North American Seminars Inc. Introduces a New Physical Therapy Continuing Education Course, Diabetes Related Orthopedic and Cardiovascular Disorders
Research studies provide supportive evidence for the use of clinical exercise testing and prescribed exercise programs to decrease risk factors for complications related to diabetes. Physical therapists are treating patients for many types of orthopedics and cardiovascular issues everyday, understanding the impact of diabetes is critical to achieving the best patient outcome.
Franklin, TN, February 25, 2011 --(PR.com)-- North American Seminars, Inc. introduces a new physical therapy continuing education course, Diabetes Related Orthopedic and Cardiovascular Disorders - An Evidence Based Course using Therapeutic Exercise Programs for Treatment and Prevention. In addition, to prepare for this course a new online continuing education course on diabetes provides a foundation of learning to prepare the therapist for the live course. This online course, Fundamentals of Diabetes for the Rehab Professional is available at www.healthclick.com.
Here is an overview of the live continuing education course:
Diabetes is a chronic, metabolic disease that can cause multiple cardiovascular, neuromuscular and musculoskeletal complications, all of which can result in physical disabilities and early death. Research studies provide supportive evidence for the use of clinical exercise testing and prescribed exercise programs to decrease risk factors for complications related to diabetes. Further, evidence indicates that clinical exercise testing and prescription is effective in improving physical function in patients with diabetes who have cardiovascular, neuromuscular and musculoskeletal disabilities. However, patients with diabetes have specific clinical exercise testing and prescription needs and therefore, must be tailored to the patient. This two-day, advanced course provides practical information pertaining to recent research findings of the use of clinical exercise testing and prescription for people with diabetes to improve functional impairments and prevent complications. The application of clinical exercise testing and prescription to treat people with diabetes who have or are at risk for various cardiovascular, orthopaedic and neurological conditions is highlighted. This course describes how the findings of recent studies can be immediately applied to clinical practice, including rehabilitation outcomes and reimbursement, and consists of a combination of dynamic lectures, lab sessions and small group discussion of case studies. At the conclusion of this course, clinicians will be provided clinical practice tools such as a checklist of contraindications for exercise in patients with diabetes, a diabetes-specific exercise evaluation form, spreadsheets for measuring outcomes of exercise and functional tests, and a collection of recent research studies on exercise for people with diabetes.
This course will be presented in the following locations:
March 5 - 6 Ft. Lauderdale, Florida at North Shore Medical Center
March 26 - 27 Las Vegas, Nevada at Summerlin Hospital
April 9 - 10 Tacoma, Washington at Multicare Medical System
September 24 - 25 Portland, Oregon at Providence Portland
October 15 - 16 Jacksonville, Florida at St. Vincent Healthcare
