Advanced Rehabilitation for Limb Lengthening & Deformity Correction Preceptorship Preceptorship | September 28 - 30 Physical therapy is a critical component of limb lengthening and deformity correction treatment as these procedures create special demands and considerations for the patient’s rehabilitation. The goals of therapy are to maintain and increase range-of-motion of joints, promote muscle strengthening, help prevent contractures, and improve strength, mobility, and functional independence. Participants will have the opportunity to observe live, in-person physical and occupational therapy sessions with the experienced Paley Rehabilitation therapists; attendees can select specific sessions that are applicable to their target patient population. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to participate in problem-solving sessions to discuss either observed cases or their own individual cases. After attending this 3-day preceptorship, participants will: Formulate treatment plans for limb lengthening and deformity correction patients based on in-person observation of live therapy sessions with experienced Physical and Occupational Therapists. Discuss and critique actual cases with Paley Rehabilitation Therapists to determine best practices for positive clinical outcomes. Recommend the appropriate application of rehabilitation techniques (stretching, splinting, postural control and correction) for the patient undergoing limb lengthening or deformity correction.
