Physical Therapy CEU Course

This course introduces practicing physical therapists to emerging innovations in orthopaedics, rehabilitation, and healthcare technology that can be immediately applied in clinical practice. From the latest surgical procedures such as the Jiffy Total Knee Replacement, to robotic-assisted TKR, regenerative medicine such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, Stem Cell therapies, Cartilage Replacement techniques, participants will gain practical insights into how these treatments affect rehabilitation. The course also explores innovative therapeutic interventions and artificial intelligence (AI) solutions that streamline workflow. Participants will leave with actionable strategies to improve patient outcomes, reduce stress, and enhance clinic efficiency.

• Identify the surgical differences between a traditional total knee replacement and the Jiffy Total Knee Replacement and explain the implications for physical therapy rehabilitation.
• Differentiate between conventional joint replacement and robotic-assisted procedures and summarize how surgical technique influences recovery timelines and PT intervention planning.
• Demonstrate the ability to integrate AI-powered tools into clinic operations by applying at least one example of AI for documentation, scheduling, or patient management.
• Analyze patient case studies to formulate individualized rehabilitation plans that incorporate innovations such as Jiffy TKA and robotic-assisted procedures.
• Apply strategies to communicate surgical innovations and technology use to patients in a way that improves adherence, supports shared decision-making, and reduces therapist stress.

• Module 1: Orthopaedic Innovations & Impact on PT (2.0 hours)
• Module 2: Technology in Practice: From Robotics to AI (2.0 hours)
• Module 3: Practical Application & Case Studies (1.5 hours)
• Module 4: Wrap-Up & Implementation (0.5 hours)
