Monday Jul 24, 2023
Arthrofibrosis, also known as joint contracture, is a pathological wound healing disease characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis of connective tissue in and around a joint, resulting in severe pain, marked loss of joint mobility, and diminished functional independence in daily life. It is most prevalent in the hip, elbow, and knee following exposure to physical trauma such as surgery, prolonged period of immobilization, or infection. In the shoulder, it typically occurs idiopathically and is known as adhesive capsulitis. In some cases, the disease may become permanent and, in rare instances, can result in amputation of the affected limb. Physical therapists are often the first members of the healthcare team to encounter an individual struggling with arthrofibrosis. Thus, early identification of the disease and proper clinical management are integral in preventing and/or minimizing its potential deleterious effects on an individual’s daily function and overall quality of life.
This #THIRDTHURSDAY lecture will be a joint presentation, given by a physical therapist experienced in treating individuals with arthrofibrosis alongside a leading scientific researcher in the field. Arthrofibrosis and its clinical implications for the treating clinician will be discussed in detail and include a specific emphasis on arthrofibrosis of the knee following surgical intervention (e.g., s/p ACLR, TKA, meniscectomy). A current scientific understanding of arthrofibrosis and its pathological mechanisms will be presented first, followed by the presentation of common clinical markers for its early recognition in the clinic. Proposed best physical therapy practices when treating individuals struggling with arthrofibrosis will also be presented accompanied by relevant case studies. The presentation will conclude with a Q&A session amongst the presenters and lecture attendees.
Dr. Nathan Brimm, PT, DPT & Dr. Kayley Usher, PhD shares their insight and expertise on "Understanding Arthrofibrosis and Its Clinical Implications."
What to expect:
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe the difference between arthrofibrosis and chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
- Understand the pathology of arthrofibrosis
- Identify clinical features of acute and chronic arthrofibrosis of the knee
- Identify the anatomic structure in the knee primarily involved in arthrofibrosis
- Evaluate appropriate physical therapy interventions for treating individuals struggling with arthrofibrosis
- Discover alternative interventions and resources outside of physical therapy practice for individuals struggling with arthrofibrosis
About the Speakers:
Dr. Nathan Brimm, PT, DPT works as a physical therapist in the Outpatient Rehabilitation department at Weiss Memorial Hospital located in Chicago’s North Side. Nathan received his undergraduate degree in Kinesiology from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Northwestern University. Over the past several years, Nathan has come in contact with countless individuals struggling with arthrofibrosis, especially following orthopedic surgeries such as ACL reconstruction and revision total knee arthroplasty. It is from these experiences that Nathan has sought to learn more about arthrofibrosis and its harmful effects in order to best optimize long-term clinical outcome of individuals suffering from this unyielding disease.
Dr. Kayley Usher, PhD received her PhD from the University of Western Australia and is an Adjunct Lecturer in the School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Western Australia. Kayley has a research background in immunology and microbiology, and her journey with arthrofibrosis began after a total knee replacement. Her experience of the “black hole” in awareness and understanding of arthrofibrosis created a passion to inform and educate people. Drawing on her scientific understanding of fibrosis, Kayley wrote a review paper called "Pathological mechanisms and therapeutic outlooks for arthrofibrosis", published in Nature Bone Research in 2019. Since this time, she founded the International Arthrofibrosis Association where she provides scientifically referenced information about the pathology of arthrofibrosis and treatment options and provides support.

Alzheimer’s and Dementia: What Are We Forgetting? (1 CE hour)
Thursday Jul 06, 2023
Thursday Jul 06, 2023
Today, more than five million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease, and 220,000 of these live in the state of Illinois. As the Silver Tsunami continues to roar towards our shores, the need for comprehensive and evidence-informed clinical management for our patients with dementia is more vital than ever. Increasingly, individuals with cognitive impairments caused by dementia are coming into contact with a variety of professionals across all healthcare settings.
Due to the underpreparedness of our healthcare system in managing the complex needs of this patient population, the state of Illinois is requiring mandated training for all licensed healthcare professionals who see patients aged 26 or older. One hour of CE on dementia training is required each licensure renewal period effective January 1, 2023. This presentation serves as an introduction for physical therapy professionals on pathology, effective communication strategies, basic clinical care planning on dementia and the scope of practice of the physical therapy professional.
This course meets the 1 hour Alzheimer and Dementias training required by the State of Illinois.
The Dementia Training Mandate for Illinois healthcare professionals was signed into Law in the summer of 2021. For license or registration renewals occurring on or after January 1, 2023, all licensed healthcare professionals (as defined in Public Act 102-0399) in Illinois, who have direct patient interaction with adults age 26 and above will be required to complete at least a one-hour course in training on the diagnosis, treatment, and care of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias per renewal period. A health care professional may count this one hour for completion of this course towards meeting the minimum credit hours required for continuing education.
What to expect:
Objectives:
By the end of this lecture participants will be able to:
- Appraise the prevalence of dementia in the population, including the most common types of dementia and underlying causes
- Communicate effectively and compassionately with individuals who have dementia, with sensitivity and in a way that is appropriate to the person
- Build a plan of care to address the physical therapy needs of patients with dementia
