Ethics and Jurisprudence for the Physical Therapy Professional Licensed in Illinois
Presented by Calista Kelly, PT, DPT, ACEEAA, Cert. MDT
Text/Transcript
Course: #5006Level: Intermediate3 Hours
This comprehensive continuing education course equips Illinois licensed physical therapists and physical therapist assistants with a thorough understanding of both the ethical foundations governing professional practice and the Illinois-specific laws, regulations, and statutory requirements that define the legal boundaries of that practice. Drawing on the landmark 2026 APTA Code of Ethics for the Physical Therapy Profession, current Illinois Practice Act provisions, and emerging issues including artificial intelligence, social media, and moral distress, this course provides the knowledge and analytical frameworks necessary to practice with integrity, accountability, and confidence.

Managing Spasticity and Tone in SCI Rehabilitation
Presented by Lauren Young, PT, DPT, NCS, CSRS
Live WebinarWed, May 20, 2026 at 2:00 pm EDT
Course: #5396Level: Advanced2 Hours
This course breaks down the science behind why spasticity develops after spinal cord injury, how to measure it accurately, and what the evidence says about treating it. Along the way we will challenge common clinical assumptions and build a practical framework for deciding when to treat, when to hold back, and how to work effectively with the rest of the interdisciplinary team for better patient outcomes. Whether you are new to SCI rehabilitation or looking to sharpen your clinical reasoning, participants will leave with a practical outcome measure battery, an evidence-based intervention framework, and a working knowledge of pharmacological and interventional options directly relevant to their practice.

Cardiopulmonary Considerations in High-Level Spinal Cord Injuries
Presented by Lauren Young, PT, DPT, NCS, CSRS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5395Level: Advanced2 Hours
This course overviews cardiorespiratory dysfunction following a cervical or upper thoracic spinal cord injury. Given that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in individuals with SCI, this course explores the impacts of autonomic dysfunction, respiratory and skeletal muscle weakness, and physiologic adaptations on cardiopulmonary health. Participants will review relevant cardiopulmonary physiology, injury-specific pathophysiology, and advanced physical therapy evaluation and treatment strategies to optimize cardiovascular and respiratory function in this population.

Chronic Pain Management Through Aquatic Therapy
Presented by Andrea Salzman, MS, PT
Live WebinarFri, May 22, 2026 at 10:00 am EDT
Course: #5438Level: Introductory2 Hours
Discover evidence-based strategies for integrating aquatic therapy into chronic pain management. This introductory 2-hour webinar explores how water's unique physical properties—buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and thermal effects—create an optimal environment for therapeutic exercise in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Participants will learn the physiological mechanisms underlying aquatic therapy's effectiveness, practical protocols for common chronic pain conditions including low back pain, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia, and essential safety considerations. Through examination of recent clinical trials and systematic reviews, attendees will gain immediately applicable knowledge to implement aquatic therapy programs that reduce pain, improve function, and enhance quality of life for their patients.

Biophysical Agents for Pain Management: Current Evidence and Application
Presented by Michael Tautonico, PT, DPT, NCS, Christopher Voltmer, PT, DPT, PhD, NCS
Live WebinarFri, May 29, 2026 at 10:00 am EDT
Course: #5452Level: Advanced2 Hours
Biophysical Agents for Pain Management: Current Evidence and Application analyzes the current literature and contemporary approaches to the use of biophysical agents for pain management. High-level evidence will be synthesized and presented to update and guide clinicians on the biophysical agents best supported by research. This course will discuss both established and novel biophysical agents with evidence-based application.

Managing Traumatic Brain Injury Through the Rancho Los Amigos Levels of Cognitive Function
Presented by Christina Voigtmann, PT, DPT, NCS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5394Level: Introductory2 Hours
This course will describe the Ranchos Los Amigos levels of cognitive function and how these may impact therapy interventions in each stage. Clinical strategies to help manage behaviors will be delineated along with progressions of therapeutic intervention to support function as individuals progress through the various stages of recovery from brain injury.

Clinical Applications of Durable Medical Equipment for Activities of Daily Living
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS
Live WebinarWed, Jun 3, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #5460Level: Introductory1 Hour
Clients who use wheelchair seating and mobility equipment often have other durable medical equipment (DME) needs, as well. Durable medical equipment is typically used to assist activities of daily living and so clinicians are an active participant in selecting the appropriate equipment for a client’s needs. This course will address bath/shower equipment, toileting equipment, patient lifts, and adaptive car seats.

The Salzman Matrix: Combining Cognitive & Motor Tasks with Purpose
Presented by Andrea Salzman, MS, PT
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5381Level: Introductory2 Hours
Cognition and movement are tightly linked in functional activity, yet integrating them in rehabilitation can be challenging. While dual-task training is commonly used, poorly matched cognitive demands can interfere with motor performance and learning. This introductory course introduces the Salzman Matrix, an evidence-aligned clinical reasoning framework designed to guide purposeful cognitive–motor integration while minimizing interference. Participants will learn how to distinguish cognitive processes that support movement from cognitive demands that commonly compete with motor goals, and how to apply this framework to functional treatment planning and documentation across rehabilitation settings.

Navigating TN Jurisprudence for PTs and PTAs
Presented by Calista Kelly, PT, DPT, ACEEAA, Cert. MDT
