Course Objectives
Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
-
Differentiate between the pathoanatomical subtypes of spinal stenosis and their corresponding clinical presentations.
-
Accurately perform a differential diagnosis to distinguish neurogenic claudication from vascular claudication and other mimicking conditions.
-
Select and interpret appropriate patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and physical performance measures for individuals with spinal stenosis.
-
Design and implement an evidence-based, multimodal physical therapy plan of care centered on flexion-based exercises, neuromuscular re-education, and functional training.
-
Integrate occupational therapy interventions, including activity modification, energy conservation, and adaptive strategies, to enhance participation in daily activities.
-
Critically appraise the current evidence comparing the long-term outcomes of surgical versus non-surgical management for lumbar spinal stenosis.
-
Develop comprehensive rehabilitation protocols for patients both pre-operatively and post-operatively.
-
Apply clinical reasoning skills to complex case scenarios involving comorbidities and chronic pain.
