FALLS
3:00 pm–5:00 pm
Galileo 906
AC-3C-4564
Speakers: Bridget McLemore, PT, Paula L. Goga Eppenstein, MS
The frequency of falls and fall-related injuries can be a challenge
for any institution. Substantial costs are associated with falls—
including the cost of care associated with injuries, increased
lengths of stay, poorer quality of life, and liability—as is a loss of
trust. In an inpatient setting, a multidisciplinary collaborative effort
is required by all key stakeholders to improve patient safety. The
strategies developed and used should address both management
and prevention in the provision of patient-centered care. This
session will describe how a multidisciplinary collaborative effort
was used in an inpatient rehabilitation center to enhance clinical
outcomes through a multistrategy approach. The presenters will
review falls statistics and related outcomes in an inpatient rehab
setting; provide an overview of several falls risk-assessment
tools and strategies; discuss steps for assessing and developing
education and training strategies; and demonstrate how project
management was deployed from a multidisciplinary approach.
Participants will have the opportunity to practice developing their
own project management plans during this session.

Among Medicare patients there are about 2.5 million
rehospitalizations within 30 days of discharge, at an annual
cost of $17 billion. Intervention studies suggest 20%-50% of
these rehospitalizations are preventable. High-risk patients
include those with heart failure, COPD, and longer stays than
expected. Physical therapists are uniquely positioned to design
and implement moderate, supervised exercise programs and
self-management programs to help alleviate the functional
impairments and disabilities associated with heart failure, to help
instruct in self-management and monitor for changes in health
status, and help patients achieve a higher level of function and
independence. Participation in a supervised program of exercise
and self management has been associated with a low risk of
adverse events and is regarded as safe. This session will provide
key components of an optimal heart failure program that can
be initiated in acute care and carried out in the home or in an
outpatient setting to provide self-management of the disease,
exercise, and monitoring.

but is a common location of undiagnosed dysfunction for patients
with pulmonary disease. This course will focus on the evaluation
of interrelated pulmonary diagnoses and pelvic floor dysfunction,
progressing to the development of an effective, evidence-based
intervention strategy. With an in-depth understanding of the
anatomy and physiology involving the relationship between the
pelvic floor and the pulmonary system, clinicians will be able to
properly assess and treat this specific patient population. This
course will also provide a fresh look at an effective review of
systems to help reveal pelvic floor dysfunction in the pulmonary

There is perhaps no more important skill for health professionals
than clinical reasoning, which is the bridge between one’s thinking
and decision-making processes and the ability to organize, use,
and develop knowledge in clinical practice. Educators could
benefit from a proposed learning trajectory for the development
of clinical reasoning skills, identifying key instructional strategies,
performance benchmarks, with links to examples of formative
and summative assessment methods. Critical to effective teaching
and learning is the ability of educators to make a “learning
diagnosis” for learners at various stages their development of
clinical reasoning abilities, with targeted facilitation of the learner
to intentionally address key issues. This approach must be coupled
with the facilitation of the learner’s ability to engage in critical
self-reflection in order to further develop clinical reasoning skills.
In this session, the presenters will propose a learning trajectory
with examples of proposed developmental milestones and targeted
clinical reasoning development and assessment strategies from
their experiences in both entry-level and residency education of
physical therapists.

One challenge in professional education is facilitating learners’
ability to bring together the technical and moral elements of
practice. Ethics education is an essential element in a doctorallevel professional curriculum. One barrier to effective ethics
education is that students may not see ethical reasoning as a
critical component of clinical reasoning. This session will provide
an organizing framework, key concepts, specific pedagogical
strategies, and assessment of students’ ability to engage in
ethical reasoning as part of their decision making process. A
primary theme for the session is that the link between clinical
and ethical reasoning is crucial to the professional formation of
physical therapists. The session will draw upon key experiences
and student outcome data from a curriculum model created by
Edwards, van Kessel, and Jones. Session discussion will focus on
specific pedagogical strategies, assessment tools, and lessons

Tobacco use constitutes 1 of the greatest threats to public health
worldwide. Smoking prevalence is 10% higher among people
with disabilities than in the general population, and the effects
may be magnified due to the clustering of other risk factors,
including obesity and a more sedentary lifestyle. Tobacco cessation
counseling is consistent with physical therapists’ and physical
therapist assistants’ scope of practice, and they are uniquely
positioned to provide such counseling due to the number of visits
during an episode of care. Unfortunately, fewer than 25% of
physical therapists offer tobacco cessation advice as a component
of care, and 75% of physical therapy programs nationwide do
not include training in tobacco cessation counseling. This session
will review evidence-based tobacco use management strategies,
including “The 5 As” and “The 5 Rs.” Discussion will include
screening for nicotine addiction, matching counseling to the
physical therapy diagnosis and patient’s readiness to quit, and the
use of community resources for additional referral. Participants will

Forty-five states include the use of trigger point dry needling/
intramuscular manual therapy (TDN/IMT) in the scope of physical
therapy of their state practice acts, yet this technique is relatively
unknown by physical therapists. Using acupuncture-type needles,
TDN/IMT is used to address biomechanical muscle imbalances
resulting in strength deficits, muscular/flexibility limitation, postural
dysfunctions, and painful/swollen/stiff joints. The purpose of TDN/
IMT is to encourage relaxation of trigger points, improve muscle
function, and stimulate neural pain control pathways (eg, gatecontrol theory, neurotransmitter activation, and opioid release) to
reduce or alleviate pain. TDN/IMT is a powerful adjunctive addition
to traditional treatment approaches in physical therapy. Presenters

were used to guide implementation of a pilot program, including
training, resources, and program content. This course is especially
geared toward clinicians in health care settings interested in
developing effective models for persistent pain treatment that
go beyond episodic care. Special emphasis will be placed upon
establishing the rationale for a collaborative biopsychosocial

Physical therapists, as experts in movement science, are uniquely
qualified to contribute to identification of older adults likely to
fall. While there are multiple measures being used to assess risk
of falls and effectiveness of balance, the underlying clinometrics
of such measures have not been fully evaluated. The GeriEDGE
Task Force on Risk of Falling Assessment was charged to identify
and vet key risk assessment and outcome measures to be used
for screening for falls risk for older adults across the continuum
of care, assessing outcomes of interventions aimed at improving
balance and reducing risk of falling, and providing guidance on
interpreting measures for CSM severity coding. Over the last
year, members of GeriEDGE performed a systematic review of
the literature to identify key measures, assessed the strength of
evidence on each measure’s clinometric properties, classified each
measure as a risk or outcome tool, identified which subgroup of
older adults or clinical setting the measure was most useful for,
and rated the strength of the measure, making a recommendation
about its usefulness/interpretation in clinical practice. This session
will report on the process and outcome of the GeriEDGE work
group.

Integrating standardized assessment into physical therapist
evaluation and intervention not only enhances individual patient
outcomes but also facilitates best practice for entire patient
populations. When used strategically and thoughtfully, standardized
tests highlight the effectiveness of physical therapy as an integral
part of rehabilitation after injury or illness and promote the
profession in prevention, health, and wellness. Unfortunately, many
therapists regard use of standardized tests as only obligatory and
tedious. On the contrary, though, standardized assessment can
enhance evaluation, intervention, and the development of goals,
rather than burden the busy clinician. This session will demystify
minimal detectable change (MDC) and minimal clinically important
difference (MCID) and elucidate their use in the selection and
administration of standardized tests. Additionally, the practical use
of standardized tools will be discussed as catalysts to generate
collaborative goals that include patients and their families or
caregivers, document realistic goals based on prognosis, develop
effective, functional intervention choices, and select and report

Diagnosing and managing the elbow can be a challenging and often
exasperating problem facing many physical therapists in general,
orthopedic, and hand therapy practices. This seemingly simple,
yet complex, joint can frustrate even the most seasoned therapist.
Keeping up with current evidence, effective clinical tests and

2 SNFs, and 42 outpatient settings. Prior to 2010, these sites
operated as independent entities. The establishment of Cleveland
Clinic Rehabilitation and Sports Therapy unified our organizational
and leadership structure around one brand, which allowed us to
leverage our critical mass and position ourselves for growth and
efficiency. The establishment of patient care paths, innovation of
technology platforms, and development of consistent outcome
measures all contributed to enhanced patient care. Professional
development efforts focused on performance metrics, enhanced
opportunities for education, and the creation of a career matrix.
Operational efficiencies were achieved through the development

Well-intentioned PTs and PTAs expend personal resources of time
and money striving to develop their practices, stay up-to-date, and
treat their patients/clients with proven interventions. Conscientious
PTs and PTAs seek employers that support their professional
development through continuing education and professional
involvement, and maximize those benefits. PT and PTA educators
prepare students with professional habits that foster lifelong
learning. Yet, like their physician and nursing colleagues, PTs and
PTAs suffer from stubborn clinical inertia of established practice
that thwarts necessary change provoked by compelling evidence,
consumer needs, or external threats and opportunities. Research
underscores the significance of organizational factors in medical
practice improvement initiatives. Humans are social beings;
behaviors and decisions that construct our professional practice
do not occur in isolation at the individual level, but within a social
context. This session will present the findings of a qualitative
research study within outpatient orthopedic practice that describes
the social and organizational factors and processes that support
innovation updates in the context of physical therapist practice.

and escalating service expectations is balanced with high
personal efficiency and productivity. Rampant regulatory and
reimbursement changes require rapid action plan development,
deployment, and assimilation. Emerging roles within accountable
care organizations and patient-centered medical homes demand
strategic thinking and tolerance for ambiguity. As catalysts for
change, managers will experience increasing tension between the
organization’s goals and their personal accountability for results.
Clinicians will experience personalized reactions to change and
stress. This presentation will describe the process for leading and
managing successful change endeavors, incorporating evidence
where available. Successful change begins with development of

Many home health physical therapy patients are taking multiple
prescriptions and/or over-the-counter medications. Although many
of these medications are directly related to their rehabilitation
diagnosis, some may not be, and drug-associated adverse events
are a major concern in this population. These patients also may
have special nutritional needs due to their higher prevalence of
chronic conditions such cardiovascular and pulmonary disease,
osteoporosis, and diabetes. Furthermore, contextual factors from
the ICF model, such as individual cultural preferences, time
orientation, and health beliefs, need to be considered to facilitate
the best possible health outcomes. As the physical therapy
profession progresses toward independent practice, therapists
must increase their understanding of how drug therapy, nutritional
components, and cultural factors can impact functional outcomes.
By doing so, therapists will be able to make changes in the
rehabilitation program and recognize the need for referrals and/or

Locomotor training (LT) is a task-specific therapy to promote
recovery of sitting, standing, and walking and physiological
functions after neurologic injury. For 7 years, 6 rehabilitation
centers have provided a standardized outpatient LT program for
people with spinal cord injury (SCI) through the Christopher and
Dana Reeve Foundation NeuroRecovery Network (NRN). Treatment
efficacy is robustly evaluated across function, health, and quality of
life. NRN integrates the expertise of scientists, physicians, physical

during positioning testing and particle repositioning maneuvers, a
working knowledge of normal and pathological semicircular canal
biomechanics can be indispensable. This session will illustrate
how fundamental biomechanical principles underlie normal motion
sensitivity by the semicircular canals and otolith organs, and
will explain the biomechanical origins of aberrant afferent neural
responses and symptoms of BPPV. Principles will be demonstrated
using physical models of the canals. Differential diagnosis and
particle repositioning maneuvers for PC- and LC-BPPV will be
discussed, as will the “ideal” particle repositioning maneuver for
PC-BPPV and LC-BPPV based on biomechanics. Case studies using
digital oculography recordings will demonstrate translation into
clinical practice.

How do we know if real change has occurred as a result of our
treatment? How are we to interpret the importance of the change
we’ve observed? The ability to determine whether a real change
has taken place as a result of treatment, and whether that change
constitutes important change, is critical for evidence-based clinical
decision making. This session will provide a conceptual framework
for the selection of outcome measures and interpretation of change
scores in the area of neurological rehabilitation. Presenters will review
important psychometrics of commonly used outcome measures and
will discuss considerations when selecting appropriate outcome
measures according to measurement, stage of recovery, and
care setting. They will discuss the application of specific outcome
measures’ psychometric properties related to sensitivity to change,
such as minimal detectable difference (MDC) and minimally clinically
important difference (MCID), and the limitations of interpreting
meaning of outcome scores across settings and patient subgroups.
Case studies will provide suggestions for how these indices can be
used to make change scores more meaningful to therapists, patients,
their caregivers, and payers.

Despite the technological developments in modern running
footwear, up to 79% of shod runners today get injured in a given
year. This may be explained, in part, by the fact that nearly 90%
of shod runners land on their heels when they run. This type of
footstrike pattern has been associated with common running
injuries. Barefoot running encourages a forefoot strike pattern
that is associated with a reduction in this impact loading. Studies
have shown a reduction in injuries to shod forefoot strikers
compared with rearfoot strikers. In addition to a forefoot strike
pattern, barefoot running also affords the runner increased sensory
feedback from the foot–ground contact, as well as increased
energy storage in the arch. However, barefoot running may not
be practical, such as when the ground is hot, cold, or rocky. As
barefoot/minimal footwear running is essentially exercise for
the foot, it needs to be transitioned slowly and preceded by a
focused foot-strengthening program. This session will provide the
background and rationale for barefoot/minimal footwear running
and describe a safe preparation and transitioning program. Case
studies will be reviewed.

Chronic pain is pain that extends beyond the expected time for
normal tissue healing. It often involves physiological changes
that amplify and perpetuate the pain. Approximately 30% of
Americans—70 million to 116 million individuals—live with
chronic pain. Clinical practice guidelines recommend integration of
behavioral management into care for all patients with chronic pain.
Physical therapists have an excellent opportunity to integrate these
approaches as we educate our patients, help them overcome fear
avoidance, gradually progress exercises, and help them return to
functional activities. This session will review pain physiology and
central sensitization and discuss how the mind-body connection
influences the pain experience. Several behavioral approaches,
which can be integrated into PT practice, will be described, such as
stress management, relaxation training, mindfulness, biofeedback,
coping skills, cognitive behavioral therapy, and graded exposure.
Throughout the presentation, cases will provide examples of
specific approaches applicable to a wide range of patients coping
with chronic pain due to fibromyalgia, low back pain, neck pain,
headaches, and other sources of chronic pain. This presentation will
discuss how physical therapists can help patients achieve the goal
of chronic pain self-management.

Practice guidelines have strongly supported the use of spine
stabilization exercises for patients with low back pain. However,
management of acute and chronic low back pain, according to
evidence-based guidelines, has not been shown to be economically
favorable. This calls into question whether spine stabilization
exercises are fully addressing the root cause of low back pain.
Recent evidence suggests that altered lumbopelvic mechanics
secondary to hip muscle weakness may play a contributory role
with respect to the development of low back pain. This session will
present a varied perspective in the evaluation and management
of low back pain patients based on a movement/biomechanical
paradigm. The primary focus will be on the identification
of movement impairments/compensatory strategies during
functional tasks (eg. gait, running, jumping) that may underlie
the development of low back pain. Potential causes of impaired
movement impairments will be explored and the implications for
clinical practice will be discussed. Clinical cases will be presented
to highlight the need for a thorough movement-based examination
so that intervention strategies can address the root cause(s) of
movement impairments in people with low back pain.

This session will offer clinicians the most contemporary and

management of nonarthritic hip pathologies. The session will
show participants how to examine the hip by layer, identifying
the mechanism of injury to determine whether the primary pain
generator is intraarticular, extraarticular, or referred pain from
somewhere along the kinetic chain. Layer I is osseous, Layer II is
inert, Layer III is contractile, and Layer IV is the neuromechanical
layer integrating components of the proprioception and the
kinematic and kinetic chain. Recognizing at which layer the
problem exists enables the clinician to provide the patient with
more educated outcome predictors. Recognition and management
of the underlying etiology using manual techniques, motor learning,
and progressive functional retraining has proven essential in
returning athletes back to a high level of competition.

functional consequences of mobility, there is limited understanding
of the association between mobility and psychological development.
This session will highlight the importance of motor and
psychological interactions during infancy with special emphasis
on spatial cognition. The course will review what is known about
the links between spatial-cognitive development and mobility,
discussing the distinctions between the various forms of mobility
(powered mobility, assistive devices, and crawling) and spatial
cognitive development. A major goal is to compare and contrast
spatial-cognitive development in the typically developing child
with spatial-cognitive development in a child whose mobility is
compromised by disabilities such as spina bifida. The session
will also describe crawling characteristics in typical and atypical

hypermobility syndromes within the context of a clinical practice
guideline (CPG). The process of developing the CPG will be
reviewed briefly and the content reviewed thoroughly. This CPG
provides an evidence-based resource for the management of EDS/
joint hypermobility syndromes in children and teens. This population
is often overlooked and struggles with joint pain, fatigue, and poor
tolerance to physical activity that significantly impacts quality
of life. The evidence supports the key role of physical therapy in
the management of this population and specifically indicates the
need for a modified approach to therapeutic intervention that is
progressed slowly and targets postural stability and endurance.
Comorbidities contribute to decreased function and quality of life,
and they must be considered when planning effective interventions.
Associated long-term effects of the joint hypermobility syndromes
may have a less detrimental impact on adult function and quality
of life when addressed proactively during childhood. There is
significant potential for physical therapists to contribute to the early
identification of this condition and to provide effective interventions.

While adults and children with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) experience
primary loss of sensorimotor function resulting in limitations of
mobility and everyday tasks, children are at an increased risk for
secondary complications due to musculoskeletal growth, social
maturation, and development (eg, increased rates of scoliosis,
decreased bone density, and hip subluxation). Locomotor training
(LT) will be introduced as an activity-based therapy extended to the
pediatric population ages 3.5-11 years through a funded study, the
Kids STEP study. The study asked if nonambulatory children with
severe, chronic SCI could recover walking function with intense
daily LT; and what descending neural tracts may be associated
with benefit from LT. Video case studies will demonstrate principles
of training, progression, and decision making. Outcomes will be
presented including recovery of walking, trunk control, communitybased steps, and quality of life. In addition, presenters will report
findings of neural tract tests and basic clinical tests of reflexes,
sensation, and strength. Immediate and long-term effects of LT will
be presented examining musculoskeletal growth, scoliosis, and

therapy students in service learning as part of the pediatric
curriculum may improve pediatric education by providing unique
opportunities for “hands-on” experiences while increasing the
number of hours students participate in pediatric instruction.
It may also provide opportunity for authentic interprofessional

families, and caregivers in communities with a shortage of pediatric
physical therapists. This session will discuss how to implement
service learning experiences that have clear educational and
community objectives, are well-integrated into the curriculum, and
promote academic and professional development. The session
will provide examples of how service learning has been used in

Do you want to move knowledge into action? Do you want to
be an author or a reviewer who influences patient/client care
across the profession? Knowledge translation for practice is a
specialized skill. PTNow.org is a website portal designed to make
it easy for clinicians to use evidence. In this session, PTNow
editors, authors, and reviewers will share their expertise and
experience in developing PTNow clinical summaries, which contain
the latest evidence on classification, screening, examination,
diagnosis, prognosis, and intervention in the management of
specific conditions in specific types of patients/clients. Clinical
summaries aren’t just words strung on a page—they come alive
with demonstration videos, links to actual tests, and discussion
forums. Participants will explore how evidence is being translated
on PTNow and then break into small groups led by editors, authors,
and reviewers to evaluate a clinical summary, identify common
pitfalls, and discuss strategies for bringing the best available
information to life for busy clinicians. This is your website—help it
shape the future of practice!

The Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System
(PROMIS) initiative has led to the creation of patient-reported
outcomes (PRO) measures that assess a broad range of patientrelevant domains. Many PROMIS tools are being validated for use
in specific populations and applied in clinical research studies. The
next step for these measures involves testing their use in clinical
practice. Several projects funded through the Patient-Centered
Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) focus on the refinement and
use of PROMIS measures in real-world settings. This session will
examine how PROMIS instruments can be used to simultaneously
impact clinical care, inform patient decision-making, and measure
outcomes to gauge the effectiveness of clinical interventions.
Presenters will describe the PROMIS health framework, the
scientific standards guiding instrument development, and the
current status of the pediatric instruments; an overview of the
related NIH Assessment Center, a web-based system that supports
administration and data collection using PROMIS instruments;
and an application of PROMIS tools in clinical research and care
of pediatric patients. Leaders in the pediatric PROMIS effort will
facilitate discussion about ways that PROMIS is advancing patientcentered care and outcomes research.

Overwhelming volumes of data are collected in the qualitative
research process. Traditional qualitative research tools have
included tape recorders, cameras, camcorders, notebooks,
and pencils. Emerging technologies such as the iPad and its
applications can streamline data collection for the qualitative
researcher. Combining video, audio recordings, photos, and
documents in 1 device potentially allows less-intrusive but
richly descriptive data collection in the field. To effectively use
these technologies, the researcher needs to be able to integrate
applications across platforms seamlessly, moving multiple sources
of data collected and stored on an iPad into companion software,
into transcription applications, and into qualitative data analysis
software. Furthermore, the researcher must appreciate the security
considerations and the budgetary allowances of using mobile
technologies for research. This Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
session will introduce an exemplar qualitative study that used
iPads as the primary data collection tool and the integration of
applications to support data collection through analysis. Participants
will practice various applications and brainstorm novel opportunities
that technologies offer. A panel of experienced qualitative
researchers will address logistical considerations of making the
transition from traditional methods to mobile technology.

is when we get an outright rejection and don’t understand why. A
very important skill as a researcher is to be able to interpret the

What is task specificity and what does it do or not do for our
patients? Physical therapy clinicians and researchers have different
opinions on the best way to approach interventions to improve

with poststroke hemiparesis to walk again or to decrease pain and
improve technique for a marathon runner. This session will address
these issues from perspectives of physical therapy researchers
who have taken different approaches to intervention. Leave your

This session will provide an in-depth review of each of the
specialized patient populations: acromioclavicular instability,
SLAP repair with and without biceps tenodesis, and recurrent
glenohumeral dislocations with subsequent chondral lesions that
are prevalent among the athletic population. This session will
examine the clinical presentation, surgical options, diagnosisspecific rehabilitation, and keys to returning to sport for each
condition. The presenters will discuss the importance of
understanding the patient population being treated, as well as their
clinical presentation.
Many lower extremity exercises are available to the practicing
clinician. Evidence-informed clinical decision making must be fully
elucidated for the physical therapist to prescribe exercises specific
to each lower extremity pathology. Biomechanical factors can have
a significant influence on the development and implementation
of therapeutic exercise. These biomechanical factors include joint
reaction forces, muscle electromyography, internal and external
torque generated, and joint kinetics and kinematics. This session
will focus on evidence supporting these various biomechanical
principles and how they affect common lower extremity
pathologies. Exercises specific to the hip, knee, and ankle joints,
as well as Olympic lifts, will be discussed with respect to common
pathologies.

Recent research suggests that abnormal lower extremity movement
behavior may contribute to various knee injuries, including tears
of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). As a result, movement
retraining is being advocated to improve lower extremity function
in people at risk for ACL injury or who are rehabilitating from an
ACL reconstruction. Two common approaches to address lower
extremity movement impairments involve muscle strengthening
and movement reeducation. Although both methods play an
important role in restoring optimal lower extremity mechanics, it
is important to understand the clinical and scientific rationale of
each approach. This session will compare and contrast the roles of
muscle strengthening and movement reeducation in changing lower
extremity movement behavior associated with ACL injury.

Working with golfers at various ages provides unique challenges.
Emphasis on fundamental movements is critical to the athletic
development of youth golfers and should take place before a sportspecific emphasis begins. Golfers in their late teens to ages 20-40
can focus on strength and power development, and the presenters
will discuss the best ways to accomplish this. As golfers reach
middle age, there is an increased risk of injury due to either faulty
swing mechanics or the repetitive nature of the sport. Presenters
will discuss 13 of the most common swing faults and relate them
to the most common injuries. They will also provide suggestions
for fixing and preventing these injuries. Golf can still be enjoyed by
players in their 60s, 70s, and 80s, and the presenters will discuss
the unique challenges that total joint replacements have on the
golf swing and suggest adjustments to positions to help place less
stress on joints.

Youth shoulder and elbow injuries and surgeries are increasing in
youth baseball, especially in pitchers, mostly related to overuse,
poor pitching biomechanics, throwing high-stress pitches, poor
conditioning, and inadequate education for parents and coaches.
Proper pitching biomechanics during overhead throwing, employing
pitch counts, and not pitching while fatigued can enhance
performance and minimize shoulder and elbow injury potential.
This session will provide current scientific evidence on pitching
biomechanics in youth, current pitch count data related to injuries,
and adequate recovery. Understanding pitching biomechanics in
youth helps trainers, therapists, physicians, parents, and coaches
eliminate injury at the shoulder and elbow and enhance pitching
performance. Even athletes who are not pitchers can enhance
performance through proper training and conditioning.

Running has become an increasingly popular form of physical
activity. Estimates suggest that the number of runners in the
United States has reached 14 million individuals over the past
several years. Running is a relatively cheap and effective form
of physical activity, making it a common choice of exercise for a
variety of people. However, running is not without risk. Recreational
and competitive runners alike can sustain injuries as a result
of improper training, poor running mechanics, and underlying
movement faults. Health care professionals, specifically physical
therapists, are becoming more involved with the evaluation and
treatment of running injuries. This session will provide information
that will enable the health care professional to thoroughly
evaluate the injured runner and confidently prescribe appropriate
intervention techniques. The session will highlight proper running
mechanics and describe common running injuries that occur
with improper technique. A movement system evaluation will be
described to identify specific impairments of muscle strength,
length, and recruitment that are relevant to the injured runner.
Specific interventions to modify running mechanics will be
discussed.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury continues to be prevalent
among athletes with serious long-term sequelae. ACL injuryprevention programs have shown some success in reducing the
injury rate. The research regarding rehab is constantly being
updated. In the recent years, a number of high-profile athletes, such
as Robert Griffin III and Adrian Peterson, have had a rapid return
to play (and at an extremely high level). This session will describe
the most recent research updates regarding ACL rehab and then
apply the old and new principles to create a return to sport/activity
program. The session will wrap up with a discussion on the recent

Estrogen (E2) was used by millions of women until 2002 when
the Women’s Health Initiative Study was abruptly and prematurely
halted. At that time millions of women were taken off E2, and
there is still reticence on the part of physicians to prescribe E2 for
women passing through menopause. This session will revisit the E2
question with an emphasis on women’s health and rehabilitation.
Many women undergoing rehabilitation are E2-deficient due to
menopause, surgical menopause, traumatic bodily injury, head
injury, spinal injury, and prolonged bed rest. Thus, the majority
of our female patients, of all ages, are hypogonadal. For women
at any age, E2 is a major determinant of bone health. There is
considerable emerging evidence that E2 is also a determinant
of muscle well-being and strength, and that it protects skeletal
muscle from injury. The presenters will explain the benefits and
risks of E2 to foster better decision making for patients and for the
rehabilitation process. They will also discuss alternatives to E2 and
visit the question of whether E2 should be considered a short-term
rehabilitation aid.

This session will discuss the anatomical relationships that drive
male genital pain. As is the case for women suffering from
pelvic pain, men who suffer genital pain are often misdiagnosed,
inappropriately treated, and left to navigate the medical system
without proper support. Pelvic rehabilitation providers are perfectly
situated to coordinate management of the patient with male genital
pain so that the appropriate medical screening is in place and the
neuromusculoskeletal impairments are properly identified. Theories
of psychosocial and emotional relationships to genital pain will
also briefly be presented. Topics covered may include anatomy of
the male genital area, nerve anatomy and pathology with referred
pain, medical conditions such as hernias, hydroceles, varicoceles,
and other potentially pain-causing conditions. Rehabilitation
interventions as well as common medical interventions will be
presented.

Dynamic anatomical and physiological changes occurring during
pregnancy and postpartum affect gait, balance, and lumbopelvic
stability, often resulting in pain during weight-bearing activities
such as standing, walking, and bed mobility. If the patient already
has an underlying mobility issue prior to pregnancy, her pregnancy
can be debilitating. Support belts or braces recommended by
well-meaning family, friends, or the Internet may not help, as each
device is made for a specific purpose. Physical therapists can
help their pregnant and postpartum patients maintain mobility
through education regarding biomechanical strategies and
recommendations for appropriate braces, belts, orthotics, or other
products. During postpartum, some new mothers have physical
challenges independent of “normal” changes associated with
pregnancy. Recent statistics indicate 2.8% of US parents with
children under age 18 (over 1.8 million parents) have a mobility
disability. Parents with mobility disabilities often face barriers
with common childcare activities including bathing, lifting and
carrying, transporting, and playing with their children. Physical
therapists can help this special population through assessment and
recommendations for appropriate commercially available baby care
equipment that can be readily adapted to promote independence
with childcare activities.

Physical therapists are qualified to provide labor support for
women in childbirth, providing beneficial continuous support with
specialized guidance on musculoskeletal considerations toward
optimal birth outcomes for mother and infant. The most recent and
largest systematic review of continuous labor support summarizes
the experiences of over 15,000 women who participated in 21
randomized controlled trials. Concluding that continuous support
during labor has clinically meaningful benefits for women and
infants and no known harm Compared with women who had no
continuous support, women with companions who were neither
hospital nurses nor in the woman’s social network were 28%
less likely to have a cesarean section, 31% less likely to use
synthetic oxytocin to speed up labor, and 34% less likely to rate
their childbirth experience negatively. Continuous labor support
has also been associated with a 40% reduction in forceps delivery.
This session will introduce and explore the unique and emerging
opportunities PTs have in supporting women during labor and
delivery.

stress and stress behaviors on the outcome of the pregnancy are
discussed related to preterm birth rates, low birth weight, and
fetal development. Depression and anxiety during pregnancy are
discussed with their correlation to preterm birth and preeclampsia.
High-risk pregnancy, antepartum hospitalization, home care,
and bed rest prescription each present their own unique set of
stressors. Physical therapists can be a source of incredible support
for these woman; these implications are discussed. Considerations
for the physical therapist working with parents in perinatal loss
