Course Description:
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease that is often misdiagnosed until later
stages. Because of this, therapists treating these patients for orthopedic and neurological issues
need to recognize the signs and symptoms for differential diagnosis. This course will guide the
therapist in advanced knowledge of diagnosis and intervention with the appropriate equipment
and therapies during all stages of the disease, including referral to and communication with other
health care professionals to manage the multisystem needs of these patients as they decline in
function. It will also guide the therapist in the types of equipment needed during each stage. On
completion of this course, the therapist will be able to apply proper tests and measures to guide
treatment. This course utilizes case study, lecture, demonstration, and patient video examples to
enhance learning.
