The non-weight bearing patient can be a challenge in the rehab environment, especially when two or more joints are involved
This patient population needs the skilled attention of a therapist to provide a progressive program within his/her weight-bearing restrictions that provides the needed proximal control and muscle length and strength preparation for when the weight bearing restrictions are removed. This course will provide the therapist with a problem-solving approach for this patient population and review a large battery of interventions to address any weight bearing restriction. A mix of video, lab, and discussion will assist the therapist in immediately applying this information to his/her patient caseload. Both ortho and neuro patients will be considered.
