Presented by Wendy K. Anemaet, PT, DPT, PhD, GCS, CWS, GTC, COS-C
Wound Healing: Wound Management
How do you treat a wound? Should you always debride? What type of dressing should you use with debridement? Are modalities necessary? Is one modality better than another? There are a lot of treatment options out there for enhancing wound healing. Knowing how to manage a wound effectively involves a good assessment followed by a solid understanding of what is necessary for wound healing and what interventions can assist. This course provides a four step process for wound management and describes rationale and techniques for the first two steps (cleaning thee wound and creating the right wound environment) that will aid therapists in the home and other settings as they effectively and efficiently manage patients with wounds.
Wound Care: Dressing, Positioning, Pressure Relief, & Risk Reduction
Presented by Wendy K. Anemaet, PT, DPT, PhD, GCS, CWS, GTC, COS-C
Wound Care: Dressing, Positioning, Pressure Relief, & Risk Reduction
How do you treat a wound? What type of dressing should you recommend? How do you protect the wound as it heals? Is there a way to reduce a patient's risk for developing a wound? There are a lot of treatment options out there for enhancing wound healing. Knowing how to manage a wound effectively involves a good assessment followed by a solid understanding of what is necessary for wound healing and what interventions can assist. This course builds on the four step process for wound management and describes rationale and techniques for the last two steps (maintaining a moist wound bed and protecting the wound) that will aid therapists in the home and other settings as they effectively and efficiently manage patients with wounds.
Physiology of Wound Healing
Presented by Wendy K. Anemaet, PT, DPT, PhD, GCS, CWS, GTC, COS-C
Physiology of Wound Healing
How do you know when a wound is healing as it should and when it could use an intervention to help it along? Wound healing is an amazing process that occurs in similar fashion for all wounds whether they are open or closed, regardless of their causative factors. A patient who sprains her ankle will by and large go through the same wound healing process as someone who develops a pressure ulcer. Understanding what occurs during this process of wound healing aids therapists in making well informed decisions about whether or not to treat and how to treat. This course provides the background physiological information that will aid in assessing and intervening with people who have wounds. Acute and chronic wound healing are compared and contrasted providing, the information needed to enhance wound healing for practitioners in the home and other settings.
Wound Healing: Wound Assessment
Presented by Wendy K. Anemaet, PT, DPT, PhD, GCS, CWS, GTC, COS-C
Wound Healing: Wound Assessment
How do you decide if you should treat a wound and what you should do for it? It all starts with a good assessment of the wound. Understanding the etiology of the wound, knowing the baseline status, and detecting prognostic factors aids therapists in making well informed decisions about whether or not to treat and how to treat wounds. This course provides assessment rationale and techniques that will aid therapists working with people who have wounds in the home and other settings.
Exercise Prescription in the Home: Stability & Motor Control
Presented by Wendy K. Anemaet, PT, DPT, PhD, GCS, CWS, GTC, COS-C
Exercise Prescription in the Home: Stability & Motor Control
It is well known that exercise can help patients at all phases of their rehabilitation, but what exercises are best for patients who lack stability, initiation, and motor control? In order to improve function and activity and progress safely into performance improvement and advanced skills, exercises prescribed during this time need to focus on facilitating stability and motor control. This course discusses the physiology behind stability, performance initiation and motor control, how clinicians can use a clinical decision making process for therapeutic exercise prescription, and practical examples of assessing and prescribing exercise for improving these areas. With this information clinicians enhance patient outcomes, safety, and optimal movement through appropriate use of exercise.
Exercise Prescription in the Home: Performance Improvement
Presented by Wendy K. Anemaet, PT, DPT, PhD, GCS, CWS, GTC, COS-C
Exercise Prescription in the Home: Performance Improvement
It is well known that exercise can help patients at all phases of their rehabilitation, but what exercises are best for patients who have strength, power, muscle endurance, balance, or aerobic deficits? In order to improve function and activity and progress safely into advanced skills, exercises prescribed during this time need to focus on improving muscle strength, power, and endurance, improving balance, and improving aerobic capacity. This course discusses the physiology behind performance improvement, how clinicians can use a clinical decision making process for therapeutic exercise prescription, and practical examples of assessing and prescribing exercise for these areas. With this information clinicians enhance patient outcomes, safety, and optimal movement through appropriate use of exercise.
Exercise Prescription in the Home: Advanced Coordination & Skill
Presented by Wendy K. Anemaet, PT, DPT, PhD, GCS, CWS, GTC, COS-C
Exercise Prescription in the Home: Advanced Coordination & Skill
It is well known that exercise can help patients at all phases of their rehabilitation, but what exercises are best for patients who have near normal strength, power, muscle endurance, balance, and aerobic capacity but just need to work on high level activities? In order to maximize function and delay declines, exercises prescribed during this time need to focus on advanced coordination and multimodal training. This course discusses the physiology behind advanced coordination and skill exercises including plyometrics, how clinicians can use a clinical decision making process for therapeutic exercise prescription, and practical examples of assessing and prescribing exercise for older adults. With this information clinicians bring patients and clients to their highest level of function through appropriate use of exercise.
Exercise Prescription in the Home: Tissue Healing
Presented by Wendy K. Anemaet, PT, DPT, PhD, GCS, CWS, GTC, COS-C
Exercise Prescription in the Home: Tissue Healing
It is well known that exercise can help patients at all phases of their rehabilitation, but what exercises are best for patients in the acute healing phases when edema and pain are present? It is important that exercises prescribed during this time not only help reduce the edema and pain, but also do not cause any further damage. This course discusses the physiology behind acute tissue healing, how clinicians can use a clinical decision making process for therapeutic exercise prescription, and practical examples of assessing and prescribing exercise for tissue healing. With this information clinicians enhance patient outcomes through appropriate use of exercise.
Exercise Prescription in the Home: Mobility
Presented by Wendy K. Anemaet, PT, DPT, PhD, GCS, CWS, GTC, COS-C
Exercise Prescription in the Home: Mobility
It is well known that exercise can help patients at all phases of their rehabilitation, but what exercises are best for patients with soft tissue and joint mobility restrictions? In order to improve function and activity exercises prescribed during this time one needs to enhance mobility without causing any setbacks. This course discusses the physiology behind soft tissue and joint mobility restrictions, how clinicians can use a clinical decision making process for therapeutic exercise prescription, and practical examples of assessing and prescribing exercise for improving mobility. With this information, clinicians enhance patient outcomes through appropriate use of exercise.
Clinical Decision Making for Exercise Prescription in the Home
Presented by Wendy K. Anemaet, PT, DPT, PhD, GCS, CWS, GTC, COS-C
Clinical Decision Making for Exercise Prescription in the Home
How do you decide what exercise and what dosage is appropriate for your patient? Therapeutic exercise is a mainstay of rehabilitation and one of the most effective interventions to address our patient's impairments, limitations, and restrictions. Having an evidence-based framework for determining appropriate exercise given the patient's current physiologic function and contextual factors is the basis for sound exercise prescription. This course discusses a clinical decision making process for therapeutic exercise prescription and provides practical examples of its use. This information will enhance exercise interventions for practitioners of all levels.
