Agenda

Part I (1:10) Dr. Lichy performs an initial evaluation on a patient she has never treated before. You will see the subjective intake questions, objective tests and measures for upper extremity, trunk, and lower extremity impairments in a patient with right hemiparesis. You will also see the evidence based tools used to assess sitting and standing balance, and gait dysfunction.
Part II (1:20) Treatment following the initial evaluation includes innovative upper extremity, trunk, and lower extremity treatment ides in sitting and standing. Creative balance, transfers, and gait training ideas and tools are demonstrated. Progression, treatment ideas and home exercise plans are demonstrated & discussed.
Part III (1:10) Responding to questions from Dr. Lewis, Dr. Lichy explores her clinical decision making from the initial evaluation through the clinical decision process.
Part IV (1:20) Explore what and why specific treatments were chosen. Learn how to think about evidence-based practice and how to incorporate it into your daily routine.
