1-dags kursus Breathing & Postural Control – A Pediatric and Adult Course (LINKED Course – Part 1 Theory and patient cases)

Målgruppe:
Fysioterapeuter, ergoterapeuter, sygeplejersker/ SOSA, læger, logopæder og bandagister.

Tilmelding er bindende. Ved afbud kan man give sin plads til en kollega (informere DSNF om dette via mail) – eller evt. én på ventelisten, ellers faktureres man det fulde beløb for kurset.

Intergrating Cardiopulmonary and Postural Control Strategies in pediatric and adult populations –Introduction and theory part. If you can´t breathe, you can´t function.
”Postural Control and Breathing”.
På 4-dagskurset får du hver kursusdag større viden om ”Postural Control and Breathing”. Du får en grundig viden om Mary Massery´s ”Soda Pop Can” model – Multisystem analysen. Dag 1 er primært introduktion og teori om emnet.
Dag 2 – 4 er mere praksis relateret.
Du lærer at analysere respirationsmønstre og får viden om, hvordan vejrtrækning påvirker truncusstabiliteten.
Du lærer, hvad du som behandler kan gøre for hver enkelt patient.
Den viden du får på kurset, kan bruges både i behandling af voksne og børn.

Kurset er opbygget med en vekslen mellem teori, praksis afprøvning, samt patientdemonstrationer.
Al undervisning på kurset er relateret til evidensbaserede artikler og fagbøger baseret på forskning. I kursusmaterialet medfølger en lang række relevante videnskabelige referencer.

This course, developed by Mary Massery, proposes a new definition of “core stability;” redefining it as the dynamic control of trunk pressures to optimize postural stability (balance). Dr. Massery’s “soda pop can model” links breathing mechanics to postural control using multi-system interactions. The speaker presents novel research demonstrating the role of vocal folds as postural stabilizers, extending the concept of “core stability” from the vocal folds on the top of the trunk to the pelvic floor on the bottom. The course starts with this theoretical information and quick interventions (positioning and ventilatory strategies), and then shifts to detailed hands-on techniques as the course progresses: assessing “normal” breathing patterns, learning neuromotor breathing retraining techniques, practicing numerous manual assistive cough techniques, and introduces musculoskeletal techniques for the rib cage. Multiple clinical cases and two live patient demonstrations (if available) will be used to strengthen the concepts. The course is applicable for any pediatric or adult patient (or therapist) who breathes and balances!

Læringsmål for kursisterne:
At the conclusion of the course, participants should be able to:
1. Describe how trunk pressures link breathing and postural control using the Soda Pop Can Model.
2. Describe the multiple, simultaneous roles of the diaphragm as related to breathing, postural control, gastroesophageal reflux, constipation, and venous return.
3. Demonstrate the role of the vocal folds in normal postural stability responses (balance) and make the case for using speaking valves for patients with tracheostomies.
4. Position patients for optimal physiological and biomechanical support of breathing with simple equipment (towels, pillows, etc.).
