In today's episode, we're going to talk about the key factors that every physical therapist should consider when looking for a new job.Keri Ammons, Director of Talent Acquisition at ATI explains that finding a place where you can grow with the company is essential. Look for a company that offers various paths within the organization to satisfy different interests. Whether it's IT, project management, research, or HR, there should be enough room for career growth.She also notes that the highest offer isn't always the best offer. While money is a significant factor, don't overlook other important things like a 401k, medical benefits, and time away. It's important to consider the entire package before accepting an offer.Mentorship is also critical in a new job. Keri encourages candidates to ask companies to define their mentorship program and if there's a structured approach. Knowing what mentorship means to you and what you're looking for is important in finding a company that aligns with your values.Finally, Keri talks about work-life balance. Patients need us to be flexible, and clinicians need to find a schedule that works for them. Whether it's getting out at 5 every day to make it to your rec softball league on Tuesday or working on Saturdays because that's when you have childcare, finding a work schedule that aligns with your needs is crucial.Keri ends the episode by highlighting that ATI PT is one of the leaders in clinical research within the PT profession. With all 900+ ATI clinics placing in the 100th percentile in CMS's Merit-Based Incentive Program for the second consecutive year, it's clear that ATI PT is a great place to work.If you're looking to jumpstart your career and join a team that values career growth, mentorship, work-life balance, and clinical research, head to ATIpt.com (www.atipt.com) to learn more about job opportunities at ATI.

What Makes A Great PT School Applicant? Skye Donovan, Lori Bordenave and Chris Petrosino are physical therapists and have extensive experience in the PT admissions process as program chairs of three different PT programs across the country - Marymount University, A.T. Still University and Sacred Heart University. The panel agrees a great PT applicant is someone who is strong academically, has grit, can persevere, is passionate, caring, compassionate and ready to change gears. Applicants are highly encouraged to do their research when selecting a school. Each school has their own pre-requisites, separate applications aside from PTCAS, and interviews for admissions. When it comes to the interview process whether it is an individual, group or video interview, the guests discuss that they look for strong communication skills and professionalism in the potential PT student. Listen to the stories these three share about their worst PT interview experiences (start 25:20). The behavior guide of PTs and PTAs are the APTA Core Values. To understand how to behave and treat in this profession, these core values can guide how to come off on an application or personal statement. QUOTES 15:11 One of the ways that you know you have everything on that application that is pertinent is to find somebody who knows you, loves you, and wants you to go to PT school.” - LORI PARTING SHOT 1:04:32 “Everybody has a story. Know your story. Tell your story. I think that will make you genuine and really get you further by telling that story.” - LORI 1:05:02 “Optimize your talents. You have a lot of talents to bring to the table.” - CHRIS 1:05:51 “Don’t let fear paralyze you. Don’t be afraid of showing your true self. Try not to let fear overcome your ability to shine.” - SKYE hool Applicant?

Looking at Osteomyelitis Osteomyelitis which is a serious infection of the bone that is most commonly caused by a bacterial infection in the blood stream or exposure of the bone to contaminants (open fracture, surgical procedures). In 25% of cases, this condition is predisposed by trauma. In children, this condition is most common in long bones due to the increased blood supply to the metaphysis to assist the growth plates. In adults, this condition is most common in the spine due to increased vascular supply to the spine with aging or to other bone areas via an open wound and is also common in patients with diabetes mellitus due to increase risk of diabetic ulcers and delayed healing time.

- 90 - Neuro – Vestibular Disorders
Vestibular Disorders Host: Jimmy McKay, PT, DPT Featured Guest; Alicia Flach, PT, DPT, NCS Notes by Alexis Lancaster Vestibular Disorders What is it? Disruption that can occur from vestibular apparatus (inner ear) through the cranial nerve to the CNS where the information is processed Any disruption along this path will cause a vestibular disorder Anatomy Peripheral vestibular system BPPV: problems within the vestibular apparatus, specifically semicircular canal Creates sensation of moving, pt feels dizzy Problem with cranial nerve 8 (before synapse in brain stem) Problem here= peripheral problem Central vestibular system After cranial nerve 8 synapses in brainstem Travels different pathways to locations within the brain Problem here= central problem Differential diagnosis Dizziness can be due to different things Vertigo: room spinning, could be peripheral or central vestibular problem Feeling of imbalance or disequilibrium, pt doesnt feel steady on their feet. Could be peripheral or central vestibular problem Unrelated to vestibular system Polypharmacy Orthostatic hypotension (pt complains of feeling light-headed, passing out, fainting) Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) Migraines Get to the root of how the patient describes their dizziness Special Tests Subjective interview: try to understand when it happens, how long it has been going on, how long it lasts when it happens, does it come and go or is it constant, is it related to positional changes? Rule out/in peripheral condition, BPPV: Dix Hallpike, head thrust test, dynamic visual acuity test Look for central signs throughout exam Hypermetria with saccades Abnormal changes in the ability to perform Vestibulo-occular reflex cancellation: being able to follow a moving object with your eyes and head moving in the same direction Rule in the vestibular system overall, rule in/out peripheral vs. central Treatment Common encounter: BPPV Managed through canalith repositioning maneuvers (otoconia getting stuck in canal): Epley and BBQ Roll Dysfunction of peripheral nerve/hypofunction Gaze stabilization Tx Movement sensitivity/central component Habituation Exercise Graded exposure Sample Question A physical therapist evaluates a patient who reports dizziness when getting out of bed. The physical therapist suspects the pt is experiencing symptoms related to BPPV. Which of the following would be the most appropriate assessment to confirm the presence of BPPV Head thrust test Dynamic visual acuity testing Dix Hallpike maneuver Clock drawing test Answer: C. Dix Hallpike: it is an assessment in which an individual is moved into a position and is intended to elicit a response from the presence of otoconia in the semicircular canal. Position the patient and look for the presence of nystagmus to rule in BPPV. Why the others are wrong: A: Head thrust test looks at the ability of a patient to perform VOR (vestibulo-ocular reflex)--> specifically looks for hypofunction B: Dynamic visual acuity testing tests for peripheral hypofunction. Perform eye chart and look at visual acuity in static position and then pt will move head side to side to see visual acuity dynamically.

Episode 19: Central Cord Syndrome Host Jimmy McKay Featured guest Bridget Ripa Notes Alexis Lancaster What is it? Damage to the central portion of the spinal cord How does it happen? Hyperextension of the cervical spine is the typical cause Inflammation or pressure on the cord centrally Anatomy/Presentation Tricky Damages spinothalamic, corticospinal, and dorsal columns Upper extremities weaker than lower extremities Greater motor deficits than sensory deficits The sensation of the sacral region is present Differential diagnosis The other spinal cord syndromes Rely on clinical presentation Imaging (CT/MRI) Special tests CT/MRI Clinical presentations (UE deficits>LE) Treatment Medically stable first Bowel/bladder program Motor learning Task-specific training Weight-bearing Neuromuscular re-education Strengthening Tone management FES Aerobic training Positioning Bracing/splinting Locomotion if applicable LE stronger than UE!

Fri, 24 Aug 2018 - 02min - 87 - Neuro – Brown Sequard Syndrome
Episode 18: Brown Sequard Syndrome Notes by Alexis Lancaster, SPT What is it? Damage to one side of the spinal cord Mechanism of injury: MVA, gunshot wound, stab wound Impairments/presentation: Ipsilateral losses: proprioception, vibration, deep touch, discriminative touch, and voluntary motor control Contralateral losses: pain, temperature, crude touch Differential diagnosis: Other spinal cord injuries (see above impairments list and differentiate this way) MS Spinal infarct Spinal tumor Transverse myelitis Special tests: CT, MRI Clinical presentation Treatment: Medically stable/managed Bowel/bladder program Task-specific training Motor learning Neuromuscular re-education Weight-bearing Tone management FES Aerobic training Positioning, splinting, bracing Keep an eye on shoulder pain * Allow for compensation!! (This is different, usually with the neurological population you want to use less compensation and aim for recovery of function, but these patients will need to compensate some) How it will appear on the test: Know how it presents clinically Know the type of injury that may result in Brown-Sequard
Fri, 24 Aug 2018 - 03min - 86 - 17 – Neuro – Posterior Cord Syndrome
Episode17: Posterior Cord Syndrome Notes by Alexis Lancaster, SPT What is it? Damage to the posterior cord itself Occlusion of posterior spinal artery Very rare Differential diagnosis Any of the other spinal cord syndromes (anterior/brown sequard/central cord) Clinical presentation Isolated loss of proprioception, vibration, & discriminative touch Special tests Clinical presentation stated above CT/MRI for confirmation Treatment ICF model Medical management Bowel/bladder program Motor learning Task-specific training Weight-bearing Neuromuscular re-education Tone management FES Aerobic training Positioning Bracing/splinting Locomotion Keeping an eye on shoulder pain Allow compensation in this population Sample question Identification of the mechanism of injury related to this condition Identification of clinical presentation

- 84 - 15 – Neuro – Autonomic Dysreflexia
Episode 15- Autonomic Dysreflexia What is it? Excessive autonomic nervous system activity triggered by afferent stimuli below the level of the spinal cord injury (usually level T6 and above) The stimulus can be noxious or non-noxious Usually it is a noxious stimulus Example: kinked catheter, tight clothing, overheating, UTI, bowel impaction, skin irritation Need to realize that the patient does not have sensation at this level, so their body is telling them that something is wrong via AD/excessive ANS activity and you as the PT need to figure out what is causing this response Anatomy Know what level it can occur at (T6 level of injury and above) Noxious/non-noxious stimuli Differential Diagnosis Orthostatic hypotension: presents similarly, check BP! OH: BP drops, AD: BP stays the same or is rising Migraine: a lot of reports from patients involve a pounding headache Essential hypertension: a person is becoming hypertensive with a certain activity Anxiety Withdrawal from pharmacologic drugs Special tests BP Clinical diagnosis: look at the signs & symptoms Signs: very rapid increase in BP (doesn’t always increase, but if it does, it will be rapid), decreased heart rate, goosebumps, diaphoresis, flushed skin above the level of the injury Symptoms: pounding headache, chills, anxiety, nausea How it will look on the test: Incorporating a patient with a SCI and identifying AD and knowing how to manage it, what level injuries it may occur with How to manage: sit the patient up! (the direct opposite of orthostatic hypotension), quickly identify what the irritant is Fun way to remember how to treat immediately: AD: BP up, sit the patient up OH: BP down, lay patient down

Inherited, an autosomal dominant trait Causes degeneration to specific brain regions Huntington’s disease gene is on chromosome 4 and it produces the Huntington protein that’s found throughout the body Signs/Symptoms Symptoms can present at any age Symptoms can include physical, cognitive, and psychiatric signs & symptoms The disease is divided into 5 stages Preclinical, early, middle, late, end of life Anatomy/Presentation Mechanism unclear Hallmark sign: atrophy of striatum that later involves cerebral cortex and subcortical structures Leads to severe loss of neurons in caudate and putamen Also affects basal ganglia pathways, the indirect pathway is affected before direct pathway (important) Differential diagnosis Lupus, chorea, ataxia, generalized neurodegenerative disorder R/O with genetic testing Treatment PT will see patients in middle/later stages (95% of pts) Check medications→ should have meds for abnormal movements and psychiatric disorders Specific to individual Family training Management of falls and decreased mobility On the NPTE Medications will be important (drastically changes function) Know meds they may be on Antipsychotics Antidepressants disorder. Side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, drowsiness and low blood pressure. Mood stabilizing drugs Know the PT management of disease progression (family education, etc.)

Episode 12: Orthostatic Hypotension NPTE Studycast Featured Expert Bridget Ripa, PT, DPT, NCS, CBIS, CSRS Notes by Alexis Lancaster, SPT What is it * A decrease in blood pressure by ≥20mmHg systolic and ≥10mmHg diastolic when moving from a supine to upright position Causes * Cardiovascular system, BP, blood supply to the brain Signs & Symptoms: * Physical signs: pallor, diaphoresis, loss of consciousness (potentially) * Symptoms pt will report: dizziness, light-headedness, faintness, nausea Differential Diagnosis: * Autonomic dysreflexia * Look at the blood pressure: AD will have ↑ in BP, OH will have ↓ in BP * Vertigo, BPPV: b/c of dizziness and light-headedness symptoms * Generalized nausea from infection, etc. Special tests * Orthostatic testing: monitor BP with position changes Treatment examples: * Immediately: lay the person down, elevate legs to prevent loss of consciousness * After: talk to the team about BP treatment medications * Encourage fluids with pt * Progress upright tolerance with a hospital bed, tilt table to decrease the number of OH episodes/frequency & duration of OH episodes * Abdominal binders, ace wraps on legs to keep BP up How can it look on the test? * The important part: recognizing OH and manage it * Emergent scenario: decide that it’s OH and what you would do about it * May need to differentiate between OH and more emergent conditions, such as AD *

TIA – Transient Ischemic Attack Notes by Nick O'Hanlon, SPT What is it? The same underlying mechanism as an ischemic stroke; with the main difference being the duration of symptoms is significantly less In other words, a brief episode of neurological dysfunction caused by ischemia (lack of blood supply) to the brain No tissue death occurs Signs and Symptoms Clinically presents like a stroke, but can also look like: a seizure disorder, tumor, migraines, or hypoglycemia Stroke symptoms – slurred speech, paralysis, overactive reflexes, balance and coordination issues, reduced sensation A complete resolution of symptoms occurs within 24 hours Anatomy Dependent on an area of the brain the ischemic attack occurs, but any part of the brain Crescendo TIAs – having more than one TIA within a specified time period 2 within 24 hours 3 within 3 days 4 within 2 weeks Special Tests Imaging – CT/MRI Clinical Exam – ABCDD2 prediction rule, which can predict risk of stroke after a TIA Age, >60 years BP, >140/90 Clinical presentation: unilateral weakness with or without speech impairment Duration of symptoms Diabetes Above a certain point threshold for the rule, patient is at increased risk for a stroke Differential Diagnosis Can present similarly to stroke, but the duration of symptoms for a stroke is much longer Causes Risk factors for TIA include: smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and family history Treatment examples Treating the person as they present with their impairments There is a good possibility the duration of symptoms is too short for us to see them during the dysfunctional window before resolution of symptoms Education about risk factors and crescendo TIAs How does it look on the test? ABCDD prediction rule is important to know Be able to differentiate between TIA and stroke
