Educational Sessions 1RM Living: What Is It & What You Can Do About It “I can’t lift my laundry basket to do my laundry.”

“I can’t do more than 5 or 6 steps before I’m winded.”

“It’s getting harder and harder to get out of my recliner.”

Have you heard statements like this from your patients? As innocent as they sound, these statements may represent a larger issue that can greatly impact the quality of our patients’ lives. Join Dustin Jones, founder of GEROS Health (formerly Senior Rehab Project), to discuss the concept of 1 Rep Max Living - when one’s max capacity is near or less than the demands of life. We will take a deep dive into: Why this is an issue we should be aware of in our patients.

How we can identify those that are 1RM Living.

Ways we can help people avoid 1RM Living.

By the end of this educational session, participants will be able to: Discuss the concept of physiological reserve and how that applies to successful aging theories.

Identify strategies to screen and assess patients that may have limited functional reserve.

Perform specific strategies geared toward increasing functional capacity in the physical therapy setting.

Identify strategies to influence our networks and communities to preemptively build their capacity to mitigate functional decline later in life.

Dustin Jones, PT, DPT, CSCS is a Home Health Physical Therapist with a background in sports and orthopedics. He received his Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2011 from the University of Kentucky and went on to become a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), Russian Kettlebell Instructor (RKC-1), and CrossFit Level 1 Trainer (CF-L1). He blends what he has learned working with athletic populations to help older patients improve their function. The creator of GEROS Health (formerly the Senior Rehab Project), Dustin has been a key voice in shifting attention toward elevating the quality of care, and more specifically in many cases the intensity of care, that we deliver to aging adults. Dustin is lead faculty in the Older Adult division of the Institute of Clinical Excellence. He teaches Modern Management of the Older Adult with Christina Prevett.

The Increasing Relevance and Growth in Tele-Physical Therapy in Kentucky: Where are We Now, and Where are We Headed?

The tele-medicine and tele-health concepts have existed for two decades. Initially conceived and developed to benefit patient access in rural and under-served geographic areas and the purview of physicians and nurses, expansion has occurred to reflect patient access to additional professions including physical therapy.

The provider utilization of tele-medicine, tele-health, tele-rehabilitation and tele-physical therapy is growing rapidly through the confluence of readily available and supportive technology, clinical practice interventions, digital health, need for increased patient access, the health system transition to population health management and cost management, and support from regulatory statutes. This three hour presentation will provide an overview and the historical context of current tele-medicine and tele-rehabilitation; actual and potential clinical practice deployment with patients; multiple technology considerations for effective and safe use; insurance considerations, and explanation of the regulatory requirements in Kentucky.

Educational Sessions The Future of Outpatient Practice Inclusive of Imaging Privileges Currently, there are initiatives in many states to add imaging privileges to physical therapist practice consistent with physical therapists being primary care providers and the principal caregivers for those with musculoskeletal disorders. Is this a viable practice model? Is there precedent and evidence for this? What must occur within a jurisdictional and national level for this to evolve? What are potential drawbacks and threats from this expanded scope of practice? How can practitioners, group practices/institutions prepare for this change? These questions and more will be answered from educational, jurisdictional, national, and reimbursement perspectives based on current evidence and professional association activities. Strategies for moving these initiatives forward will be offered and discussion with audience participation will be encouraged.

By the end of this educational session participants will be able to: Understand the status of current imaging in practice initiatives across the US. Identify individual, group, and institutional strategies to prepare for imaging referral privileges as part of practice.

Understand the barriers to imaging in practice and the potential drawbacks to this expanded scope of practice.

He currently is serving in his second term as President of the Imaging Special Interest Group of the APTA.

Best Practices in Student Onboarding: Strategies to Optimize the Student and Clinical Site Experience Clinical education is a substantial and critical component of physical therapy education, and requires the support of clinicians and healthcare facilities alike. Increasing demands for quantity of student placements, as well as clinical site productivity expectations, drive clinical instructors to provide efficient and often hurried student onboarding process. Yet students remain in a vulnerable position and at increased risk of making costly mistakes if site-specific policies are not fully explained or understood during the clinical experience.

This presentation will help support clinical partners in completing a risk-analysis of their practice and incorporate best practices in onboarding processes to establish a positive environment for student success, reduce the potential for student error, and, hopefully, minimize workflow disruption. Participants will also discuss the future of clinical education, including alternative experiences and long-term sustainability for current clinical sites.

KPTA thanks Silver Sponsor, ProRehab Physical Therapy:

Physical Therapy Management for People with Temporomandibular Disorders and Headache Physical therapists (PTs) have a central role in the interprofessional team providing care for people with orofacial pain (OFP) which includes temporomandibular disorders (TMD), cervicogenic headache (CGH), and other forms of headache (HA). Proper diagnostic classification of the disorder and recognition of the central and peripheral mechanisms involved are critical in the prescription of targeted interventions. People with OFP are at risk for central sensitization, autonomic changes, and impaired descending pain modulation. To provide appropriate care for people with orofacial pain, it is important to recognize the signs and symptoms discerning central changes from peripheral contributors to pain. The objectives of this presentation are to: 1) Describe a systems screen to be used in the PT examination to determine the need for interprofessional referral 2) Provide a valid approach for PTs to examine, classify, and treat patients with headaches and/or TMD 3) Provide an evidence-informed approach to physical therapy and interprofessional management for people with peripheral generators of orofacial pain 4) Describe practical interventions for integration of selfmanagement and self-regulation care for people with chronic orofacial pain.
