The TBI population is one of the most challenging for PTs to treat. Given the high level of adaptability and skill needed, both technical and interpersonal, we hold this annual training session to offer a unique setting for TBI clinicians to gather together. Clinicians will benefit from opportunities to share personal experiences and view these complex caseloads from a more holistic lens.

Join fellow clinicians for this 1.5-day, in-person course focused on advancing care for adults with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Through interactive, step-by-step patient case studies, live demonstrations, and shared clinical experiences, participants will learn to apply the latest evidence across the continuum of TBI rehabilitation.

• Apply the latest evidenced-based practices in adult TBI management through real-world case studies.
• Strengthen skills in movement systems diagnosis, evaluation, and intervention planning.
• Integrate outcome measures and holistic approaches to complex, multi-system cases.
• Gain practical tools for managing common co-morbidities associated with TBI.
• Analyze video case presentations to refine examination, diagnosis, and treatment principles for low-, moderate-, and high-functioning patients.
• Explore commonly overlooked topics: vision, behavior, learning, cognition, movement disorders, and pediatric considerations.

Learning Objectives -- Participants will be able to:

1. Describe the etiology and pathophysiology underlying TBI.
2. Develop a framework for physical therapy examination for patients with TBI.
3. Identify 3 common medical complications and comorbidities in individuals with TBI and discuss how they impact treatment planning.
4. Discuss the principles and practices of evidence-guided treatment for functions and activities of individuals with TBI.
5. Apply examination findings to optimize treatment planning and goal setting.
