Misdiagnosis of a condition ultimately leads to inappropriate patient management.

Case studies will be presented of patients seen by Advanced Scope Physiotherapists in the Neurosurgery Spinal Clinic/Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Western Australia. The clinical reasoning process and diagnostic work-up will be outlined. The presentation will be interactive and is relevant to any physiotherapist working as first contact practitioner.

Please join us for this event where Julie and Shannon will present:

1. Julie Bowman will present an evidence-informed and clinically relevant exploration of how the aquatic environment can be used to achieve positive outcomes for people living with neurological conditions. Drawing on current research, real-world case examples and videos of practical treatment strategies, this session will provide new ideas and extend thinking for how physios can apply in practice: aquatic physiotherapy – and swimming - to improve function, health and well-being, and sustained participation in physical activity for people with a range of neurological conditions.

2. Shannon Cheary will present on understanding how cardiorespiratory fitness training is implemented within sub-acute stroke, the role of aquatic physiotherapy and how aquatic physiotherapy is experienced by people following stroke.
