Recorded on demand - The "Invisibles" Update: Chronic Pain, Dizziness, Functional Disorders and Anxiety as Related to your Rehabilitation Plan
Are you seeing more patients than you had been with an invisible condition? Are your differential diagnostic skills proficient enough to detect them when present? Do you feel confident that you are doing everything you can for persons with the biopsychosocial layers within chronic pain, functional neurologic conditions, persistent post concussion, or even persistent postural perceptual disorders. Could it be that these syndromes and disorders are related because of common dysfunctional neuroplasticity? If you feel that you have all of the answers to the questions posed above…then this course is not for you.
If you are not satisfied, but want to learn more, then be prepared for an enlightening application that delves into the neurophysiology and more importantly APPLICATIONS for all of these conditions.
This on-demand course is a recording of the live ZOOM course presented on April 23, 2022.
Mike Studer, PT, DPT, MHS, NCS, CEEAA, CWT, CSST, FAPTA practices in Salem, Oregon. He has been a PT since 1991, board certified in neurologic PT in 1995, and opened Northwest Rehabilitation Associates in 2005. He has been an invited speaker covering 49 states, 9 countries, and 3 continents speaking on topics ranging from cognition and psychology in rehabilitation, aging, stroke, motor learning, motivation in rehabilitation, balance, dizziness, neuropathy and Parkinson Disease. He is presently an adjunct professor at Oregon State University’s DPT program in Bend, Oregon, where he leads the coursework on motor control and assists the national network of neurologic PT residencies (Neuroconsortium) as well.

He holds a trademark in dual task rehabilitation and has a patent pending on the same. Over his career, Mike has authored over 30 journal articles, 6 book chapters, and routinely has clinical research projects in affiliation with one of many universities.
By the end of this course, attendees will:
1. Have a working knowledge enough to define, identify and examine: PPPD, FMD, chronic pain, and PPCS
2. Have a working knowledge enough to state evidence-based interventions for: PPPD and the umbrella of FND conditions.
3. Have a working knowledge enough to state evidence-based interventions for: chronic pain, persistent postural perceptual dizziness, functional neurologic disorders, and persistent post concussive syndromes (PCS).
- An update on "the invisibles” – the scope of the problem
