25 Aquatics: A Good Match
One benefit of aquatic physical therapy is
the buoyant support of water that decreas-
es compression stress on joints, allowing
for improved flexibility with greater ease
of movement, with increased hydrostatic
pressure and reduced gravitational pull.
Stretching through a greater range of
motion are all possible in the supportive
aquatic environment. There is evidence
supporting aquatic therapy as an interven-
tion for patients with fibromyalgia.
18 On Course
The golf swing is as finely tuned a
machine as any high-performance
sports car. From knees to hips, back
and shoulders, everything must be
in proper working order. Nowhere
is this more important than on the
Professional Golfers Association
(PGA) Tour. For two-plus years, the
tour has contracted with PhysioFitness
Associates to provide physical therapy
and athletic training services to players.
For each PGA and Champions Tour
event, the company provides both a
physical therapy trailer and a fitness
trailer where players can stop in for
treatment or exercise. (Jeffrey Leeser)
22 Mobility: Back to Play
Like most sixth graders, Donovan Carlson
enjoys hanging out with friends and play-
ing video games. Donovan likes to play
sports gamesthrowing, catching and hit-
ting. The only difference between Donovan
and his adversary: Donovan needs the
help of a stander to stay on his feet. When
Donovan was 2 years old, he fractured his
left femur. Then, Donovan was diagnosed
at age 6 with dystrophinopathy, commonly
known as muscular dystrophy.
15 Facility Focus: Wellness
Begins with a Y
With obesity levels and incidences of child-
hood diabetes skyrocketing across the United
States, many healthcare facilities have begun
to focus efforts on improving health on the
community level. Hendricks Regional Health
of Danville, IN, and the YMCA of Greater
Indianapolis have developed a comprehen-
sive plan to improve the health status of their
own community.

Check Your History Before
Ringing in the New
To the Editor:
I was anxious to read the cover story of
August 8, 2011 issue and quickly opened my
copy to read about early mobilization in ICUs.
Certainly it would take me back to my days
as a new PT, working in acute trauma centers
and general acute care hospitals. Thirty years
later, that kind of work is outside the scope of
my bodys abilities, but those early days as
a new PT remain among the most stimulat-
ing of my career. Indeed, the photograph of
Lisa West, DPT, kneeling behind the patient
working on postural control could have been
me back in 1982.
Imagine how disheartened I was to read
the frst paragraph: Traditional practitioners
in an acute intensive setting, including physi-
cal therapists, nurses and physicians have
historically expected patients to remain on
bed rest. Really? And later, traditionally,
patients with low blood pressure, abnormal
lab values or impaired cardiac function (such
as arrhythmia) are on bed rest for fear of
worsening an already unstable condition.
One of the positive and exciting changes
that has happened with the advance of physi-
cal therapy education is the ability to research
and validate what many of us were doing
back in the day.
There have been many discussions on these
pages on the ramifcations of the DPT entry-
level program on the relationships between
old therapists and new therapists. The
above-mentioned quotes point out an atti-
tude among some new therapists that vet-
eran therapists are able to overlook, but that
create tensions in the workplace that could
be avoided.
I can assure you I was rarely fearful in an
ICU setting. My medical education taught me
to know what to do, how far to go, when to
push the envelope and when to pull back.
My colleaguesnurses, respiratory thera-
pists, occupational therapists, doctorsall
communicated daily on scheduling patients
to achieve optimum beneft from therapy
treatments.
We coordinated medication schedules and
ventilator weaning schedules. We went home
exhausted each day after wrestling with the
tangle of tubes and monitors that were as
much a part of the patients in the ICU as their
arms and legs. We worked on bed mobil-
ity and transferred patients to the edges of
beds and into gurney chairs, onto tilt tables,
and watched carefully as many times the
blood pressure measurements would actu-
ally increase to a more normal range. I am
surprised that Ms. West writes about this as
if this is a news fash.
It is wonderful that there is now support
from facilities and schools, as well as from
therapists who are now in a position in life
to donate money to the cause of research, so
that the new generation of therapists can
confrm that our interventions are valid and
appropriate.
However, much evidence-based medicine
is ultimately based on a history of interven-
tions that, lacking the necessary resources,
we learned through trial and error.
I am delighted to know that what we did
years ago in the ICU can now be put into an
algorithm, and commend Ms. West for doing
so, but to suggest that we traditionally did
not do it at all until now is disheartening.
At worst, it is disrespectful of the many
dedicated therapists, nurses and doctors who
did not need an algorithm to do what they
knew was best for patients.
I would encourage the schools to continue
to impress upon DPT students the impor-
tance of understanding that experience mat-
ters, and would encourage young researchers
to delve a little more deeply into the his-
tory of patient careif the research doesnt
exist, at least interview therapists who were
therewhen writing articles introducing a
new approach. n

Although physical
therapists who treat older
adults with amputation
can rely on little scientifc
evidence
1
, a few investi-
gators have scrutinized
some aspects of clinical
practice. Dillingham and Pezzin followed
2,468 elderly patients for a year, and found
that inpatient rehabilitation immediately after
amputation is associated with signifcantly
less mortality, fewer subsequent amputations
and greater medical stability as compared with
treatment in SNFs or at home.
2
The place of a PTs employment impacts
the rehabilitation outcome. Ideally, rehabilita-
tion should start prior to amputation surgery.
Evaluating the patients joint excursion enables
the PT to institute measures to prevent con-
tractures. Appraising the individuals general
physical and emotional condition permits the
PT to recommend candidates for immediate
postoperative prostheses. Postoperatively,
the semirigid dressing stabilizes amputation
limb volume and fosters prosthetic use more
effectively than elastic bandage, especially for
patients with transfemoral (above-knee) ampu-
tation.
3
Prior to being ftted with a defnitive
prosthesis, patients who wore pneumatic tem-
porary prostheses responded positively.
4

Prostheses Classifcations
Medicare regulations specify reimbursement
guidelines for prostheses for individuals with
unilateral transtibial (below-knee) and trans-
femoral amputation. Excluded from reimburse-
ment for prostheses are people deemed unlikely
to beneft from a prosthesis, K0. Household
ambulators, K1, will wear a prosthesis primar-
ily at home. K2 designates people who will be
limited community ambulators. Those who are
predicted to walk in the community and be able
to vary gait speed are listed as K3, while K4 clas-
sifes individuals who will attain high levels of
activity.
5
Older people with dysvascular ampu-
tation usually are classifed as K1 or K2.
Consequently, their prostheses are relatively
simple without energy storing feet or electronic
knee units. Regardless of prosthetic compo-
nents, rehabilitation should include instruction
in donning the prosthesis and transferring from
sitting to standing. Patients with transtibial
amputation should strengthen the knee exten-
sors in order to control the prosthesis and pre-
vent inadvertent knee collapse.
Both individuals with transtibial and trans-
femoral amputation beneft from hip extensor
strengthening, which contributes to prosthetic
control when the wearer walks. Basic gait train-
ing focuses on erect standing posture, sym-
metrical weight shifting, and walking with
uniform step lengths.
6
Auditory cueing with
a metronome shown to improve the gait of
patients with Parkinsons disease is an effec-
tive strategy to foster gait symmetry among
those wearing prostheses.
7

Nadollek and colleagues demonstrated
that 23 elderly adults with unilateral tran-
stibial amputation achieved less asymmetry
when standing and walking after performing
exercises emphasizing hip abductor strength.
8

Twenty-fve adults with unilateral transfemoral
amputation had 10 half-hour sessions of prop-
rioceptive neuromuscular facilitation resistive
gait training; they exhibited better gait and bal-
ance than the control group, which received
traditional training.
9
Prospective study of 37
elderly prosthesis wearers indicated they use
many ambulation aids, including various types
of walkers, crutches and one or two canes.
10

Evaluating Outcomes
Rehabilitation outcome is infuenced by several
factors. On the basis of evaluating 309 adults
with transtibial amputation, Taylor and asso-
ciates identifed coronary artery disease, cere-
brovascular disease, and impaired ambulatory
ability before amputation as critical,
11
while
Asano and coworkers reported depression and
nonparticipation in daily living as predictors of
poor quality of life among 415 older subjects.
12

Interviews with and questionnaires submitted
by 199 geriatric patients with dysvascular ampu-
tation revealed that only a third were ftted with
a prosthesis; negative factors included death,
reamputation, cerebrovascular disease, cogni-
tive defcits, advanced age, and transfemoral
amputation.
13
A recent survey of 177 patients
amputated because of vascular disease shows
that those who lived at home and wore prosthe-
ses had higher quality of life scores.
14
Among
the implications for PTs from the research are:
1) The patients physical and emotional sta-
tus is important in determining the outcome
of rehabilitation. PTs should establish rapport
with the patient and encourage their participa-
tion in exercises aimed at increasing strength,
maximizing cardiopulmonary function and
improving standing and walking balance.
2) The site of rehabilitation affects the out-
come; PTs who work in rehabilitation centers
are more likely to achieve good results.
3) Rehabilitation prognosis is tempered by
immutable factors, including patients age,
comorbidities, and walking ability prior to
amputation.
It can be reasoned, based on published evi-
dence, that important components in the suc-
cessful rehabilitation of each individual with
lower-limb amputation involves a comprehen-
sive approach. Foremost on the PTs agenda are
thorough physical and emotional evaluation,
perceptive patient education, individualized
fexibility and strengthening exercises, active
participation in Medicare classifcation and,
when suitable, selection of appropriate pros-
thetic components. Nevertheless, as PTs we
need to aware that some people of advanced
age can continue the active lifestyles they
enjoyed prior to amputation. They deserve a
prosthesis and training that enables them to
reach their highest goals. All PTs entrusted
with the care of older adults with amputa-
tion: Walk the talk so that our patients with
amputations can walk the walk. n

kay, youve made the decision to
move from paper-based to digital
clinical documentation.
Many a health care practice
owner has suffered paralysis by analy-
sis when pondering all the intimidating
details of implementing an electronic medi-
cal records system. How can you organize
your thoughts and move forward without
becoming lost in excessive analysis?
First of all, dont invest in a digital system
expecting to increase margins; at least, not
directly. Much federal and state reporting
can now only be done with specifed IT, so
its more of I need to do this, said Walter
Reid, vice president of product strategy and
marketing for McKesson Provider Technolo-
gies, a health care IT company. Your ROI
needs to place value on how quickly you can
get into position to meet these new needs.
And expect glitches. EMR systems are
wonderful but their implementation is nor-
mally painfulas with any kind of software,
health care economic consultant Gary Isakov,
CPA, CA (S.A.), told ADVANCE. No transi-
tion is 100 percent pain-free. But in the long
run will it result in more effciency? Yes.
Choosing a Vendor
When choosing a vendor, ask: How quickly
can this vendor get me to implementation?
If you take two years to implement, youve
waited two years with nothing to show for
it, Reid said. If you consider the pace of
regulatory and statutory changes, you need
to implement sooner.
Transparency is another determining fac-
tor. You are making a long-term decision,
he said. What level of comfort do you have
that you are getting the information you
need? Can you ask hard questions? Is this
the right go-forward answer or is the vendor
just saying something to win your business?
Their willingness to talk about positives and
downsides indicates how well they will per-
form for you.
When starting off, practice owners need
to settle on a technology stack and make
decisions based on that, Reid added. A
consistent technology stack will deliver lower
overall costs.
And dont underestimate what President
George H.W. Bush once famously called the
vision thing.
Many administrators want a vendor
selection reduced to a checklist of features
and functions or a scorecard that compares
product A with product B, Reid said. Thats
an okay way to proceed, but it marginalizes
vision. You need to look at both.
Product A meets your needs, but does that
vendor also have knowledge and a passion
about moving forward? Dont go overboard
evaluating functionality. Give equal weight
to vision and the ability to deliver forward-
looking products, Reid said.
Equipping your staff with a practice soft-
ware system that merely incorporates dicta-
tion is missing the boat, Dr. Garcia added.
One thing a [provider] must do is document

Going Paperless
When implementing a software solution
at your facility, avoid paralysis by analysis

implement, youve waited
two years with nothing to
show for it.

QUEsTIoN: i work in an acute care hospital. The question is: Should or
can we do and bill for re-evaluation for PT and/or OT services when there
is signifcant change in the status of the patient and the goals have to
be adjusted accordingly, with the last original evaluation having been
done three weeks ago?
ANsWER: In the acute care setting, Medicare does not have any writ-
ten guidelines for billing therapy services as they are bundled into
the dRG reimbursement. The purpose of therapy billing is to get
an accounting of time spent relevant to services and used in the cost
reporting process. As such, the CPT coding system has been utilized
as the standard accounting process even though you dont actually
get paid that amount.
Based on Medicares guidelines for when a re-evaluation is appro-
priate, they do state in the Part B guidelines that Re-evaluation is
separately payable and is periodically indicated during an episode
of care when the assessment of the clinician indicates a signifcant
improvement, decline or change in the patients functional status that
was not anticipated in the plan of care. Based on that statement i
would say that your situation meets those guidelines.
DIsClAIMER: The answers provided are based on Medicare guidelines
for what is payable under the Medicare Part A and Part B Beneft.
As always, the provider should be aware of other regulations that
might supersede the Medicare payment guidelines, such as the state
Practice Act and the state Administrative Code. In any scenario, the
practitioner must go with the most stringent requirement in order
to be compliant. The information provided is current as of the time
of publication.

Billing for Re-Evals After Change of status
By Pauline J. Franko, PT
the patients progress from day to day, he said.
A [provider] must document abnormal fndings, diagnoses, treat-
ments, how the patient is progressing, and summarize it all into a
discharge summary for billing. It doesnt just end with the initial his-
tory and physical.
Diverse Information Needs
When launching a software system at a large practice network or hos-
pital, input from those that will be using the system day-to-day will
help ensure a smooth transition and staff buy-in. Provider input was
a priority when Wayne Memorial Hospital, of Jesup, GA, transitioned
from paper to digital beginning early in 2008.
We held special meetings with physicians, and they gave us direc-
tion, explained Deborah Six, director of information services/CIO.
Some physicians helped us understand what their needs are, and
how to meet those needs. For example, certain physicians needed to
see patient information in specifc ways and others needed to see it
in other ways, based on their specialties.
Her other tips: Have a group from the top of your administration
buy in to it. Put together a good team willing to work endless hours
getting everything prepared. Make sure the super-users have had all
the time they need to prepare everyone to go live.
And make sure your budget refects some overrun. You always
have things come up with training and support staff that will eat up
more of your money, Six said. Dont get down to the end and say,
well, we cant do this because its not in the budget.
Just Getting Started
Finally, be advised: Once you go digital, not only is there no turning
backtheres no slowing down. Buying IT only begets more requests
to buy IT.
A CEO might say, Okay, this will take a lot of time and money but
then well be done, Reid said. But no, the more EMR you implement,
I am confdent, you will only get more requests for more ITfrom doc-
tors, from pharmacy, from nursing, etc. Thats a hard sell for boards of
directors not intimate with clinical processes. They think, We bought
this so we should be good for awhile. In reality, health care is really
just getting started on IT-driven innovation.
Its an industry undergoing an ever-accelerating pace of change.
To keep up, review your IT purchases and update your software fre-
quently, Reid suggests.
In the early 1980s, DRGs came out, he said. Then, in the 1990s,
came Y2K. Then came HIPAA, then meaningful use legislation. Major
changes once occurred every 10 to 12 years; now its about every three
yearsthink ICD-10 deployment, value-based payments and increased
quality reporting. All those changes have IT implications. If a cus-
tomers system is not on the right platform, vendors will not be able
to respond and get the needed software to that customer. A lot of IT
products are not bad, just old. And it becomes increasingly costly to
maintain older products. n

ith obesity levels and inci-
dences of childhood diabe-
tes skyrocketing across the
United States, many health
care facilities have begun to focus efforts on
improving health at the community level.
Hendricks Regional Health of Danville, IN,
and the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis have
developed a comprehensive plan to improve
the health status of their own community.
The two entities opened a joint facility, the
Hendricks Regional Health YMCA, on June
26 in Avon, IN. The facility is central Indianas
frst fully-integrated YMCA and hospital col-
laboration and will allow both organizations
to provide comprehensive health and well-
ness care under one roof.
This facility is a destination where people
can learn, play and take action to improve their
health and enrich their leisure time, shared
Mary Beth Carmichael, community executive
director, Hendricks Regional Health YMCA.
Carmichael was among the group of YMCA
staff members involved in the fundraising,
planning, design and implementation with
the Hendricks Regional Health partnership.
At our YMCA, community members will
experience easy and convenient access to
everything they need for prevention, treat-
ment and maintenance of a healthy life,
she observed.
Hendricks Regional Health was interested
in partnering with the YMCA to increase its
focus on wellness and to reach out to the
community more directly.
Our relationship with the YMCA moving
forward is to make sure its a wellness des-
tination, explained Shane R. Sommers, PT,
MS, OCS, CSCS, director of physical therapy,
occupational therapy and sports medicine,
Hendricks Regional Health. We want the
members and our patients to spend time
here, having lunch, working out and receiv-
ing medical services all in one place.

YMCA-Based Health Care Services
The 118,000 square-feet healthy lifestyle center
features physical and occupational therapy
services, cardiac rehabilitation, lab and X-ray
services, medical practices, sports medicine,
nutrition counseling and diabetes education,
an indoor aquatics center, state-of-the-art well-
ness center, dance/aerobics studio, gymna-
sium, teen center, child watch, indoor climbing
wall, outdoor sports felds, walking trails and
an outdoor education center.
The entry to the facility houses an open area
with Internet access and comfortable seating
for the patients and YMCA members to use
and enjoy. Additionally, the area has a Sub-
way which was selected for its reputation as
a healthy fast food restaurant.
The hospital employs wellness nurses and
dieticians to address diabetes management
issues and to run wellness programs for com-
munity members and plans to have orthope-
dic surgeons on site a few days a week.
Hendricks Regional Health originally
hashed a plan to build a health and well-
ness facility but elected not to move forward
with the project. Then, an opportunity to
partner with the YMCA presented itself and
together, the two organizations were able to
create a health and wellness center that is far
superior to anything either party could have
achieved individually.
This YMCA is designed to break down
barriers to a healthy lifestyle by framing a
complete circle of care, combining traditional
health care offerings with ftness and wellness
activities within the same building, according
to Carmichael.
When medical treatment or therapies are
complete, members will fnd encouragement
and support in pursing ongoing health through
the YMCA programs, Carmichael shared.

Wellness Begins with a
Two facilities in Indiana combine services to improve

the health of community members By Rebecca Mayer
Christine Traub, PT, MsPT,
treats patient Cameron
Klein at the newly opened
Hendricks Regional Health
YMCA in Avon, IN.
Sports Medicine and PT Services
Hendricks Regional Health provides compre-
hensive surgical and non-surgical orthopedic
and sports medicine services at the Hendricks
Regional Health YMCA and at two additional
clinics. Mark Booher, MD, serves as medi-
cal director of the sports medicine program
and he works closely with a staff of physical
therapists, including those with certifcation
as orthopedic clinical specialists.
According to Sommers, the Hendricks
Regional Health sports medicine program is
benefcial to unique patient circumstances as
individuals may enter the continuum at any
time, whether to see a physician, a PT or the
wellness coach at the YMCA.
As part of the planning committee for
this venture, Sommers relied on his years
of experience as a therapist and rehab
director with Hendricks Regional Health.
He wanted the rehab space to function as
a fully integrated component of the YMCA
but without providing distractions for his
patients or the members.
Therefore, he designed the rehab gym
area to open out onto the wellness area, but
when the area is not open to patients, there
are doors that can be closed to the wellness
area. The rehab gym features a treadmill with
video analysis, therapy equipment, semi-pri-
vate area with treatment area and plinths, fve
private rooms, and a separate pediatric room
with mats and swings.
Sommers felt it was important to build parts
of the rehab area in an area that is separate from
the YMCA wellness area, to ensure that YMCA
members do not use the therapy equipment.
Additionally, this separation provides privacy
for the PT patients.
According to Sommers, if Mr. Jones is work-
ing out in the wellness center, for example,
and has an ache in his shoulder, a YMCA
employee will bring him to PT to ask for a
quick assessment. The PT can suggest that
Mr. Jones modify what he is currently doing
and if he sees no improvement, then the PT
would recommend he get a physician referral
for therapy.
We always, however, put our current
patients first, Sommers said. We strive
hard not to take away from the time we spend
with our patients. We have to be attentive and
balance our patient load with inquiries from
YMCA members, giving the YMCA members
an added bonus by providing them with
access to experts.
The physical therapists in this setting
mostly treat orthopedic patients ranging from
high school athletes to work injuries. The
clinic additionally treats pediatric patients and
a few patients with neurological issues.
The clinic plans to add womens health to its
list of services, mainly focused on pelvic foor
issues, cancer rehab and lymphedema. Som-
mers believes that providing these services will
serve as an adjunct to a cancer center that is
located three minutes away. Specifcally, he
hopes to address those patients who are receiv-
ing chemotherapy and radiology treatments
who would beneft from an exercise program
to reduce chemotherapy-related fatigue.
Similarly, the layout of the YMCA is

designed to serve cardiac rehab patients and retain them as mem-
bers. They are here participating in the program and often become
acclimated and comfortable with their surroundings so they stay on
for the maintenance piece after, Sommers shared.
The cardiac rehab area is housed in the YMCAs beginner ftness area,
surrounded by a six-foot wall to separate it from the main gym area.
The area has some of the same equipment as the regular wellness area
but it is staffed by nurses and strategically set away from the hustle
and bustle in case patients are fearful of being in the main gym area.
The Next Step
As a newly opened facility, the building and its surroundings are still
transforming. Sommers explained that there are endless possibilities
of design so they are charged with the task of fguring out how best
to achieve the free fow between areas but provide privacy for treat-
ment at the same time.
Now that the building is being used, a few concerns have been laid
to rest. The design committee had been concerned about noise levels,
for instance, in both the wellness and rehab gyms and accessibility for
patients. According to Sommers, the music from the YMCA wellness
area does not interfere with patient treatment and vice versa.
To accentuate the wellness theme, there is a 5k trail on site that any-
one in the community is welcome to use. The facility hopes that fami-
lies will bring picnics to promote healthy and active pastimes with their
children that do not include watching TV. Additionally, the countys
Parks Foundation is hosting a fun run series on the property.
The town of Avon has also invested in the project with the addi-
tion of a 7.5-acre town park, sitting on the north end of the Hendricks
Regional Health YMCA property. The park contains open playing
felds and walking paths and is within walking or biking distance of
more than 1,600 homes in Avon.
One of the goals of the Hendricks Regional Health YMCA is to
increase awareness of health and wellness options but also to give
people structure, which is something they may not have had before,
Sommers said. All of this is available at a low cost to the community,
just the cost of joining the YMCA.
The Hendricks Regional Health YMCA campus is located in a devel-
opment called Satori Pointe, Open land to the south of the YMCA is
available for purchase by businesses that cater to improving health
and wellness.
According to Sommers, the property and surrounding areas are
presently a work in progress. There are talks of leasing out new space
to a spa and a fresh market to promote health and wellness.
We are looking to bring in businesses that with a health and well-
ness focus, he explained. Providing a wellness destination centered
around the Hendricks Regional Health YMCA is our goal.
At this point, the YMCA is gathering information from community
members and will assess their needs for additional expansion in the
future. Specifcally, the YMCA plans to start fundraising efforts for
an outdoor pool.
We have witnessed great support from the community, Sommers
shared. The individuals living in this community seem to love the con-
cept of living a healthier lifestyle and want to join for that reason. n

THE idEAL GOLF SwiNG iS AS FiNELY TuNEd A
machine as any high-performance sports car. From
knees to hips, back and shoulders, everything must be in
proper working order to achieve full potential. Nowhere
is this more important than on the Professional Golfers
Association (PGA) Tour, where fame, fortune, legacy and
even livelihood hinge on being able to achieve fawless
form. So who do tour pros rely on to keep their bodies ft,
healthy and biomechanically sound? Physical therapists,
the body-movement experts.
For two-plus years, the tour has contracted with Phys-
ioFitness Associates, based in Dublin, OH, to provide
physical therapy and athletic training services to players
at each tour stop. Established in 2009 by Tom Hospel, MD,
PhysioFitness Associates also contracts with the Champi-
ons Tour (men 50 and older). For each PGA and Cham-
pions Tour event, the company provides both a physical
therapy trailer and a ftness trailer where players can stop
in for treatment or exercise.
In the Beginning
Paul Schueren, PT, has been with PhysioFitness Associ-
ates since the company was established and performed a
similar role for 23 years overall.
My frst tournament was in August 1988, he told
ADVANCE. Dr. Frank Jobe was basically the founder of
this idea. Hes an orthopedic surgeon in southern Califor-
nia and medical consultant to the Los Angeles Dodgers
who used to be their team physician. In the mid-1980s, Dr.
Jobe came up with the concept of providing on-site ser-
vices to pro golfers, then made it happen by collaborating
with Centinela Hospital in Los Angeles and an equipment
company. They took one trailer to the PGA Tour sites, and
a few years later branched out to another trailer so they
could cover the Champions Tour as well.
Schueren met Dr. Jobe through a summer clinical instruc-
tion at the hospital while he was still in PT school.
I worked with him and his therapy group, Schueren
explained. The golf program was in its infancy so they
were looking for interested people. I thought it would be
quite an opportunity because I always enjoyed the game,
having played and watched since I was a kid.
So Schueren started working on the Champions Tour
circuit and continued there for four years before mov-
ing to the PGA Tour loop for another 15 years. Over the
past few years, he has again worked primarily with the
Champions Tour.
The PGA Tour season runs from January until the begin-
ning on November, he related. So basically 10 months,
with only a couple weeks when there isnt a tournament.
The Champions Tour runs roughly for nine months, from
February until the end of October. We developed the con-
cept of having the same therapists on each tour to keep
it consistent.
The standard format is for two PTs to work the Cham-
pions Tour, with three assigned to the PGA Tour due to
the longer schedule.
Because there are fewer Champions Tour events, the
therapists on that circuit still work the PGA Tour some-
times. Well fnd a week here and there we can ft in to give
the other guys a break wherever it works logically. We
want to rotate them through and make sure they get off-
weeks scheduled so theyre not out there too long. Because
youre basically on tour for two, sometimes three weeks
at a time without going home. We all average about 28
weeks during the year.
Growth and Change
Schueren has seen signifcant growth and change since
starting more than 20 years ago.
For most of the programs history, the therapy staff has
been employed by the sponsor, he stated. So for instance,

when Centinela ran it, we were employees of the hospital. Then later
when another health care system took over, we were on their payroll.
But over time, the tour decided to make this a contracted program for
therapy services and the sponsor became a separate entity. The current
sponsor is DePuy Mitek Inc., a division of Johnson & Johnson.
As the program developed, services became enhanced at each
tour site.
Around 1999 or 2000, two more trailers were built. So we now have
a therapy trailer and ftness trailer at each site for the both the PGA
and Champions Tours. Before we would put everything in one trailer
at each site, including therapy and exercise equipment.
Schueren recalled that he used to do the driving as well during the
early days of the program.
Wed drive on Sundays and Mondays, he said. There were long
trips and short trips. Then wed get set up at each site, so we basically
did it all. Eventually we started contracting drivers for certain lengths
of trips at certain points.
Driving responsibilities for the therapists ended entirely around when
the third and fourth trailers were built.
And I wasnt unhappy about that, Schueren laughed. It was fun the
frst year when I was young and just getting started. But truck driving
was one thing they didnt teach me in school.
PhysioFitness Associates came into the picture in 2009 as a venture
spearheaded by Dr. Hospel, who helped implement the PGA Tours
anti-doping initiative the year before and remains that programs
medical advisor.
Dr. Hospel essentially kept all the people who were already on staff
from the previous sponsor we worked for and formed PhysioFitness
Associates, explained Schueren. So he manages the benefts and
administers health care aspects. I assist him with some of that admin-
istration, in terms of scheduling and a few other details. But he basically
oversees the program and makes the fnal decisions on what we do.
Typical Week
So what does a typical week on tour entail?
Both tours open on Tuesday and the golfers have access to us all
day through Saturday, then a half-day on Sunday before we have to
shut down. We leave after the last player tees off and then set up at
the next tour site on Monday, do operations and buy supplies if we
need them.
Generally during tour weeks, players can utilize the trailers for about
12 hours a day, beginning at 6 a.m.
Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which are practice and pro-am days,
can get pretty hectic, Schueren related. But all the days are fairly
busy. Tuesdays and Wednesdays just might be a little crazier because
theyre less structured, so guys have extra time and may come in more
than once. By Thursday when the tournament has started, we can kind
of see whats coming at us. Players have tee times, so theres a better
fow and youre more prepared. Plus treatments might be more concise
because of the playing schedule.
The most common ailments Schueren encounters are spine-related.
Spines, hips and shoulders are rotary, he noted. Those are the com-
ponents that generally get a lot of wear, tear and overuse in rotation. A
lot of planes of motion are going on, and though everything is suscep-
tible, they tend to take the most abuse as far as repetition. Knee, wrist,
ankle and elbow certainly have their share of injuries a well. And the
mechanism may not just be overuse trauma can also occur.
Early in the week, individual treatments average about 30 to 45 min-
utes, while 20-25 minutes is a more common range once a tournament
has begun. Close and regular interaction with players over several years
has helped Schueren develop good relationships with many of them,
especially those he began treating on the PGA Tour who are now old
enough to play the Champions Tour.
Absolutely there are a lot of guys Ive worked with for a long time,
who have kids and grandkids now, he said. There is a trust factor
to everything involved in a patient-therapist relationship, so having
the same guys on-site consistently for periods of time is always help-
ful. And certain players who have been around for a while know our
staff well.
Player Perspective
In late June, ADVANCE attended the AT&T National, a PGA Tour event
at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, PA. Two players who
stopped by the therapy trailer offered their thoughts about having treat-
ment available on-site.
These guys are top-notch physical therapists who provide an invalu-
able service, said Billy Hurley III, a 29-year-old from Leesburg, VA,
who plays primarily on the Nationwide Tour but has competed in
several PGA Tour events on sponsors exemptions. Golf isnt a contact
sport like football or basketball, but you are straining different parts

of your body and they do a great job of addressing whatever injuries
you might have.
I think this service is very helpful, added Hunter Haas, age 34, a
native of Fort Worth, TX, who has played three years on the PGA Tour.
People dont realize the stress that golf can put on your body, espe-
cially when you include travel to the different tour sites. All kinds of
conditions can get aggravated from being on the road for six weeks or
carrying kids around if you have a family. Without on-site therapy, Id
just have to self-medicate like putting my arm in ice water for elbow
tendonitis. The PGA Tour product is its golfers, and this service helps
keep the product at its best.
Famous Sites
Certainly one of the attractive aspects of life on the PGA or Champions
Tour is getting a chance to visit some of the most beautiful golf courses
in the world. Does Schueren have any favorite destinations from his
years of traveling around the country?
Whenever you go to a famous course for the frst time, its unbeliev-
able, he said. Like Augusta National in Georgia or other historic spots
like Winged Foot in New York. Some places we go are more exciting
than others, while some are quiet little towns but have tremendous
fan support.
Schueren estimated he has worked more than 700 pro golf tour-
naments over the years, including Ryder Cups, Presidents Cups
and every major played on U.S. soil the Masters, U.S. Open and
PGA Championship.
Those big events are always fun, he said. Theres a different atmo-
sphere. Maybe you feel a little more excitement and pressure.
So after all this time, what does Schueren like best about his chosen
PT specialty?
Its obviously an interesting work environment and Ive had a lot of
good memories, he concluded. You cant fx everybody right away
but there are certainly successes. Several times Ive been able to help
golfers play when they didnt think they could, which is great because
then maybe they make a cut and sustain their livelihood. I remember
one guy who was ready to pack his bags because of a back injury but
we worked hard with him twice a day and he ended up winning the
tournament. So that always makes you feel good. Overall, you have
the ability to think on your feet, see new places, meet interesting people
and have some autonomy in terms of practice. Its all added up to a
great experience. n

ike most sixth graders, Donovan Carl-
son enjoys hanging out with friends
and playing video games. As gaming
systems have evolved into frst-person
interactive experiences, gamers have gone
from sitting with a controller to playing from
their feet, mimicking the avatar on the screen.
Donovan likes to play sports gamesthrowing,
catching and hitting virtual balls with his oppo-
nent. The only difference between Donovan
and his adversary: Donovan needs help to stay
on his feet.
When Donovan was 2 years old, he fractured
his left femur. His injury appeared to resolve
without complications, but Donovans family
noticed changes in his walking. At age 4, these
subtle signs were thought to be associated with
his early fracture. An orthopedic surgeon
confrmed that Donovans fracture
was fully healed, so Donovans
family pursued complementary
care to improve Donovans mobil-
ity. When a chiropractor pointed out
that Donovans abnormal mobility
did not appear to be associated with
his earlier injury, Donovan was
referred to a neurologist at Gillette
Childrens Specialty Healthcare in
St. Paul, MN. Much to their surprise,
at age 6, Donovan was diagnosed
with a dystrophinopathy, commonly
known as muscular dystrophy.
Muscles Beyond Repair
Muscular dystrophy describes a
constellation of disorders affecting
muscle structure and function. Dys-
trophinopathy is a particular variant
wherein a gene on the X chromo-
some is abnormal, causing the
body to lack the protein dystrophin
(Duchenne muscular dystrophy),
or to make abnormal dystrophin
(Becker muscular dystrophy). The
gene is recessive, meaning both
chromosomal pairs would typically
need to be affected for the condition
to manifest. Since the defective gene
is located on the X chromosome, dys-
trophinopathy typically affects males, sparing
females with two X chromosomes.
Dystrophin helps bind together the muscle
cell wall and maintain its integrity. If dystro-
phin is absent or functioning abnormally, the
cell wall degenerates under the mechanical
stresses of repeated contraction and relaxation.
Excessive stress or fatigue of the muscle, such
as with eccentric contraction, may exacerbate
the condition. The deterioration allows intracel-
lular material to leak into the intercellular space,
leading to further muscle impairment. As the
cell wall attempts to repair itself, a degradation,
infammation and regeneration cycle ensues
without the necessary proteins to repair nor-
mally. Healthy muscle cells are replaced with
fbrotic and adipose tissues, resulting in a weak-
ened muscle with propensity for contracture.
The Duchenne and Becker muscular dystro-
phy (DMD and BMD, respectively) phenotype
includes muscle weakness, mild hypotonia and
psuedohypertrophy, especially in the calves.
Muscle weakness is generalized and systemic,
with some fbers seemingly more affected than
others. Shoulder or hip girdle weakness is often
more notable than distal muscle weakness. The
ratio of the size of the body part to be moved
to the muscles may be involved, and likely has
biomechanical implications in terms of lever
arm function.
Effects on the System
Systemic muscle weakness leads individuals
to initiate compensatory patterns to maintain
mobility. Notable is the Gowers maneuver
when rising from the foor to standing. Indi-
viduals maintain their center of gravity anterior
to the hip and knee, to compensate for weak hip
and knee extensors. Toe walking is employed,
to use knee extensor/ankle plantarfexor cou-
pling to control the knee joint in stance. Exces-
sive lumbar lordosis and scapular winging can
be prominent.
Recently, the role of dystrophin in the brain
has been identifed, and may lead to learning
disorders and other cognitive manifestations
in DMD/BMD. As skeletal muscle deteriorates,
mobility becomes increasingly affected, in many
cases leading to an inability to walk, or reliance
on a mobility device for community distances.
More severely affected individuals are often
unable to walk by their early to middle teens.
As individuals become less ambulatory, the
effects on their musculoskeletal, cardiovascular,
respiratory and gastrointestinal systems are

compounded. Increased sitting versus standing
and walking can decrease bone density, and a
lack of movement can lead to fxed contracture.
Cardiac muscle function is diminished, espe-
cially in the left ventricle. Weakened respiratory
muscles coupled with compaction of the thorax
in sitting lead to decreased lung function. Core
weakness and upper-extremity compensatory
patterning can lead to scoliosis, further hamper-
ing cardiac and respiratory function.
Limited mobility can exacerbate poor
gastric motility, leading to constipation and
nutrition issues. Finally, the overall decrease
in mobility, increased dependence on caregiv-
ers and the cognitive manifestations of dys-
trophinopathy can lead to psychological and
emotional challenges. Sitting for the majority
of the day, below eye level of your peers, can
create not only a physical immobility syn-
drome but also social isolation.
Prescribing Standers
Diseases like DMD/BMD have systemic mani-
festations, requiring management by a team of
professionals who understand the disease itself
and the effects on development. The Neuro-
muscular Clinic at Gillette Childrens Specialty
Healthcare includes neurologists, orthopedists,
physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists,
pulmonologists, cardiologists, psychologists,
geneticists and other specialists to properly
diagnose and establish a treatment plan for
individuals with neuromuscular diseases.
Physicians and nurse practitioners are
complemented by nurses and coordinators,
genetic counselors, occupational and physi-
cal therapists, speech/language pathologists,
respiratory therapists, social workers and other
allied health clinicians. Among this team, the
physical therapist often addresses maintaining
or improving muscle function and fexibility,
mobility and body mechanics. A PT may also
address equipment needs in conjunction with
the team members. As individuals become less
ambulatory, they require assistance to maintain
weight-bearing through their legs and function
upright for activities of daily living. A standing
frame or stander may be prescribed for use to
mitigate the effects of immobility.
A stander helps maintain upright weight-
bearing in the absence of functioning postural
muscles. A stander provides stationary con-
trol, and has been shown to have little positive
effect on ambulation. Standers may support
individuals in a prone or supine confgura-
tion, or may allow them to move from a fully
sitting position to partially or fully standing.
Increased awareness of the effects of immobility
and understanding of the needs of non-ambu-
latory individuals have driven improvements
in features, design and function.
Evaluating a patients need for a stander
begins with an assessment of function and
ability to participate in activities. While most

ndy Huesing is co-founder of
Tadpole Adaptive, an online site
offering products for kids with
special needs as well as informa-
tive videos, articles and reviews. He had a
C-7 spinal cord injury at age 17 and has been
very active since, traveling the world, starting
businesses, serving people with disabilities
and working with foundations.
Huesing lives in San Diego and describes
how using a stander has been able to change
his life and outlook.
i was injured (SCi, C-7 incomplete 1988)
over half my life ago, so ive been sitting
for two decades. i remember the frst time i
stood very well... aside from my blood drop-
ping completely to my legs and feeling like
i was going to pass out, i cant describe the
feeling of being upright. it was a complicated
mixture of strangeness, elation, joy and a hint
of sadness. i looked at my therapist and real-
ized how short she was! i had forgotten how
(relatively) tall i am, i could feel my weight at
my feet and my legs bearing weight, then i
was about to pass out! we quickly lowered
me back down.
Standing was like returning to a world i
had long forgotten. it was quite emotional
for medecades later it still is. i still try to
do it once a week. The accessible gym I go
to has a stander, and while im a bit reluctant
at times, i really enjoy it every time i do it.
Standing defnitely has its benefts, especially
because my belly goes away when I stand!
Recently, my girlfriend came and saw me
stand. It was so great to look at her while
vertical for the frst time (we even stole a
smooch when nobody was looking)! Thera-
pists dont mention these things when going
over standing programs. n
An Upstanding Experience
standers are prescribed for non-ambulatory
patients, patients who cannot walk an apprecia-
ble amount should also be considered as poten-
tial users. Since it may take up to four hours of
total stretch to create a change in muscle length,
obtaining a stander for any individual who is
upright for less time is plausible. For children,
this includes time spent walking and running,
playing games and other activities where their
peers are on their feet.
Proper assessment includes measuring
range of motion and muscle strength, espe-
cially in the hips, knees and ankles. The ability
to obtain a somewhat neutral alignment is
necessary to achieve proper weight-bearing
through the long bones, as well as prevent
joint compromise. Accessing head control is
important, since the neck muscles can weaken
as DMD/BMD progresses.
Head and upper-body control may also
dictate the type and confguration of stander.
Orthotics, individualized accessories or addi-
tional restraints may be necessary to achieve
an appropriate degree of upright posture. In
general, achieving a posture where the body is
cantilevered to at least 70 degrees or greater to
the horizontal is likely optimal. Documenting
respiratory and cardiac function in sitting, as
well as any gastrointestinal function at baseline,
is important for justifcation of the effectiveness
of a standing program.
Consider Transfers Also
Prescribing a stander does not end with the
patients physical needs. The method of trans-
ferring to and from the device should be consid-
ered. Safe transfers that provide the user with as
much independence as possible is paramount
to consistent usage. For larger users, it may be
impractical to transfer to a fully reclined stander
in a prone or supine confguration, achieve
proper alignment and move to upright.
For individuals with DMD/BMD, a sit-to-
stand stander may be the most practical. The
stander itself should ft into the users physical
environment, be it home or school, and also his
lifestyle. A proper evaluation likely includes

ibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), a condition
that is typically of insidious, adult onset
affecting females more than males,
1,2
is
characterized by pain, fatigue and stiff-
ness of muscles and soft tissues.
1-6

Condition Defned
This condition is defned by the American Col-
lege of Rheumatology as widespread pain
for at least three months, pain involving the
upper and lower body on both right and left
sides including axial pain, and with the pres-
ence of at least 11 of 18 specifc tender points
on both sides of the body, above and below
the waist.
1,2,4

The presence of muscle spasm, nodules, skin
discoloration and a non-restorative sleep pat-
tern is also characteristic.
6

There are a number of associated conditions
including disruption in Stage IV sleep, head-
aches, temporomandibular dysfunction, mental
and physical fatigue, Raynauds phenomena,
respiratory dysfunction, depression and hyper-
sensitivity to noise, odors, heat or cold.
1,4,6

Simple daily tasks including dressing,
grooming and meal preparation may be chal-
lenging.
7
Goals in the treatment of FMS include
pain management, restoration of sleep patterns
and increasing functional activity levels.
4,6

Krsnich describes exercise as one of the most
effective interventions for long-term manage-
ment of FMS.
6
An exercise program should
include low-load stretching and a low-impact
aerobic component.
Due to the unique properties associated with
immersion, aquatic therapy has been recom-
mended for the treatment of fibromyalgia
syndrome.
2,4,6,8
One beneft of aquatic physical therapy is
the buoyant support of water that dramatically
decreases compression stress on joints, allow-
ing for improved fexibility with greater ease
of movement, especially in concert with the
increased hydrostatic pressure and reduced
gravitational pull.
9-11

Active, passive and assistive stretching
through a greater range of motion are all pos-
sible in the supportive aquatic environment.
Evidence-Backed
There is evidence supporting the use of aquatic
physical therapy as an intervention technique
for patients with fbromyalgia.
Cedrashi et al was able to demonstrate
signifcant improvements in quality of life
and function following a six-week self-man-
agement program that included pool exercise
and education.
12

Pool exercise was a minor component in
the self-management program; however, the
design of the intervention was more refective
of clinical practice.
Altan et al also demonstrated improved
quality of life and decreased pain with a
12-week pool-based exercise program, the
effects of which lasted for up to 24 weeks.
13

Components of the pool program included
warm-up, activity, relaxation and a few out-
of-pool exercises.
Jentoft et al demonstrated improved car-
diovascular capacity, walking time and well-
being, and decreased daytime fatigue, pain,
anxiety and depression following a 20-week
pool program.
14

The pool group showed more signifi-
cant improvements in more variables than
did the land-based exercise group, further
strengthening the argument for the use of
aquatic therapy.
In their frst study, Mannerkorpi et al found
that six months of pool exercise combined
with education sessions improved quality of
life, physical function, pain severity and psy-
chological distress.
15
The exercises in this study
included endurance, fexibility, coordination
and relaxation.
The combination of exercise and education is
again a realistic clinical intervention. A follow-
up study by Mannerkorpi et al found that these
improvements in symptom severity, physical
function and social function lasted for up to
24 months following the completion of a six-
month program.
16

When looking at all of these research studies,
aquatic therapy balanced with education and
land-based exercise appears to be benefcial in
modifying the symptoms and disability associ-
ated with FMS. In addition, all of the programs
appeared to have fexibility and relaxation
components. The land-based program should
emphasize sleep hygiene (e.g., sleep habits,
environment, preparation for bed), physical
activity, relaxation, normal movement and core
strengthening, primarily in the form of a home
exercise program.
Session Focus
The aquatic sessions should also focus on physi-
cal activity, relaxation, normal movement pat-
terns and core strengthening. Initially, the focus
should be on pool-based activity (60 percent of
the time) with supportive land-based activity
(40 percent), progressing to a primarily land-
based program (70 percent) with supportive
pool-based activity (30 percent).
A number of specifc techniques can be used
in the water to assist with symptom reduction
and restoration of function for individuals with

relaxation, utilizes deep breathing and slow, broad movements of the
limbs and torso. This technique may help lessen anxiety, while improv-
ing breathing and endurance.
17

Watsu has been described as an excellent alternative intervention
for patients with fbromyalgia
2
and is a passive technique involving
rhythmical, gentle rocking motions with repeated trunk elongation and
rotation.
11
BackHab is a program designed for the treatment of individu-
als with low-back pain, but the principles can also be applied to those
with fbromyalgia.
5

Program Goals
The goals of this program are to provide exercise, slowly increase cardio-
vascular conditioning, and tone and condition muscles in a low-impact
medium, an ideal solution for individuals with FMS. The program could
begin with an active warm-up using Ai Chi techniques, followed by
Watsu
11
for additional relaxation and stretching.
17

To improve fexibility, slow sustained stretches of the major muscle
groups could follow the warm-up, with specifc attention paid to areas
that are symptomatic during that session. This would allow for continual
adjustment of the program based on the patients symptoms.
Using BackHab principles for core strengthening and exercise, the
general conditioning and strengthening portion of the aquatic program
could include a progressive walking program.
The water session would end with additional Watsu and Ai Chi
activities to promote additional relaxation prior to returning to the full
gravity of land-based living.
A well structured program of aquatic-based relaxation, fexibility and
general exercise activities combined with land-based education, relaxation
and general exercise will optimize functional recovery and outcomes.
Emphasis on relaxation, posture and the importance of activity will
help restore normal function. A combination approach of education,
aquatic physical therapy and traditional land-based physical therapy
appears to be the most effective way to assist these patients in reaching
their goals. n

attacks the brain, discontinuing
necessary blood fow and oxygen. It increases
the risk of lasting brain damage and disability
by killing 2 million brain cells every minute.
Thats why recovering from stroke can take
a lifetime. Formal rehabilitation to gain inde-
pendence is the frst step to recovery for many
people. It is common for rehabilitation to begin
in the hospital, and in stable patients, within
two days following the stroke. The quicker
patients start rehabilitation, the more likely
they are to recover lost abilities.

Effects of Stroke
Different abilities will be affected by stroke,
depending on the degree of brain damage
and where the stroke occurred, as every area
in the brain is responsible for a specifc func-
tion. A person can experience any one of the
following strokes:
Right-Hemisphere Stroke. Because the right
hemisphere controls the left side of the body,
a stroke in this area of the brain will typically
cause paralysis in the left side of the body. As
the right hemisphere also controls analytical
and perceptual tasks, a stroke in the right hemi-
sphere may also lead to spatial and perceptual
abilities and judgment diffculties.
Left-Hemisphere Stroke. This side of the
brain controls speech and language abilities,
as well as movement on the right side of the
body. A left-hemisphere stroke would likely
cause speech and language problems, as well
as paralysis in the right side of the body.
Cerebellar Stroke. Refexes, balance and
coordination are controlled by the cerebellum.
A stroke in this area of the brain would lead to
coordination and balance problems, such as
foot drop, as well as abnormal refexes.
Brain Stem Stroke. The brain stem controls
all involuntary functions, such as breathing rate,
heartbeat and blood pressure, along with eye
movements, hearing, swallowing and speech.
A stroke in the brain stem can be devastating
and life threatening.

Stroke Rehabilitation
Treatment goals help patients relearn basic
skills to regain independence, prevent strokes
in the future and prevent complications. Stroke
rehabilitation can include therapy to regain
speaking and comprehension; motor skill
strengthening; mobility training; psychological
evaluation; range of motion therapy; electrical
stimulation to stimulate weakened muscles;
constraint-induced therapy to improve function
of the affected limb and more.
3
Rehabilitation specialists can help stroke
survivors learn how to keep muscles strong,
use assistive devices to stay mobile, perform
appropriate stretching exercises, bathe, shower,
dress, eat and other necessary functions and
return to work. Feeding, moving and perform-
ing normal tasks may not be as easy as they
once were before the stroke.
Sometimes, muscles can be weaker or not
work at all on one side of the body. Patients
may experience muscle spasticity (tight mus-
cles) and joint contractures (hard-to-move
joints) on the weak side of their body. It is
not uncommon for muscles that havent been
affected to become weak as well.
4
Muscle spasms or spasticity, joint contractures,
subluxation or dislocation of a joint (commonly
the shoulder) and refex sympathetic dystrophy
(complex regional pain syndrome) are typical
ways patients may experience pain after stroke.
While pain medications can be taken, a health
care provider needs to approve anything bought
without a prescription. To combat muscle spasms
and/or spasticity, a combination of physical
therapy, braces and medication can help.

Returning Home
Returning home depends on stroke severity,
whether or not the patient can take care of him-
self, what type of help will be available and
if the house is deemed safe. Rehabilitation
options, aside from home therapy, can include
a rehabilitation unit in the hospital, a subacute
care unit, a rehabilitation hospital, outpatient
therapy, and/or therapy and skilled nursing
care at a long-term care facility.
For patients capable of returning home after
rehabilitation, changes may need to take place
in order for the patient to stay safe. Consider
the proximity from bed to bathroom, and
move items that can pose a falling hazard. The
National Institutes of Health notes that patients
often see improvement in moving, thinking
and talking in weeks to months following a
stroke. In many people, improvements will
continue to be seen years after a stroke. n

A
fter Olivia Chang Yanagi, PT,
received her bachelors degree
in physical therapy from the
University of North Dakota and
completed her clinicals in different states, she
could no longer resist the allure of her native
state of Hawaii and returned home to be with
family and friends.
Many people who were raised in Hawaii
leave the islands for college and may choose
to live there. Because of new experiences,
higher paying job opportunities, and the cost
of living is less, people usually feel it is hard to
move back home to Hawaii, Yanagi said.
However, when it is time to raise a fam-
ily, most people try to move back eventually
to be with families for support or to be in a
more family-oriented environment. Some-
times quality of life outweighs the rest.
Yanagi, a staff physical therapist at Rehab
Therapy Partners in Honolulu, takes full
advantage of the quality-of-life factors
that Hawaii affords its residents, making
frequent early-morning or late-afternoon
trips to the beach.
I either walk or run around Diamond
Head and Kapiolani Park, then go to the
beach to cool off, she said. My family has a
picnic dinner during sunset at the beach, and
then continues playing in the sand and water
throughout the evening.
Children who grow up in Hawaii can play
outside most of the time throughout the year
and are also exposed to a diversity of people,
foods and cultural customs, Yanagi said.
Indeed, Hawaii is an excellent place to
raise a family, said Kristin Hawkinson, PT,
who works in an outpatient, PT-owned phys-
ical therapy clinic in Honolulu. The cost of
living is high, but the number of activities
that people participate in out here is endless,
she said.
Hawkinson trains for fve rough-water
swims and one marathon a year. When
shes not training, Hawkinson enjoys going
to the beach, swimming, running, hiking
and basically enjoying all the things sunny
tropical weather has to offer. Hawaii is the
perfect playground for the active individ-
ual, she said.
Professionally, Hawaiis community atmo-
sphere allows PTs to participate at the county
and state levels with a feeling that their voice
was heard without becoming overwhelmed,

Coastal Allure
Hawkinson said.
As a member of the Hawaii Physical Ther-
apy Association (HAPTA), Yanagi also fnds
many opportunities to work with colleagues
for community events, on professional or
legislative issues or social events.
Private practices or hospital managers
often form special interest groups to help
each other work through insurance, quality
assurance or JCAHO issues.
Hawaii is also a small community, and
many people know each other through
growing up together, prior work expe-
riences, living near each other or see-
ing each other at continuing education
courses, she said.
HAPTA offers continuing education
courses at least twice a year, and many
lecturers who come to Hawaii provide
courses throughout the year. Although
the University of Hawaii-Hilo is begin-
ning work on a DPT program, aspiring
PTs in Hawaii currently have to travel to
other states to attend PT school, and PTs
interested in earning their DPT must do
so online, Yanagi said.
Professionally, Ive had the opportunity
to work in different environments and to
attend several continuing education courses
from many experts in the feld ranging in
orthopedic, neurological and geriatric top-
ics, she said.
Hawaiians seeking a PT program in
the continental United States might con-
sider Washington, which offers three
DPT programs and six physical therapist
assistant programs, according to Elaine
Armantrout, PT, DSc, ECS, a private prac-
titioner at Cypress Labs in Seattle, WA. In
the Seattle area, there are opportunities
for acquisition of masters and doctoral
degrees along with certifcation programs
in various specialty areas.
The Physical Therapy Association of
Washington (PTWA) supports a Legisla-
tive Impact Day during every legislative
session providing a prime opportunity for
networking, particularly in meeting stu-
dents, Armantrout said.
Armantrout moved to Washington from
the Midwest in the early 1980s because she

could ride her bike and snow ski on the same
day, she said. We can sail and hike all year
round. When we get tired of the weather, we
can cross the Cascades and get into a com-
pletely different climate.
Armantrout lists the absence of a state
income tax, the fact that women occupy high-
profle roles in government and geographic
expansiveness as some of the states endear-
ing attributes, but the best thing about living
in Seattle is that we dont have screens on the
windowsno bugs!
Paul Purdue, BS, PTA, a physical therapist
assistant at Physical Therapy Associates, a
private outpatient practice in Tacoma, WA,
said he cant imagine living anywhere other
than Washington even though he has trav-
eled extensively across the country.
Our climate is conducive to outdoor
activities year round: hiking, biking, boating,
fshing, hunting, snow and waterskiing, golf-
ing, SCUBA diving and whitewater rafting to
name just a few examples, he said.
Washington is divided by the Cascade
Mountain Range, which creates two vastly
different climates between the Eastern and
Western parts of the state, Purdue said. The
East is dry, arid and seasonal with more
extreme temperatures while the West is gen-
erally mild and gets the rain but is beautiful
year-round.
The best thing about raising a family here
is you have the beneft of city life, country liv-
ing and everything in between, he said. We
have professional sports, incredible music for
all tastes, technology and aerospace indus-
tries, and great people.
PTWA is very responsive to people inter-
ested in being involved in leadership roles
and offers great mentoring programs, Pur-
due said.
I was the PTA Caucus rep for six years
representing all PTAs in the Washington
Chapter for the APTA PTA caucus at the
House of Delegates. I mentored an indi-
vidual for three years to replace me as I am
now a national delegate for the PTA Cau-
cus, he said.
I am also on the PTWA BOD, PR Com-
mittee and served as the Chair of the Advi-
sory Panel for the PTA for the APTA. These
opportunities would not have been available
if Washington was not such a strong sup-
porter of leadership.
PTs also can fnd networking events in
many cities across Oregon, but the main con-
centration of a variety of groups are in the
Portland area, said Johnny Galver, PT, BPM,
staff PT and owner of Physical Therapy Cen-
ter Inc., a small, family-operated PT practice
serving the Salem community.
Oregon provides diverse work settings in
both rural and urban areas, with the greatest
opportunities to learn and work concentrated
in smaller communities that look to the PT
as important elements of the medical com-
munity, Galver said.
With that being said, truly PTs come to
Oregon because of the recreational oppor-
tunities, Galver said, citing hiking, cycling,
boating, fshing, hunting, rock climbing,
wind surfing, snow and water skiing,

mountain biking and off-road motor-
cycle/quad riding as some of the more
popular activities.
We have a coastline, mountains, high
desert plateaus and dense forest areas which
cater to a variety of individuals, Galver
said. Yet most of the population lives in the
Willamette Valley where it rains a lot and
allergies due to grasses, trees, hay, molds
and many others are plentiful.
Galver enjoys year-round barbecuing,
fishing and occasionally attempting to
shoot a goose or duck, just one reason to
make noiseI hardly ever hit anything,
he said.
I have raised my family here for the past
14 years and am blessed to have them work-
ing with me. The education system here is
good, Galver said. Like any other state we
have our issues, but for the most part there
tends to be more a feeling of community
regardless of what city you live in.
Derek Fenwick, PT, MBA, GCS, an Area
Rehab Director for Infnity Rehab based in
Wilsonville, OR, and specializing in post-
acute care rehab and geriatric outpatient
rehab, loves Oregons culture of inclusion
and environmental awareness.
Most Oregonians have a genuine appre-
ciation for the individuality of every person,
he said. Oregon is also a national leader in
the transition toward clean energy. It is easy
to live an environmentally responsible life in
Oregon, and weve got lots of people work-
ing together to keep it that way.
The genuine culture, the natural wonders
and the daily opportunities to experience
lifes diversity make Oregon an ideal place
to raise a family, Fenwick said.
People who were born here tend to want
to come back, and people who fnd Oregon
later in life tend to not want to leave. n

Intro to NDT Part I
Improving Gait Faster Part II
Achieve functional outcomes for adults with hemiplegia.
Content includes the principles of NDT, facilitation of sit-
to-stand, use of the LE in functional activities, transfers,
UE weight bearing, remediation of pain and subluxation of
the hemiplegic shoulder. Bed mobility will be demonstrated.
Treatment ideas and a framework to document goals based
on functional outcomes using NDT will be provided. Get to
results faster when improving gait. Increased clinical rea-
soning will enable you to know what to expect and what to
predict. You will be able to assess the cause of the problem
and have more immediate influence. You will have a better
understanding of the normal components of gait and then
understand why your patient with hemiplegia has tendencies
in gait. You will practice with hands-on how to increase
ROM of the hip and foot. Concepts for use of a self-exercise
program and use of orthotics will be discussed. Additional
treatment ideas related to gait and more examples of docu-
mentation will be provided. Both parts include videotapes,
hands-on experience and live patient demonstrations.

[pediatric mobility]
a trial with one or more standers in the envi-
ronment where they are intended. Sometimes,
instruction for a few sessions in the clinic is
required prior to an off-site trial. Goals for the
trial period should be established that identify
the feasibility of the standing program and
some identifable beneft.
Documenting changes in mood or effect
may indicate the likely success of a standing
program. The evaluation of the need for and
procurement of a stander should conclude
with a long-term program for use, including
frequency and duration, activities and desired
outcomes. Most importantly, the standing pro-
gram must strike a balance between providing
maximum upright positioning for a clinically
signifcant time and decreasing the stresses
placed upon the user and caregiver in imple-
menting its use.
Donovans Case
Donovan began exhibiting increased diffculty
with walking around nine years of age. By age
10, he was unable to walk independently, and
showed diffculty bearing weight through his
legs to transfer. Functionally, it was clear that
Donovan would require assistance to stand.
However, Donovan continued to demonstrate
suffcient upper-body strength and core stabil-
ity to perform transfers with the assistance of a
sliding board and very little help from a care-
giver. Given his history of toe walking, Dono-
van demonstrated contractures in the ankle
plantarfexors, which also limited knee exten-
sion. Most importantly, Donovan was unable to
interact with family and friends in an upright
position, limiting his choices of participation.
Donovans evaluation included a one-week
trial with a sit-to-stand stander. This was
selected due to his continued success with slid-
ing-board transfers and to promote indepen-
dence with the standing program. Options also
existed to compensate for his contractures.
Donovan kept a log of his trial period, docu-
menting the time spent standing each day, and
noting any positive effects. Donovan also kept
track of barriers to using the stander, which
helped the PT identify both strategies for suc-
cess and accessories to improve stander use.
Donovan himself identifed that moving slowly
to a fully upright position lessened any discom-
fort associated with the increased stretch felt in
his legs. Donovans family was able to experi-
ence the stander in their home, and identifed
strategies for incorporating the stander into
daily activities. The trial period provided a
practical illustration of the standers footprint
and function.
Donovans PT composed a letter of medi-
cal necessity fully outlining Donovans needs
and the positive effects of standing. A physical
medicine and rehabilitation provider reviewed
the letter and provided a prescription for the
equipment. A durable medical equipment ven-
dor worked with Donovans family and their
insurance provider to order and deliver the
stander, and ensured proper ft upon delivery.
Donovans care team reviewed his use of the
stander, and encouraged increasing the fre-
quency and duration of use. The entire process
took six months to evaluate and implement a
home program with Donovans new stander.
Today, Donovan uses his stander at least fve
days per week. He stands for up to one-and-a-
half hours per day, taking short breaks when
needed. Sometimes I play video games, eat
dinner, watch movies or just hang out while
Im using it, explains Donovan.
During the school year, Donovan does home-
work while standing, and enjoys talking with
his family and friends at eye level. His stander is
equipped with casters, so Donovans family can
move it within their home, allowing him to par-
ticipate in various activities. Donovan and his
family have found that adding any equipment
or changing a routine is hard, and sometimes it
is diffcult to maintain a home program.
Focusing on the benefts can help. To me,
it feels like blood is reaching my legs better,
describes Donovan. While standing, he can
also exercise his arms to keep strong for one
of his favorite activities, foor hockey with his
power wheelchair.
There are no known cures for the underly-
ing myopathy associated with muscular dys-
trophy. But supportive therapies can reduce
deleterious effects and improve quality of life.
A stander should be part of a global manage-
ment plan for treating DMD/BMD. While the
positive benefts are identifable, more research
into the mechanism of effect would increase
understanding and support reimbursement,
allowing more children to access and beneft
from these devices, as Donovan has.
Being in my stander feels really good,
concluded Donovan. It helps stretch out my
muscles and puts weight on my feet. I know
its good for my body. n

Diabetes Related to
Peripheral Neuropathy
Current research supports that
diabetic neuropathy is a peripheral
nerve disorder caused by poor glyce-
mic control. In the United States, 10
percent to 65 percent of the diabetic
population has some form of peripheral
neuropathy. Its estimated to be present
in 7.5 percent of patients at the time
of diagnosis. A study conducted by the
Diabetes Control and Complications
Trial (DCCT) showed a 2 percent annual
incidence of neuropathy. Interestingly,
research data shows that diabetic poly-
neuropathy is one of the most common
neuropathies in developed countries.
