4-dags kursus Breathing & Postural Control – A Pediatric and Adult Course (LINKED Course Part1+2 – Theory and hands-on labs)

Der er bindende tilmelding.
Dvs. at man ved afbud kan overdrage pladsen til en kollega (informere DSNF herom via mail) – men såfremt der ikke er venteliste til kurset faktureres man det fulde beløb når man er tilmeldt.

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.).
5. Use a ventilatory strategy algorithm presented in class to optimally match breathing with movements from bed mobility to athletic endeavors.
6. Apply concepts to a wide variety of patient populations from infancy to geriatrics.
7. Use a multi-system approach to evaluating motor impairments.
8. Identify the variations of “normal” breathing patterns and discuss the efficiencies/inefficiencies for individual patient conditions.
9. Evaluate need for, and demonstrate, appropriate neuromotor retraining techniques for patients with ineffective breathing/postural control strategies (health or participation deficits).
10. Participate in a live patient demonstration (if a patient is available) and suggest possible evaluation and treatment ideas based on the course material.
11. Design a targeted airway clearance program using the principles of mobilization, expectoration and oral management.
12. Demonstrate airway clearance techniques, with an emphasis on manual assistive cough techniques, and apply an airway clearance algorithm to specific patient conditions.
13. Identify thoracic cage/spine restrictions as they pertain to breathing mechanics and postural control (a very brief introduction of chest wall restrictions).
14. Evaluate the need for, and demonstrate, neuromotor retraining techniques to improve breath support for voicing and postural control (eccentrics).
15. Suggest immediate ways to incorporate the concepts into therapy activities in your clinical setting.
