1-dags kursus - Respiration og Postural kontrol

Intergrating Cardiopulmonary and Postural Control Strategies in pediatric and adult populations –Introduction and theory part.If you can´t breathe, you can´t function. 

”Postural Control and Breathing”. Du får en grundig viden om Mary Massery´s ”Soda Pop Can” model - Multisystem analysen af respiration og samspillet med den postural kontrol af kroppen. 1 dagskurset er primært introduktion og teori om emnet – samt selverfaringsøvelser og case-eksempler.

Indhold

This course, developed by Mary Massery, proposes a new definition of “core stability;” redefining it as the dynamic control of trunk pressures to optimize postural stability (balance). Massery’s “soda pop can model” links breathing mechanics to postural control using multi-system interactions.  The speaker presents novel research demonstrating the role of vocal folds as postural stabilizers, extending the concept of “core stability” from the vocal folds on the top of the trunk to the pelvic floor on the bottom.  The course has theoretical information and quick interventions (positioning and ventilatory strategies. Multiple clinical cases will be used to strengthen the concepts.  The course is applicable for any pediatric or adult patient (or therapist) who breathes and balances!

Læringsmål

At the conclusion of the course, participants should be able to:

1. Describe how trunk pressures link breathing and postural control using the Soda Pop Can Model.
2. Describe the multiple, simultaneous roles of the diaphragm as related to breathing, postural control, gastroesophageal reflux, constipation, and venous return.
3. Demonstrate the role of the vocal folds in normal postural stability responses (balance) and make the case for using speaking valves for patients with tracheostomies.
4. Position patients for optimal physiological and biomechanical support of breathing with simple equipment (towels, pillows, etc.).
5. Use a ventilatory strategy algorithm presented in class to optimally match breathing with movements from bed mobility to athletic endeavors.
6. Apply concepts to a wide variety of patient populations from infancy to geriatrics.
7. Identify the variations of “normal” breathing patterns and discuss the efficiencies/inefficiencies for individual patient conditions.

Undervisere 

Mary Massery, PT, DPT, DSc

Dr. Massery received her BS in Physical Therapy from Northwestern University in 1977, her DPT from the University of the Pacific in 2004 and her DSc from Rocky Mountain University in 2011. Her publications and interests focus on linking motor behaviors to breathing and/or postural mechanics in both pediatric and adult patient populations.  Dr. Massery has been invited to give over 1,000 professional presentations in all 50 US states and in 18 countries worldwide, including more than 100 presentations for the American Physical Therapy Association.  Mary’s research pioneered the concept of managing trunk pressures as a new way to visualize core stabilization.  She has delivered keynote and major addresses on topics such as cystic fibrosis and posture, pectus excavatum (chest deformities), connections between posture & breathing, and PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation).

Mary has received national awards from the APTA, including its highest clinical award, The Florence Kendall Practice Award, honoring “one’s outstanding and enduring contributions to the practice of physical therapy." She has been honored as Outstanding Alumnus of the Year by each of her 3 universities.  She was also awarded Northwestern University’s Alumnae Research Achievement Award.  Mary continues to maintain a private practice in Chicago, specializing in breathing and postural dysfunction.

Vincent Leddy, PT, DPT, PCS

Dr. Leddy completed his BS in PT in the Netherlands in 1988, his DPT at Rocky Mountain University in 2017, and his certification as a MasseryPT faculty in 2019.  Vincent is an APTA pediatric clinical specialist from San Francisco with expertise in diverse conditions such as complex neuro, adult orthopedic, elite level ballerinas, and breathing disorders. 

Dr. Leddy is a life-long learner who loves teaching other therapists, sharing his curiosity and holistic approach to motor problems.  His client and family centered goals work towards meaningful participation using hands on therapy and family education.  His goal is to move his clients from just “surviving” to “thriving” in a complex world.

His proudest Mary Massery moment was working with a nonverbal toddler allowing her to stand up and walk for the first time after focusing on her voice and core pressures.
