    1 hour CE, Category A

    Course Description:

    Patients commonly present to the orthopedic outpatient setting with complaints of headaches, cervicalgia, and pain in the jaw region.  These patients can be challenging to the physical therapist that lacks the knowledge and expertise to evaluate and treat the symptom areas, anatomic culprit, and the contributing factors to this condition.  Hands-on manual assessment, clinical reasoning, and a targeted approach are critical to successful management.  The trigeminocervical nucleus in the lower brain ties the neck, head, and jaw together neurologically and helps us to understand why a dysfunctional neck can lead to jaw pain or headaches.  Improving our understanding of this relationship and how we, as physical therapists, can focus continuing education coursework on neck and jaw will lead to successful management of these patients.  

     

    Course Objectives: 

    • To recognize patients suffering from associated head, neck, and jaw complaints that will benefit from specialized physical therapy. 
    • Gain appreciation and understanding of the neurological interconnectedness in the head, neck, and jaw through the trigeminocervical nucleus.  
    • To understand the path towards learning the minimum skills necessary as a physical therapist to start treating associated head, neck, and jaw disorders successfully.  


    About the Speaker: 

    David Coletta, MPT, CMPT is the owner and founder (2000) of Excel Physical Therapy in Bozeman, Montana.  Over the past 27 years, David has specialized in the treatment of head, neck, and jaw pain, which has given him a unique perspective in treating this fascinating patient population.  David earned his manual therapy certification with the North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy (NAIOMT) in 2011.  He is currently a Fellow in Training for the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Therapy with NAIOMT.

    Course Description:

    More than 20 years of research, hundreds of papers, and multiple branded risk-reduction training programs have failed to decrease the rate of knee injury risk in women and girls, who are still 3-6 times more likely to experience an ACL injury than their male counterparts. Previous approaches to the problem have been uniformly biological in scope. This talk examines the potential psychosocial and cultural overlays to previous models of injury risk, from presport, training, and competition, to injury and the treatment environment. Discussion will include how these gendered models may apply to athletes in Montana specifically, with highly varied cultural expectations.

    Course Objectives:

    • Understand modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for knee injury and how they are affected by cultural expectations
    • Identify areas in which culture can affect movement
    • Identify situations in which we as physical therapists in Montana may be inadvertently contributing to the problem, and areas in which we might intervene

    About the Speaker

    Audrey Elias, PT, PhD, OCS

    Dr. Elias's overarching research interest involves determining risk factors for lower extremity (primarily knee) injury and the amelioration thereof, using different model populations. Her PhD work investigated changes in motor patterning following ACL reconstruction to decrease risk of secondary injury, and continues in collaboration within the School and internationally. Her post-doctoral work aimed to determine the effect of fear and pain on mechanical compensation patterns in landing, by utilizing a non-human bipedal population (laying hens) not subject to the same fears and motivations as humans, and continues with collaborations across campus with the Flight Laboratory and the University of Guelph. Dr. Elias's current work builds on both experiences, aiming to elucidate the effects of social structures on movement, investigating the effect of self-objectification on mechanical compensation patterns during landing in young women.

    She also contribute to health care utilization research through her work at the UMPT clinic both on campus and at Partnership Health Center.

    Course Description:

    This course will cover how physical therapy in a skilled nursing facility has changed over the years. In the author’s opinion, PT performed is much more robust than what it used to be. The information presented will cover many different types of programming that is utilized to allow for better quality of life for the short-term and long-term residents and how it can be measured utilizing the Medicare Quality Measure Ratings. It will also look at how much of the population is currently using SNF services for rehab and the
    projected population growth in coming years. To conclude the author will discuss some
    advantages of working in a skilled nursing facility, and the need for more physical therapists in the setting.


    Course Objectives:

    At the end of this course participants will have greater insight into the 

    following components of working as a PT in long term care:

    • Aging America
    • Experience and change of PT in SNF
    • Outcomes
    • Programming
    • Advantages and need

    About the Speaker

    Jen Wintle, PT, DPT earned her undergraduate degree at Oregon State University and her Doctor of PT degree at Pacific University. When entering PT school, she initially thought she
    would do outpatient orthopedics, but once in school quickly fell in love with treating neurological disorders. A native Oregonian she graduated from PT school in 2004, and much to her surprise, started working in skilled nursing. She then quickly started traveling as a PT, working in all settings except pediatrics. Jen settled into skilled nursing in 2008 and hasn’t changed since. She works for Eduro Healthcare as Lead Regional Therapy Resource. She met her husband on a travel assignment in Libby, MT, and they now have two daughters and a dog and enjoy all things outdoors together.
