Presented by Mike Studer
Nonfinancial: Mike Studer has no competing nonfinancial interests or relationships with regard to the content presented in this course.
This webinar will advance your clinical practice for persons with neuropathy, from examination through intervention. Be prepared to be challenged in some of your own understandings and beliefs about the various forms of neuropathy, including those caused by or originating from diabetes, vitamin B12 deficiency, toxins, chemotherapy, and unknown causes, as well as from familial, compressive (stenosis), inflammatory, infectious, autoimmune, and traumatic causes and more. This presentation will discuss small and large fiber neuropathies with sensory, motor, and autonomic involvement.
Learning Objectives:
- Determine five of the top eight conditions leading to neuropathy
- Design an impairment-based and functionally based examination for persons with lower extremity neuropathy of any origin
- Develop an evidence-based intervention program for clinical and home delivery that addresses the needs of persons with lower extremity neuropathy
- Distinguish rehabilitation from compensation in the restoration of occupational performance and function from neuropathy
