Description |
Individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP) are able to live long, fulfilling, and active lifestyles. This course will explore the unique health and rehabilitation considerations, both clinical and surgical, that help these individuals maximize function and mobility from birth through adulthood. We will discuss the decision making that is an integral part of patient management as an interdisciplinary team. Furthermore, we will explore the transition to adulthood and what that means for these individuals’ access to healthcare and specific providers, independence, and community involvement. We will review an ideal model of care for patients with CP including the use of outcome measures, research tools and new technologies. Day 1 will focus on early detection and lifespan management of CP, as well as therapy dosage recommendations and equipment that promotes independence. Day 2 will address debated conservative vs. surgical orthopedic management, as we consider cases on tone and spasticity management, aging, and transition.

In order to receive contact hours, daily sign in and completion of an on-line evaluation are required. Participants will complete 2.25 hours of online, self-study activity in advance of this two-day course which will help provide a foundation for the in-person case review on spasticity management.
