Why we know this works
Why we know this works
We love this course because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we know the first months home after a spinal cord injury bring a flood of new terms and tasks that rehab explained once, quickly. What do family caregivers of someone with a spinal cord injury most need to understand? The complications, because problems like autonomic dysreflexia, pressure wounds, infections, and blood pressure drops are largely preventable when you know the warning signs. This 30 minute course covers effects by level of injury, transfer and daily living equipment, bowel and bladder care, and questions for care planning. Coupon code ASKSAMIE takes 75 percent off, or unlocks the full catalog for $19.99 for 60 days.
It is especially important for families bringing someone home with a new paraplegia or quadriplegia. This is condition education rather than hands-on lifting practice, so pair it with Video Training: Transferring Folks Who Can't Bear Weight or Video Training: Hoyer lifts when weight bearing is limited.
