Assess the relevance of disability to law to care of these patients. Workshop 1: Identify pathophysiology and cognitive impairments resulting from an anoxic brain injury. Identify barriers and limitations associated with Anoxic Brain injury due to drug overdose. Describe traditional and non-traditional treatment strategies to target language and cognitive linguistic skills.
Workshop 2: Define negative attributions and distinguish their relationship to anger after traumatic brain injury. Apply viable measures for evaluating negative attributions after traumatic brain injury. Describe the current state of the evidence for reducing anger after brain injury with the ICAN intervention. Workshop 3: distinguish activity limitations in individuals with traumatic brain injury. appraise impairments and justify treatment of new learning and memory in individuals with traumatic brain injury. describe current research carried out by New Jersey TBI model systems centers
Workshop 4: Recognize the pathophysiology of Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke. Diagnosis and treat of Subarachnoid hemorrhage/ ruptured brain aneurysm. Describe the neurosurgical treatment of Ischemic stroke- Mechanical Thrombectomy. Workshop 5: Discuss ways in which culture can affect brain injury rehabilitation outcomes. Assess the experience of diverse individuals with brain injury can be shaped by multiple sociodemographic factors. discuss the concept of cultural humility and how this can be applied in practice
Workshop 6: Differentiate telemedicine and telerehabilitation options for pediatric brain injury healthcare providers. Explain treatment protocol at Children's Specialized Hospital. Describe clinical outcomes regarding the REST protocol.
Workshop 7: Identify and describe the presentation of dysautonomia following mild traumatic brain injury. Implement the basic concepts of clinical management of dysautonomia. Identify patients appropriate for referral to complete the Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test.
Workshop 8: Participants will be able to identify unique challenges in managing TBI recovery in the elderly population. Participants will recognize the pathophysiology that makes treating TBI more challenging in the elderly brain. Participants will be able to differentiate treatments for TBI specific to the elderly population.
Workshop 9: Discuss the impact of multi-facet sequelae of acquired brain injury on both survivors and their families following their transition from acute care. Propose meaningful tools to engage caregivers in their role in assisting survivors in community reintegration. Assess the survivor/caregiver relationship and provide meaningful tools to make positive change in the community reintegration continuum.
Workshop 10: Assess neurofatigue and its prevalence following brain injury. Recognize triggers and symptoms of neurofatigue. Demonstrate an Increased knowledge of treatment approaches so as to improve symptom management and optimize engagement in rehabilitative treatments.
Workshop 11: Devise a predictive model for successful graduation in late adolescents with moderate-severe TBI. Evaluate the possible role of Botulium Toxin-A in the management strategy of post-traumatic headaches. Identify and describe self-management, as defined in a behavior analytic context, wherein the correspondence between saying and doing is systematically addressed.
Workshop 12: Recognize and discuss post trauma vision syndrome and the symptoms associated with it. Demonstrate the dynamics of the team approach to the treatment of PTVS, including when to refer to other professionals. Formulate an incremental approach to the treatment of patients with PTVS in order to remediate impairments as well as improve everyday function with adaptive and compensatory techniques.
