Do you ever feel like you really can’t do much with your patients functioning at a lower level? There is good reason for that. The studies on effective interventions for this population are not easy to find. But they are there, and they are good. If we use great proven protocols for our patients who spend their time in a chair or bed, we can get great results. But we must find what they can do and what works.
That is what this course is all about. Dr. Carole Lewis will bring to life numerous exciting, creative, proven, and innovative ways to work with our patients who really need our care.
Dr. Lewis will explain and show you all the assessment tools and interventions with a patient model with an emphasis on the interventions and how to progress the exercises and programs and how to be sure they are skilled. Enjoy a new refreshing look at giving care to our patients who are functioning at a lower level get great clinical treatments that you can use for bed mobility to standing, that will get results all the way up to gait balance improvements.
