 MSOTA Coastal District Meeting/Free CEU Event

The MSOTA Coastal District Co-Chairs, Tanner Lee and Dalton Frederick, will be hosting a meeting/free CEU event on July 30th at Encompass Health and Rehab from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.  Christa Anderson, OTR/L will provide a 2.0 hour session on "The Hemiplegic Upper Extremity:  Treatment and Management of Shoulder Subluxation while Promoting Functional Recovery." This session will provide participants with the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to effectively evaluate, treat, and manage shoulder subluxation in individuals following stroke (CVA). Participants will learn to identify the most common types and causes of shoulder subluxation, recognize its clinical presentation, and implement evidence-based treatment and management strategies throughout the rehabilitation process and amongst various settings. The course will include instruction and demonstration of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and therapeutic taping techniques to support shoulder alignment and function. Additionally, participants will gain an understanding of the Functional Upper Extremity Levels (FUEL) assessment, including its administration and application to writing functional, patient-centered treatment goals.

Location for the CEU will be in the dining room at Encompass in Gulfport. Encompass is located in the east tower in Memorial’s building. There are signs around the building outside to help locate the east tower.
