INTERDISCIPLINARY WORKSHOPS

EVIDENCE-BASED INTEGRATIVE APPROACHES IN REHABILITATION

Faculty: LynnAnne Naples, OT/L, Joanne Azulay, PhD, Roger P. Rossi, DO, Caroline Zemkoski, OTL Description: Research evidence is suggesting that increasing numbers of patients are looking toward integrative approaches to complement their traditional medical treatment. Hospitals are also recognizing their potential and incorporating some forms of integrative therapy approaches into their treatment programs. This workshop will provide insight into the practice of mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR), yoga, Jin Shin Jyutsu® and nutrition and how they are being used within the Center for Head Injuries and other components of the JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute. Participants will have the opportunity to experience MBSR, Jin Shin Jyutsu® and yoga and leave with the basic knowledge to apply these approaches in practice. Educational Objectives: At the conclusion of this educational activity, participants should be able to: 1. Explain the concept of an evidence based integrative therapy approach. 2. Describe how mindfulness based stress reduction, Jin Shin Jyutsu®, yoga and nutrition

complement traditional western practices. 3. Experience hands on MBSR, Jin Shin Jyutsu® and yoga for the purpose of making an

appropriate referral. At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be asked to self-assess the achievement of these educational objectives. Program:

DESCRIPTION The JFK Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) is a standardized assessment instrument developed for the evaluation of individuals with disorders of consciousness. It is designed to facilitate diagnostic assessment, monitor neurobehavioral recovery and assist in the prediction of outcome. It is intended for use in acute medical settings, as well as rehabilitation facilities. The CRS was originally published in 1991 and the revised version was completed in 2004. The scale is currently being used in facilities in the United States and internationally. The purpose of this seminar is to provide comprehensive training on the CRS-R for current users, as well as those without prior experience. The course will review the criteria for differential diagnosis of disorders of consciousness (e.g. coma, vegetative state, minimally conscious state) and will provide training in the assessment, scoring and interpretation procedures for the CRS-R. The course will include group discussion of discipline specific and inter-disciplinary treatment applications using the CRS-R. Where available videotaped case studies will be illustrated. Audience participation is encouraged and will be elicited to facilitate the learning experience. EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES At the conclusion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

1. Describe the clinical features associated with severe alterations in consciousness. 2. Administer and score the CRS-R assessment protocol. 3. Interpret neurobehavioral findings generated by the CRS-R relative to level of neurobehavioral and neurocognitive function. 4. Outline and critique treatment interventions developed for individuals with disorders of consciousness.

At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be asked to self-assess the achievement of these educational objectives.

SERIAL CASTING: THEORY AND APPLICATION: A Hands-on Workshop for PTs & OTs

Faculty: Laura Fazzari, PT, DPT; Heather Jarvis, PT, MS; Allison Quitete, MS, OTR Lab Assistants: Patricia Higgins, MS, OTR/L; Sarah McCarthy, MS, OTR/L; Sejal Patel, PT; Richard Quitete, PT, MPT, WCC; Linda J. Thompson, OT Coordinators: Shelley Levin, MS, OTR; Laura Fazzari, PT, DPT Description: This workshop will give each physical and occupational therapist an opportunity to gain “hands-on” experience with the application of a serial cast. The workshop will begin with a lecture focusing on the theoretical foundation and clinical application of serial casting. The lecture will provide the prerequisite background information necessary for the direct “hands-on” experience. Following the demonstration of upper extremity and lower extremity cast fabrication, participants will have the opportunity to fabricate one cast. They will then have a cast fabricated on them and experience holding/positioning the limb of another participant as a cast is being fabricated for that participant. A brief discussion of advanced casting techniques will also be presented. Educational Objectives: At the conclusion of this educational activity, participants should be able to: 1. Discuss the theoretical basis and physiological rationale of serial casting. 2. Identify indications and contraindications to serial casting. 3. Describe facets of the clinical application of serial casting, including material

selection and integration into treatment planning and patient evaluation. 4. Fabricate an upper or lower extremity cast. 5. Describe clinical application of advanced casting techniques. At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be asked to self-assess the achievement of these educational objectives.

These treatment strategies will also be addressed through lab sessions. The use of new technology, including equipment and assistive/adaptive devices will additionally be covered, as it pertains to employing neuro handling strategies. The current evidence for the role of technology will also be discussed. The goal of this course is to provide the participant with a variety of treatment strategies, the rationale for their use, and the progression that may be utilized in treating patients with CVA. Educational Objectives: At the conclusion of this educational activity, participants should be able to: 1. Identify abnormal movement patterns that can be addressed with neuro handlng. 2. Demonstrate the ability to apply neuro handling strategies with bed mobility, transfers and

sitting activities. 3. Demonstrate the ability to progress to standing exercise to improve upright mobility and

progress to gait. 4. Demonstrate how to progress gait from maximal assist to independent levels. 5. Identify equipment and adaptive devices available in the rehab setting to assist with neuro

handling for exercise, functional mobility and gait. At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be asked to self-assess the achievement of these educational objectives.
