2022 Therapeutic Exercise Dosing for Patients with Neuromusculoskeletal Impairments

Course Description:
This course offers practitioners practical guidelines for the application of specific therapeutic exercises for patients with neuromusculoskeletal conditions. The philosophies of this course are based on a scientific understanding of connective tissues and exercise dosage. The course will include both lecture and lab demonstrations as well as emphasis on case study development and presentation in order to provide the participant with a “hands on” experience that will carry over into clinical practice.

Course Objectives:
At the end of this course, PT and OT will be able to:
• Define biomechanical nomenclature as it relates to exercise dosing.
• Describe the composition, mechanism of injury, and optimal stimulus for regeneration for the various connective tissues.
• List, describe, discuss and perform the optimal dosed stimuli for rehabilitation of patients with primarily neuromusculoskeletal impairments.
• Prescribe a specific dose of exercise based on the status of the tissue involved and the goals of the treatment.
• To design specific exercise progressions by performing exercises/activities related to revascularization/regeneration, coordination, endurance, speed, strength, and function.

At the end of this course, PTA and OTA/COTA will be able to:
• Define biomechanical nomenclature as it relates to exercise dosing.
• Describe the composition, mechanism of injury, and optimal stimulus for regeneration for the various connective tissues.
• List, describe, discuss and perform the optimal dosed stimuli for rehabilitation of patients with primarily neuromusculoskeletal impairments.
• Carry out the specific dose of exercise based on the plan of care.
• Modify the patients exercise as appropriate as it relates to the patients progression and tolerance for the exercise based on the specific dose described in the plan of care.
• Identify when the patient’s performance of the exercises/activities related to the specific dose are not following the plan of care as intended and immediately notify the PT and/or OT.
