Dixon Education and Training Center June 2-4, 2016 Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago 345 East Superior Street Chicago, IL 60611 Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago has been ranked Best Rehabilitation Hospital in America" every year since 1991 by U.S. News & World Report.
39 th Annual Interdisciplinary Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Course The RIC Academy is the not-for-profit, educational arm of the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC). We are dedicated to advancing the ability of healthcare professionals by sharing the latest scientific discoveries and clinical practices that are changing outcomes for patients around the globe. The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC) is ranked the Best Rehabilitation Hospital in America, in part because it fully integrates research, clinical care, and education, through the Continuing Education (CE) programs offered by the RIC Academy. COURSE DESCRIPTION This comprehensive blended course utilizes an interdisciplinary model to address and update spinal cord care by focusing on current research, knowledge translation and the latest developments in clinical practice. The course will discuss research related to mechanisms for neural recovery, with the focus on restoring walking and hand function in persons with SCI. Through an interwoven case example, the content will address knowledge translation and how to implement case information into practice. Successful completion: Participants will complete 4 hours of self study activities in advance of this two day course (earning 17.5 contact hours.) There is an option to attend a third laboratory day with an additional 1 hour of pre-work (earning 25.5 contact hours.) These self study activities for the SCI course will consist of webinars, readings and exercises to better develop the foundational knowledge that will be necessary for the in-person lab and workshops. While participants are welcome to complete all of the available pre-work, they will only receive credit for the assignments in their elected track. After registering for the course, you will be notified by email when online materials will be available During the onsite portion of the course, participants must sign in and complete an online evaluation. WHO SHOULD ATTEND Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Assistants, and Physicians (not offering CME) COURSE OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: Identify current research and trends in the neural recovery in persons with spinal cord injuries. Evaluate the evidence regarding the translation of knowledge into clinical practice. Discuss psychosocial, sexuality, hygiene and intimacy considerations for persons living with a spinal cord injury. Predict & Review air travel considerations for persons living with a spinal cord injury. Identify treatment and assessment techniques associated with seating and positioning, locomotor training or upper extremity training. Demonstrate performance skills of functional mobility, basic wheelchair skills or ISNCSCI assessment in persons with a spinal cord injury.

Managing Neurogenic Bladder and Bowel in the Person with Spinal Cord Injury ON-DEMAND WEBINAR Diane Rowles, MS, ACNP, BC, CRRN, Nurse Practitioner and Manager of Provider Relations, Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago; Assistant Professor, Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine
Facilitating Adjustment to Spinal Cord Injury ON-DEMAND WEBINAR Jeri Morris, PhD, ABPN, Board Certified Neuropsychologist; Assistant Professor, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine LAB DESCRIPTIONS: LABS A, B, C with Required Pre-Work (Choose 1) A) Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and High Repetition Task Training in Upper Extremity SCI This lab will provide hands-on practice of current evidence based neuromuscular interventions in upper extremity SCI with a focus on functional electrical stimulation and high repetition task specific training. Participants will also trial applications of virtual reality and gravity eliminated orthotics to support use of FES and high repetition training into clinical settings. *Prior to attending this workshop, participants must listen to a recorded module on a review of functional electrical stimulation usage and practice parameters in the individual with a spinal cord injury. Including the assessment, the module should take about 60 minutes and participants will receive 1 continuing education credit. B) Locomotor Training Strategies after Spinal Cord Injury (PT CEUs only) The goal of this lab is to briefly review evidence regarding the importance of specific training parameters of walking interventions applied to patients with SCI and to translate these findings with hands-on practice. Participants will work with individuals with SCI in delivering walking interventions that incorporate repetition, cardiovascular intensity, and task variability into training parameters. In addition, there will be group discussion and practice on problem solving for complex patients including education strategies, equipment, bracing, and harness set-up. * Prior to attending this workshop, participants must listen to an online module on locomotor training covering Errors and Variability. Including the assessment, the module should take about 60 minutes and participants will receive 1 continuing education credit C) Seating and Wheelchair Performance Adjustments: Putting it all Together for the Manual & Power Wheelchair The lab provides the opportunity for participants to trial various manual wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, seat cushions and back supports. Participants will be able to compare manual wheelchairs for weight, ability to fold, and adjustability. Rear wheel, mid-wheel, and front wheel power wheelchairs as well as a variety of controls can be accessed to determine how it feels to go forward, make turns, go up and down ramps and over bumps. Air, foam, and fluid/gel type seat cushions and back supports will also be available. Case examples and clinical reasoning will be reviewed in an interactive discussion. * Prior to attending this workshop, participants must listen to a recorded module reviewing the seating examination in the individual with a SCI. Including the assessment, the module should take about 60 minutes and participants will receive 1 continuing education credit.
LABS D,E,F with No Pre-Work (Choose 1) D) Functional Mobility and Mat Skills for Persons with SCI This interactive opportunity will review expected functional outcomes with various levels of incomplete SCI and complete SCI injuries. Instructors will discuss considerations that therapists should make while evaluating/treating persons with SCI and identify the contents of a thorough functional examination. Participants will review and learn transfer skills using manual and power wheelchairs, and mat mobility skills in a lab setting. Live and simulated patient case examples will allow for ample practice opportunities. E) Wheelchair Skills Training Lab In this hands on lab, participants will have a brief presentation introducing the importance of instructing patients with SCI in manual wheelchair skills, safety considerations, and demonstration and instruction of advanced wheelchair skills. Participants will have the opportunity to practice the following skills both in the role of the therapist guarding, instructing, and assisting, and in the role of a patient including: breakdown and assembly of lightweight folding and rigid wheelchairs, wheelies for negotiating unleveled surfaces, ascending and descending ramps and curbs, ascending and descending stairs, and righting a wheelchair. F) International Standards for the Neurological Classification of SCI (ISNCSCI) Performance and Assessment This entry level lab will discuss and differentiate the American Spinal Injury Association s AIS (ASIA Impairment Scale). The International Standards for the Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury will be reviewed with live and paper patient case examples. Students will have the opportunity to review the scoring and administration of the examination in a practical lab environment.
