Get in the Know – Join a Study Group!
Presented by MIUSA Faculty members Dave Pleva, MA, PT, OCS, Dip. MDT and Jon Weinberg, PT, Dip. MDT
A virtual study group open to clinicians that are at various points along the training program to keep them engaged and motivated throughout the MDT education process and beyond in follow-up to the courses.
Following Study Group - Session 2, the participants will be able to confidently:
- Define the difference between force progression and force alternative
- Discern when to use which one
- Differentiate when to increase or decrease force or change direction
Faculty will emphasize the intent of questions, taking meaningful baselines, the significance of repeated movements and documenting correctly, ruling out red flags and when to refer, and the provisional classification.
Recommended material to prepare:
- Module 8 in the Part A manual
- Module 4 in the Part B manual (for those who have successfully completed Part B or higher)
Format:
- 90-minute Zoom session
- 7:00pm-8:30pm EST
- 25 max attendees
- Minimum Part A completion to register
Session Fee*:
- MIUSA Members $35
- Non-members $75
*All fees paid for this study group are non-refundable, non-transferrable and final at time of purchase.
