LIVE WEBINAR APPROVED IN Illinois, Louisiana, Arkansas, Iowa and Utah. Check your state board for reciprocity

This course was created to improve PTs/PTAs understanding of Knee and hip arthroplasty, and their understanding of therapy from immdediately following surgery until discharge from therapy services with appropriate post discharge instructions. Most often joint replacement patients progress through therapy with minimal issue. However, many patients have residual deficits following surgery and therapy that could be remedied with adjustments to the therapy plan. Also, as therapists we have all seen the reticent Trendelenberg gait in the hip and the severely stiff knee that persists post surgery. This course will address these difficult patients and provide a plan for attacking the issues via treatment, and educate clinicians on when it is appropriate to contact the surgeon or encourage other treatment options.
Also, after attending this course the clinician will feel confident about knowing they have provided the best treatment available and be able to identify when it is time to stop therapy. Attendees Upon Completion: Will be equipped with the most up-to-date information on facing patients with knee or hip joint arthroplasty. Clinicians will be able to provide the rehabilitation treatments that lead to the best treatment outcomes. The breadth of knowledge obtained will allow realistic goal setting, identifiying difficult presentations earlier and aid communications with clients to establish good rapport, compliance and client loyalty. The knowledge obtained and skills learned will make the clinicians job easier!
