Linked by Pressure: Breathing and Postural Control (CAD)
Monday, April 25, 2022, 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM CDT
Category: District Meetings
This course proposes a new definition of “core stability;” redefining it as the dynamic control of trunk pressures to optimize postural stability (balance). Dr. Massery’s novel “soda pop can model” links breathing mechanics (including the vocal folds), to postural control using multi-system interactions. In this short presentation, she applies the concepts to spinal management in pediatric patients with weakness. 1 CCU At the conclusion of the course, participants will be able to: 1) Describe how trunk pressures link breathing and postural control using the Soda Pop Can Model; Speaker(s) Schedule Fees CAD provides financial support to district PT/PTA students to attend professional meetings in order to enhance their education and leadership development. Studies show that students who attend a professional conference are more likely to stay involved in their professional organization once graduated.
