This month’s free courses from Physiopedia Plus (Plus) cover the cervical spine and spinal cord injuries, come and learn with us!
Following overwhelming positive feedback from physiotherapists and rehabilitation professionals who accessed the Overview of Cervical Spine Assessment course last month, this course continues as one of our featured courses that are available for anyone to complete for free with a Trial Plus membership, allowing more practitioners to benefit from this comprehensive clinical resource.
This course was amazing! It helped me improve my cervical assessment skills. The course included in-depth information about the assessment elements, a proposed classification for an easy diagnosis selection, and videos of cervical tests that might help with making a diagnosis” – Alice Scura, Physiotherapist from Australia
Alongside this, we’ve introduced a new free course for the month of August. The Overview of Spinal Cord Injuries will be our second free course this month and provides essential foundational knowledge for rehabilitation professionals working with this complex patient population. This course will be available as a free Trial course until the end of August only.
Every rehabilitation professional needs to take this course at some point – Patience Kyamazima, Physiotherapist from Uganda
The newly featured spinal cord injury course addresses a critical area of rehabilitation practice. Spinal cord injury can result in the loss of a muscle’s ability to generate power, sensation, and the ability to control the bowel and bladder, with rehabilitation efforts concentrating on preventing secondary complications due to mobility loss. This introductory course covers the history of spinal cord rehabilitation, aetiology, epidemiology, and complications of spinal cord injuries, as well as their classification, spinal cord injury syndromes, prognosis, and factors that affect outcomes.
State-of-the-art technology provides mechanical assistance for patients to relearn walking or moving their arms, and this course provides the foundational knowledge practitioners need to understand the complexity of spinal cord injuries. Whether you’re a newly qualified physiotherapist or an experienced clinician looking to expand your expertise, this course offers valuable insights into evidence-based approaches for this specialist area of practice.
