Dr. Mary Derrick-Manis is an assistant professor (clinical) in the Department of Physical Therapy and Athletic Training at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah, where she teaches Tests and Measures as well as Musculoskeletal Management. She is also a PhD candidate studying the acquisition of pain beliefs in health providers, is a research assistant for a health services research laboratory, and teaches musculoskeletal physical therapy.
Mary has taught in a variety of residency and fellowship programs, including the Evidence in Motion Residency and Fellowship (Bellin College) and the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy Fellowship and Orthopaedic Residency.
Clinically, Dr. Derrick-Manis focuses her practice on treating patients with persistent pain as part of multidisciplinary pain programs. She also has expertise in the adaptation of manual therapy techniques for nontraditional provider body sizes. She obtained her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at Texas State University in 2013 and graduated from the Evidence in Motion Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy Fellowship program in 2016.

Presented by Mary Derrick-Manis, PT, DPT, PhD(c), OCS, FAAOMPT
Pain in the Knee: Integrating Evidence Into Patient Cases
Knee pain is the second most common cause of chronic pain, and one-third of all Americans report having experienced knee pain at some point. Three of the most common causes of knee pain are osteoarthritis (OA), patellofemoral pain (PFP), and ligament sprains. Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most commmon chronic and debilitating conditions worldwide, is associated with high economic costs and increased mortality, and is a common condition for any physical therapist treating in the outpatient setting. Therefore, a deep understanding of knee OA is a critical part of the skill set of any physical therapist who is an orthopedic specialist. PFP and ACL injuries are also extremely common conditions seen by orthopedic specialists. Both of these conditions have high incidence and variable prognoses, with more than 50 percent of people with PFP reporting issues five to eight years after treatment, and incidence of second ACL tears being 28 percent. In 2019, the APTA's Academy of Orthopedics developed a clinical practice guideline for the management of PFP. Likewise, a clinical practice guideline for knee ligament sprains was developed in 2017. This course reviews three cases of patients who present to physical therapy with complaints of knee pain.
Upper Extremity Neuropathies: Problem-Solving With Patient Cases
Presented by Mary Derrick-Manis, PT, DPT, PhD(c), OCS, FAAOMPT
Upper Extremity Neuropathies: Problem-Solving With Patient Cases
This course focuses on two challenging diagnosis puzzles. Upper quarter peripheral nerve problems and carpal tunnel syndrome can challenge even the best diagnostician. Clinicians must examine patients with these conditions carefully and analyse the problem in order to determine the best course of action. By following along with these case presentations, you will cover the course objectives, identify areas of additional study required, and refresh proper clinical reasoning for patients with upper quarter peripheral nerve problems and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Staged Approach for Rehabilitation Classification of the Shoulder
Presented by Mary Derrick-Manis, PT, DPT, PhD(c), OCS, FAAOMPT
Staged Approach for Rehabilitation Classification of the Shoulder
When treating the shoulder, it can be overwhelming to determine the right treatment. Having a systematic approach to collecting and synthesizing information to determine the appropriate interventions and vigor of interventions is helpful. In this microlearning course, we'll look at a patient case to introduce the Staged Approach for Rehabilitation Classification of the Shoulder, or the STAR-Shoulder. This classification incorporates the patient's pathoanatomical diagnosis, impairments, and irritability into the determination of intervention.
Assessment Approach for Cervicogenic Dizziness
Presented by Mary Derrick-Manis, PT, DPT, PhD(c), OCS, FAAOMPT
Assessment Approach for Cervicogenic Dizziness
The presentation of dizziness is complex, with multiple body systems being able to cause the symptoms. As clinicians, we need to be able to systematically screen multiple body systems to determine their potential influence on dizziness. This module will introduce a patient case that will serve as an overview of the elements that should be included as part of a comprehensive assessment for cervicogenic dizziness.
Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease: A Cause for Low Back Pain
Presented by Mary Derrick-Manis, PT, DPT, PhD(c), OCS, FAAOMPT
Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease: A Cause for Low Back Pain
Low back pain (LBP) continues to be the primary condition treated in outpatient physical therapy. There is much emphasis on classifications, assessments, and interventions for treatment of LBP. While it's understood that we need to consider neighboring regions during assessment and interventions, there have been a number of case studies published recently highlighting the importance of considering the vascular system for patients presenting with LBP and lower extremity symptoms. While a vascular cause may be less common, this module will highlight how lower extremity peripheral artery disease can contribute to LBP and will review the tests that can help identify peripheral artery disease.
Risk Assessment for Cervical Spine Manipulation
Presented by Mary Derrick-Manis, PT, DPT, PhD(c), OCS, FAAOMPT
Risk Assessment for Cervical Spine Manipulation
Treating the cervical spine makes a number of clinicians nervous because of the perceived risk associated with the region. In 2020, the International Federation of Orthopedic Manipulative Physical Therapists Incorporated (IFOMPT) updated their cervical framework for performing a risk assessment for the safety of using manual therapy to treat the cervical spine. This microlearning module will use a patient case to apply concepts of the 2020 IFOMPT cervical framework to perform a risk assessment.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Clinical Practice Guideline Review
Presented by Mary Derrick-Manis, PT, DPT, PhD(c), OCS, FAAOMPT
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Clinical Practice Guideline Review
In 2019, the APTA's Academy of Orthopaedic Physical Therapy developed the clinical practice guidelines for the management of carpal tunnel syndrome. This microlearning course will utilize a patient case to apply key components of these guidelines, including presentation, assessment elements, and appropriate interventions.
