Geriatric syndromes are clusters of symptoms commonly seen within the older adult population. While most clinicians are familiar with the basic concepts of polypharmacy, neglect/abuse, malnutrition, and failure to thrive, the extent to which these phenotypes affect our patient care are rarely considered, even by seasoned healthcare professionals. Furthermore, failure to identify, manage, and integrate interventions to address these problems within our patient populations can result in poor patient outcomes, limited sustainable progress, and unsuccessful carryover of intervention. This results in patients who are ineffectively managed and become frequent fliers within the system. This course will include a lecture component and case studies to promote understanding of geriatric syndromes and the role of the physical therapist in managing them to promote best patient care and overall outcomes.
Heidi Moyer, PT, DPT, CEEAA; Sally Fisher, PT, DPT; and Mitchelle Calderon, PT, DPT share their insight and expertise on "Geriatric Syndromes 2.0: Identification, Clinical Management, and the Role of the Physical Therapist".
What to expect:
Objectives:
By the end of this lecture participants will be able to:
- Compare and contrast 4 common geriatric syndromes to effectively identify them within the older adult population.
- Appraise and apply how each syndrome commonly manifests within the context of patient case scenarios.
- Distinguish how each phenotype can impact patient outcomes, progress, and carryover of intervention.
- Design and prescribe appropriate interventions to manage the root causes of each syndrome.

The purpose of this course is to provide practicing clinicians with an overview of some practical tips to consider when developing and implementing a research project in the clinic. We will begin with formulation of a focused research question. Examples of alternatives to traditional research studies will be provided as well as suggestions to successfully balance the daily demands faced by clinicians with the tasks required to develop and execute a research project. Guidance on the development of alternative research methods such as, a case report, case series, retrospective study, and quality improvement projects will be provided. The course will also present ideas to assist with the successful writing of a research grant and abstract worthy of acceptance. Practical examples of the implementation of some of these strategies will be included.

In recent years greater attention has been given by our profession to the role of diagnostic imaging in physical therapy (PT) practice. Educational content related to diagnostic imaging is now required for PT program accreditation. Military PTs and all other civilian first contact providers routinely utilize diagnostic imaging in this critical decision-making process.
As more therapists continue to step into direct access roles, it may be beneficial to evaluate how referral for diagnostic imaging may impact clinical decision making and ultimately enhance patient care.
According to Illinois law, PTs are required to determine what conditions fall outside our scope of practice and to make referrals to appropriate healthcare providers when necessary. At times, a radiologist will be the most appropriate provider to refer to.
This session will explore how the referral for diagnostic imaging studies by PTs can impact clinical decision making and ultimately lead to enhanced patient care. Multiple cases will be reviewed in which imaging results directly led to an alternative course of management.
Aaron Keil PT, DPT shares his insight and expertise on "Direct Referral for Diagnostic Imaging in Physical Therapist Practice."
What to expect:
Objectives:
By the end of this lecture participants will be able to:
- Cite appropriate research that supports granting physical therapists privileges to order imaging studies directly.
- Describe the impact diagnostic imaging can have on clinical decision making when ordered appropriately.
- Prepare effectively to answer common questions and concerns over granting therapists diagnostic imaging privileges at your institution.
About the Speaker
Aaron Keil PT, DPT currently serves as clinical associate professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He has spoken at national conferences on the topics of direct access and diagnostic imaging and has provided guidance to several institutions across the country who are pursuing these initiatives.
Dr. Keil served on the authorship committee for the APTA-sponsored white paper ‘Diagnostic and Procedural Imaging in Physical Therapist Practice’ and he has published articles on this topic.

As PTs and PTAs we often interact with individuals who do not understand the importance of and the power behind making healthy lifestyle choices and the ability to implement wellness into their lives. The vision of the American Physical Therapy Association is, “Transforming society by optimizing movement to improve the human experience.” Movement can be less than optimal for many reasons, and the human experience can be less than ideal due to various challenges throughout life. The profession of Physical Therapy is well placed to identify the multitude of issues that may be contributing to the overall presentation of a patient, as well as creating a complete plan of care that will carry a person beyond discharge to become independent and well-informed to stay healthier. As the profession evolves, so should our knowledge about how to best meet the needs of people seeking recovery, health, and true wellness. In this course, the topics of motivational interviewing, risk factor identification, evidence-supported education, and the importance of proper tissue loading will be discussed and synthesized into a lifestyle strategy that will discharge your patient to a life of wellness, not just a home program.
