  Choosing to Change the World
       Presented by Michael Bowers, APTA Chief Executive Officer
The APTA has established the vision for the profession of “transforming society by optimizing movement to improve the human experience.”
Physical therapists and physical therapist assistants change the world every day in their interactions with those in their care. Collectively,
the impact of the profession is profound. In this talk, we will explore how individual physical therapy professionals can prepare themselves
for greater leadership and service, how collectively we can embody the vision, and how through collaborative action transformation can
occur. We will consider how to embody the vision for the profession to transform society, from individual interaction and relationship, to
effective advocacy.

                                     Presented by David Deppeler, PT, DSc
                              Over breathing is more prevalent in our society than once thought. This presentation will include modules
                              ranging from a history of the importance of breathing to recognizing what a good breath looks like to
                              demonstrating ways to breath correctly. The presentation will also cover the Nijmegen Questionnaire and a
                              Self-Evaluation of Breathing Questionnaire.

                              A2 The Evaluation and Management of Temporomandibular Disorders (TND):

                                      Presented by Stephen M. Shaffer, PT, ScD, FAAOMPT
                              This session will review clinically relevant highlights pertaining to the temporomandibular joint and associated
                              disorders. Content areas will include basic anatomy, pathoanatomy, arthro- and osteokinematics, and region
                              specific pain science. There will be an emphasis on research informed content whenever possible with a focus
                              on clinically relevant information. By the end of this session, participants should be sufficiently aware of the
                              material to facilitate an improved understanding of the evaluation, diagnosis, and conservative management of
                              temporomandibular disorders (TMD).

A3 Returning Runners To Training: Coaching Implications For Therapists Beyond The 10%
                         Rule – Part 1
                               Presented by Daniel B. Love, PT, DPT
                      Running injuries are among the most common sports injuries seen in Physical Therapy. In a classic review
                      article, van Gent et al. demonstrated a 19.4 to 79.3% incidence of lower extremity running injuries. Most
                      of these injuries are soft tissue in nature and can be treated in Physical Therapy with a successful return to
                      training. Much research and continuing education focuses on the evaluation and treatment of runners and has
                      been successful in helping many therapists become comfortable in working with this population.
                      Presentation to include: epidemiology/etiology review of running injuries, basic running anatomy and
                      physiology review, brief history of running coaching philosophies, sample running plans for 5k to marathon
                      distances.

                      A4 Resistance Exercise Training For Children Of All Abilities
                             Presented by Barbara Johnson, PT, MSPH, PhD
                      The objectives of the presentation are to increase awareness of resistive exercise training in pediatric physical
                      therapy, to increase knowledge of guidelines for resistive exercise training for children, to describe expected
                      outcomes, and provide an example of translation of knowledge to clinical practice.

                      B1 Clinical Reasoning For Physical Therapists
                               Presented by Cindy Zablotny, PT, DPT, NCS
                               Marcey Keefer Hutchison, PT, DPT, SCS, ATC, CMP
                      This session is designed for the therapist who is interested in integrating the principles of clinical reasoning
                      into their everyday practice. The presentation takes participants from theory to practice addressing the
                      physical therapist from entry level practitioner to advanced clinician. The presentation begins by examining the
                      cognitive and affective traits that are necessary for clinical reasoning. The dual process theory of cognition is
                      explored as a means of reconciling analytic and nonanalytic thinking. This area of the presentation broaches
                      the difficult topics of heuristics and pattern recognition and how reliance on these affective strategies can
                      result in diagnostic and procedural error. Analytic modes of reasoning are paralleled and proposed as methods
                      of reasoning which rely on logic and analysis to minimize error. Self-reflection is discussed and placed within
                      the framework of the American Physical Therapy Association’s patient management model of care as well as
                      the ICF. Participants engage in small group discussion and write their own self-reflection script to be used
                      as a prompt for future clinical reasoning. Cognitive dispositions (bias) is examined and clinical examples
                      highlight various forms of bias. Case-based reasoning is designed to help participants understand when bias
                      is occurring and resulting in diagnostic and other procedural errors. The culmination of the presentation places
                      theory and practice into the arena of advanced clinical decision making with case studies to coalesce the
                      topics which have been explored.

                      B2 The Evaluation and Management of Temporomandibular Disorders (TND):
                         Part 2 – Conservative, Musculoskeletal Examination, Diagnosis, and Management Techniques
                             Presented by Stephen M. Shaffer, PT, ScD, FAAOMPT
                      This presentation will review clinically relevant highlights pertaining to conservative, musculoskeletal
                      examination, diagnosis, and management techniques pertaining to the temporomandibular joint and
                      associated disorders. This will involve the presentation of a template that can be utilized to guide both
                      examination and management for those clinicians not currently comfortable or confident doing so as well as
                      a review of relevant diagnostic criteria. There will be an emphasis placed on peer-reviewed content whenever
                      possible with a focus on clinically-relevant information. By the end of this session, participants should be
                      knowledgeable in how to perform basic examination, management techniques for temporomandibular
                      disorders, and begin the process of incorporating this skill set into their clinical practice.

B3 Returning Runners To Training: Coaching Implications For Therapists Beyond The 10%
                                 Rule – Part 2
                                      Presented by Daniel B. Love, PT, DPT
                              Returning to full training is often the final goal of most runners; however, runners often do not receive guidance
                              from physicians, therapists, or coaches on how to return to running to optimize recovery, prevent re-injury, and
                              maximize performance. A basic understanding of traditional and modern coaching can help therapists guide
                              their patients to a safe and timely return to running and help therapists successfully and comprehensively
                              complete the treatment of a running population.
                              Presentation to include: updates on injury prevention research in runners, updates on performance
                              enhancement research in runners, basic coaching program design, Monday morning takeaways, and question
                              and answer session.

                              B4 Mindfulness Toward Responsive Plan Of Care Development In Pediatric PT
                                       Presented by Ryan Jacobson, PT, DPT, PCS
                              The Pediatric Section of the American Physical Therapy Association has identified dosing in pediatric PT as a
                              priority area for advancing research, and that call to action explicitly recognizes the importance of child and
                              family engagement. (Kolobe, et al.) Pediatric PTs have limited published evidence to guide Plan of Care (POC)
                              development, and our systems within which we work are often a constraint with regards to the complex POC
                              decision making required to meet a child/family’s changing needs.
                              The purpose of this presentation is to invite and empower pediatric PTs to create more customized, responsive
                              POCs in their own practice, toward the end of affecting positive whole-life outcomes for the children and
                              families we serve. The session is intended to be engaging and interactive, offering opportunities for active
                              discussion and deliberate self-reflection. The perspective offered here will challenge the attendee and
                              presenter alike to wrestle with our perceptions and practices in light of current theory and limited evidence.
                              Attendees will:
                              • Consider potential determinants of meaningful whole-life outcomes for families of children with special
                                  needs
                              • Describe the concepts of readiness & critical periods in the context of motor control / motor learning
                                  theory
                              • Receive and appraise a summary table of recent evidence on pediatric PT treatment dosing
                              • Identify one concrete action toward more customized, responsive Plan of Care development that can be
                                  reasonably implemented immediately in their own practice

  Set Up to Fail? Proving the Value of a PT in a Fee-For-Performance Industry
      Presented by Jerry Henderson, PT
In today’s fee-for-performance healthcare environment, physical therapists are set up to fail. While primary-care doctors and physicians are
increasingly being paid for the highly specified quality of their treatments, PTs are still unable to financially take advantage of the switch to
value-based reimbursement models. Why? Because physical therapists do not have a way to describe and classify their work in returning
people to full function, which is their core value. Instead, current diagnostic and procedural codes describe disease and injury care. In other
words, the diagnostic coding system does not speak the language of PT: functional movement and improvement.
Henderson, believes that the outpatient rehabilitation industry must standardize its reporting around performance-based patient tests that
demonstrate true functional progress. To date, this type of data has not been embraced by the PT industry because it was not needed in an
industry based in fee-for-service reimbursement models.
This presentation will:
• Identify the underlying problems with fee-for-service codes
• Provide solutions and standards for implementing functional-based testing and outcomes reporting Guide practices to transition to
    value-based reimbursement models and receive complete reimbursement for the valuable services they provide

                 C1 A Pragmatic Approach to Finding, Understanding, and Applying Research to Clinical Practice
                          Presented by Erik P. Meira, PT, DPT, SCS, CSCS
                 The profession of physical therapy has a history of using evaluation approaches and interventions that have
                 not been validated by research. As the profession embraces evidence-based practice, many clinicians have
                 a difficult time wading through the sheer volume of research, differentiating between higher and lower quality
                 research, and knowing how to apply that to their practice. Evidence and its varied levels can be manipulated
                 to support many different biases. Experience of the provider combined with cherry-picking evidence through
                 confirmation bias can bring the physical therapist far from the ideal of evidence-based practice. This session
                 will address these issues while exploring the inherent nature of scientific exploration of ideas.

                 C2 Contemporary Strategies in Assessment and Management of Musicians with Playing
                    Related Upper Quarter Injuries – Part 1
                          Presented by Carlee Uhrich, PT, COMT
                 The purpose of this two-part workshop introduction is to educate clinicians and students about playing related
                 musculoskeletal disorders as they relate to the cervical spine, shoulder and thoracic outlet. Musicians sustain
                 high rates of injuries compared to individuals who work in other industries that involve repetitive movements
                 over long periods of time. They often do not seek medical attention, and when they do, they have a low rate
                 of symptom resolution. Clinicians who work with musicians should be aware of specific demands related
                 to practice and performance in the same way sports medicine therapists have knowledge of the specific
                 demands of sport.
                 This session focuses on string instrumentalists, as they have the highest rate of documented injuries. Students
                 will learn to recognize risk factors, including both intrinsic and extrinsic, and how these risk factors can be
                 minimized when possible. Each instrument has specific postural demands and these demands may lead to
                 dysfunction and/or injury. Instruction will include practice with observation and evaluation techniques related
                 to musicians’ upper quadrant motor control, both with the instrument as well as away from the instrument.
                 The student will learn how to develop appropriate interventions, including self-management techniques and
                 exercises to address specific deficits.

                 C3 Lower Quarter Functional and Return To Sport Testing: Advancing Beyond Hop Testing
                         Presented by Nicholas Hagen, PT, DPT, SCS, CSCS, USA-W1
                 Recent data has shown hop testing and isokinetic testing continue to serve as gold standards in lower quarter
                 return to sport analysis. However, poor rates of return to play associated with injury recurrence have shown
                 there is more to determining readiness for a safe return to sport. The purpose of this educational session is
                 to familiarize the clinician with an array of lower quarter functional testing activities that go beyond the classic
                 measurements for strength and power. We will review testing activities for balance, strength, power, and
                 endurance, as well as screening tools for quality of movement. The audience will leave with a progressive
                 criterion-based testing algorithm that assesses the complete lower quarter function of the athlete. An in-depth
                 review of the literature with a focus on validity and reliability of current testing measures will be described.

                 C4 Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: New Concepts in Conservative Management
                         Presented by Lisa M. Flexner DPT, DMT, CSCS, FAAOMPT
                 Physical therapy has not historically been used to manage idiopathic scoliosis, and families express frustration
                 with the classic “wait-and-see” approach. New research and approaches may help fill the gap between
                 diagnosis and surgical intervention, as well as limiting or preventing curve progression in some patients.
                 This talk will cover the epidemiology and pathomechanics of idiopathic scoliosis as we currently understand
                 them. It will then explore new evidence-based approaches to management, including updates on bracing and
                 scoliosis-specific exercise such as the Schroth method.

                 This session will give you a chance to hear local authors share platforms outlining recent cases. There will
                 be time for questions between each speaker. This is a great opportunity to expose yourself to a different
                 perspective on a patient case, and potentially gain a few clinical pearls from some local experts.

               D3 Conservative Management of Hip Pathologies Including Hip Osteoarthritis, Fai and Labral
                  Tears with Special Focus on Patient Education in Home Manual Therapy and Therapeutic Exercise
                        Presented by Tony Rocklin PT, DPT, COMT
               There are millions of individuals suffering from some amount of pain and personal disability related to hip
               osteoarthritis, FAI and labral tears. The dramatic increase in prevalence is related to increasing obesity
               rates, aging of our populations and improved diagnostic capabilities. The majority of individuals with hip OA
               who see an orthopedic surgeon are told that they have a problem, but they are not yet bad enough for hip
               replacement. There is no cure so relatively few individuals are referred to physical therapy for treatment. We
               know that we are not treating the arthritis but the secondary effects of the arthritis in which there are a variety
               of treatments that have been proven effective to keep people moving with less pain until they are ready for
               surgery. In addition, many individuals who have been diagnosed with FAI and/or labral tears are not able to
               have arthroscopic surgery because they are just outside the window being a certain age and having some
               amount of osteoarthritis. Surgeons know that performing arthroscopic surgery on these individuals can lead
               to abnormal increase in degenerative changes prematurely resulting in THR. To make matters worse, even if
               the patient is a candidate for surgery, with the rising numbers of patients who need surgery combined with
               the shortage of orthopedic surgeons, there are tens of thousands of patients in the queue for months. Based
               on recent literature, there are millions of individuals who are either not eligible for surgery or are 6+ years
               away from surgical intervention. There is no cure for these pathologies and during the delay from diagnosis
               to surgery, they are becoming inactive, worsening in their orthopedic condition and increasing their risk for
               co-morbidities related to inactivity such as heart disease, obesity, cancer, diabetes, depression and addiction.
               New advances in physical therapy have been proven effective for improving mobility, functional outcomes and
               pain reductions. Due to insurance limitations and expenses, patients cannot have ongoing physical therapy
               in the long term. They need to learn new and effective ways to perform independent home manual therapy
               and therapeutic exercise without the assistance of another person. This session will focus on educating
               physical therapists on new and modern methods for Conservative Management of Hip Pathologies including
               Hip Osteoarthritis, FAI and Labral Tears with special focus on Patient Education in Home Manual Therapy and
               Therapeutic Exercise.

               D4 Applying The Clinical Practice Guideline For Torticollis To The Evaluation And Treatment
                  Of Children With Congenital Muscular Torticollis
                        Presented by Erin Bompiani, PT, DPT, PCS and Crystal Bridges, PT, DPT
               Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are becoming commonly used documents to help inform clinicians’ about
               best practice based on available evidence. They can help optimize care by serving as a framework for clinical
               decision making while supporting best practice. The APTA is supporting the development of CPGs as part of
               its strategic plan. This presentation will discuss methods for developing and using CPGs. The speakers will
               identify evidence-based evaluation and treatment strategies for children diagnosed with congenital muscular
               torticollis using the APTA Section on Pediatrics clinical practice guideline, Physical Therapy Management
               of Congenital Muscular Torticollis. Current evidence since the development of the guideline will also be
               discussed.
               This presentation will:
               • Review the incidence and etiology of congenital muscular torticollis (CMT)
               • Define clinical practice guidelines (CPG) and discuss their importance to clinical practice
               • Explain the methods used for developing CPGs for the APTA’s Section on Pediatrics
               • Describe the methods that clinicians use for how to implement the Section on Pediatrics CPG for the
                    evaluation and treatment of children with CMT
               • Review research that has been published since the development of the guideline
               • Discuss the importance of early identification and early referral of infants with CMT and how the CPG
                    might be useful in providing education to referring health care providers
