Course Description:

Identifying optimal intervention strategies for patients with spinal cord injury can be very
challenging for clinicians. Some of the most concerning and frustrating aspects can be when
patients are limited by respiratory complications, decreased sitting tolerance, skin issues, and
range of motion deficits. In addition, limitations seen with shoulder pain can have significant
impact on the functional abilities of these patients. These restrictions can be seen early on in
acute care, all the way until many years post injury. Having specific strategies to address these
challenges is a priority. In this course, J.J. Mowder-Tinney guides clinicians through a practical
approach to the above issues for individuals recovering from spinal cord injury with a variety of
levels of injury. This course involves demonstrations with real patients who have cervical- and
thoracic-level injuries to illustrate interventions that will optimize the independence of patients.
This course is appropriate for PTs, PTAs, OTs, OTAs, and nursing and can be utilized in any
patient setting.
