1RM Living: What Is It & What You Can Do About It“I can’t lift my laundry basket to do my laundry.”“I can’t do more than 5 or 6 steps before I’m winded.”“It’s getting harder and harder to get out of my recliner.” Have you heard statements like this from your patients? As innocent as they sound, these statements mayrepresent a larger issue that can greatly impact the quality of our patients’ lives. Join Dustin Jones, founder ofGEROS Health (formerly Senior Rehab Project), to discuss the concept of 1 Rep Max Living - when one’s maxcapacity is near or less than the demands of life. We will take a deep dive into:

Why this is an issue we should be aware of in our patients.How we can identify those that are 1RM Living.Ways we can help people avoid 1RM Living.

By the end of this educational session, participants will be able to:

Discuss the concept of physiological reserve and how that applies to successful aging theories.Identify strategies to screen and assess patients that may have limited functional reserve.Perform specific strategies geared toward increasing functional capacity in the physical therapy setting.Identify strategies to influence our networks and communities to preemptively build their capacity tomitigate functional decline later in life.

Dustin Jones, PT, DPT, CSCS is a Home Health Physical Therapist with abackground in sports and orthopedics. He received his Doctorate of PhysicalTherapy in 2011 from the University of Kentucky and went on to become aCertified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), Russian KettlebellInstructor (RKC-1), and CrossFit Level 1 Trainer (CF-L1). He blends what hehas learned working with athletic populations to help older patients improvetheir function. The creator of GEROS Health (formerly the Senior RehabProject), Dustin has been a key voice in shifting attention toward elevating thequality of care, and more specifically in many cases the intensity of care, thatwe deliver to aging adults. Dustin is lead faculty in the Older Adult division ofthe Institute of Clinical Excellence. He teaches Modern Management of theOlder Adult with Christina Prevett.

The Increasing Relevance and Growth in Tele-Physical Therapy in Kentucky:Where are We Now, and Where are We Headed? The tele-medicine and tele-health concepts have existed for two decades. Initially conceived and developedto benefit patient access in rural and under-served geographic areas and the purview of physicians andnurses, expansion has occurred to reflect patient access to additional professions including physical therapy.The provider utilization of tele-medicine, tele-health, tele-rehabilitation and tele-physical therapy is growingrapidly through the confluence of readily available and supportive technology, clinical practice interventions,digital health, need for increased patient access, the health system transition to population healthmanagement and cost management, and support from regulatory statutes.   This three hour presentation willprovide an overview and the historical context of current tele-medicine and tele-rehabilitation; actual andpotential clinical practice deployment with patients; multiple technology considerations for effective and safeuse; insurance considerations, and explanation of the regulatory requirements in Kentucky.

The Future of Outpatient Practice Inclusive of Imaging Privileges Currently, there are initiatives in many states to add imaging privileges to physical therapist practice consistentwith physical therapists being primary care providers and the principal caregivers for those withmusculoskeletal disorders.  Is this a viable practice model?  Is there precedent and evidence for this?  Whatmust occur within a jurisdictional and national level for this to evolve?  What are potential drawbacks andthreats from this expanded scope of practice? How can practitioners, group practices/institutions prepare forthis change?  These questions and more will be answered from educational, jurisdictional, national, andreimbursement perspectives based on current evidence and professional association activities.  Strategies formoving these initiatives forward will be offered and discussion with audience participation will be encouraged. By the end of this educational session participants will be able to:

Understand the status of current imaging in practice initiatives across the US.Identify individual, group, and institutional strategies to prepare for imaging referral privileges as part ofpractice.Understand the barriers to imaging in practice and the potential drawbacks to this expanded scope ofpractice.Understand the benefits of imaging as a part of physical therapist practice for consumers and the profession.

Best Practices in Student Onboarding:  Strategies to Optimize the Student andClinical Site Experience Clinical education is a substantial and critical component of physical therapy education, and requires thesupport of clinicians and healthcare facilities alike.  Increasing demands for quantity of student placements, aswell as clinical site productivity expectations, drive clinical instructors to provide efficient and often hurriedstudent onboarding process.  Yet students remain in a vulnerable position and at increased risk of makingcostly mistakes if site-specific policies are not fully explained or understood during the clinical experience. This presentation will help support clinical partners in completing a risk-analysis of their practice andincorporate best practices in onboarding processes to establish a positive environment for student success,reduce the potential for student error, and, hopefully, minimize workflow disruption.  Participants will alsodiscuss the future of clinical education, including alternative experiences and long-term sustainability forcurrent clinical sites.

Physical Therapy Management for People with Temporomandibular Disordersand HeadachePhysical therapists (PTs) have a central role in the interprofessional team providing care for people withorofacial pain (OFP) which includes temporomandibular disorders (TMD), cervicogenic headache (CGH), andother forms of headache (HA). Proper diagnostic classification of the disorder and recognition of the centraland peripheral mechanisms involved are critical in the prescription of targeted interventions. People with OFPare at risk for central sensitization, autonomic changes, and impaired descending pain modulation. To provideappropriate care for people with orofacial pain, it is important to recognize the signs and symptoms discerningcentral changes from peripheral contributors to pain. The objectives of this presentation are to: 1) Describe asystems screen to be used in the PT examination to determine the need for interprofessional referral 2)Provide a valid approach for PTs to examine, classify, and treat patients with headaches and/or TMD 3)Provide an evidence-informed approach to physical therapy and interprofessional management for peoplewith peripheral generators of orofacial pain 4) Describe practical interventions for integration of self-management and self-regulation care for people with chronic orofacial pain.

The Nuts and Bolts of Blood Flow Restriction Training: Basic Physiology toClinical ApplicationBlood flow restriction training (BFRT) is a new technique that uses a pressurized cuff to reduce blood flow inand out of an exercising limb to induce strength and hypertrophy responses.  In this session, we will provide afoundational review of the physiological responses to blood flow restriction and an update of the mechanismsunderlying the molecular and system response.  After an update on the current literature, we will illustrate theclinical application of BFRT and reinforce the principles through a series of cases studies. By the end of this educational session participants will be able to:

Understand the physiologic mechanisms of blood flow restriction training that contributes to musclestrength and hypertrophy.Understand the safety and risks of using blood flow restriction therapy.Describe the benefits of low load resistance training with blood flow restriction therapy compared to highload training.
