With the increased prevalence of outpatient referrals for persistent symptoms and activity limitations following COVID-19 infection, it is imperative that rehabilitation professionals be adequately prepared to manage patients with this condition.
This course will provide outpatient rehabilitation professionals with the most current evidence regarding the management of patients following COVID-19 infection. Included in this course are a review of the risk factors for COVID-19 infection, a review of the pathophysiology of COVID-19, and a presentation on examination techniques, monitoring principles, and potential modifications to rehabilitation programming for patients post COVID-19 infection.

As a potential first entry point into the healthcare system, the cardiovascular examination is a vital component of the clinical examination. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that the risk profiles for individuals at risk for the development of low back pain and osteoarthritis, the most common diagnoses treated by physical therapists, are nearly identical to those for heart disease. Common interventions utilized by physical therapists, such as resistance training, aerobic training, and manual therapy, all generate a hemodynamic response. Therefore, proficient competency in performing a thorough cardiovascular examination is critical for physical therapists.
This series of courses will train physical therapists and other rehab professionals on how to perform and interpret a thorough cardiovascular examination related to some of the most common conditions encountered in the clinic. Each course will include a review of the pathophysiology for each condition and introduce relevant examination techniques and interpretation. This course will cover topics related to cardiac valve disorders.

A thorough understanding of the physiological systems involved in human movement is necessary for rehabilitation practice. The respiratory system, which includes the lungs, pulmonary vasculature, and respiratory muscles, is a critical physiological system for all movement. There are many disorders encountered in rehabilitation practice where the respiratory system may be involved, such as pulmonary disease, obesity, spinal cord injuries, and even low back pain.
Each course in this series will review a different component of the respiratory system. This course will cover the normal physiology of the respiratory muscles and clinical conditions which may involve the respiratory muscles, as well as assessment techniques and rehabilitation strategies.
