Course Title: Non-Organic Physical Signs: Are tests for “Fakers” credible? + Fundamentals and mechanics of the neurological examination

Course Instructor: Joseph S. Ferezy, DC

**You cannot access this webinar through our website watch for your confirmation email with all the links**

CEU: One (1) CE Classroom Hour

Class Description:

People often present to health care providers following motor vehicle collisions and work incidents. The party responsible for payment of related health care costs, both in the short and long term, often becomes a legal issue. A part of the decision regarding payment is often based upon the expert opinion of a so called “Independent” (often referred to as “Adverse”) examiner of the patient. The examination typically incorporates standard orthopedic tests with other tests for “Non-organic physical signs”. These tests claim to be able to distinguish between organic or “real” damage from the alleged injury, from non-organic or “fake” damage, which may be due issues unrelated to the injury, from overt lying for a financial settlement (which is a crime), or from mental issues such as depression. This brief talk will discus the concept of organic vs. non organic disease. “Waddell’s Sign’s” 8 signs, as well as another 6 tests for non organic physical signs will be described and critically examined. This brief class will review the fundamental mechanics of the neurological/ physical examination. A format for examining the patient while the patient is standing, sitting, supine, and prone, will be presented.

Class Objectives:

Contrast and compare the physical neurological examination with the physical examination of other body systems.

Perform a neurological examination in a logical, physical sequence from sitting to standing, supine and prone.

Describe and perform “Waddell’s Tests and six other special tests described in the literature to detect complaints without a physical basis.

Mon, 01 Jan 2018 06:00:00 GMT

ChiroClasses 105 Record Keeping Teleseminar.

“If you did not chart it, it was not done”. Time and time again we hear this, but are your patient’s health chart that complete? The medical record is second in importance only to the actual care of the patient. It is designed to remind you of the salient points of your patient’s case, but also to be used and often relied upon by other physicians who may be otherwise unfamiliar with your patient. Further the health record is used by third parties such as insurers to determine benefit qualifications, the legal system for things such as injury and disability claims, and by the government in eligibility for various state & federal programs such as medical assistance and social security disability. Your health record may also be used in civil and criminal cases as it constitutes a legal record of the patient’s health and whereabouts at a period in time. Your notes may be used as official documents in cases of malpractice, disability, boundary violation, and other legal disputes. This class will explain what should be documented in every patient encounter, and why. It will also review various forms of electronic medical records and discuss strengths and weaknesses of each form.

Class Objectives:

List the various governing bodies and organizations which may impose requirements on your record keeping of the patient’s health chart.

Describe various types of patient encounters and levels of documentation, and determine how to properly document each encounter.

Course Instructor: J. Donald Dishman, DC

CE: Four (4) Classroom Hours (8 Video Parts)

Format: Video (TeleSeminar) 2015

Course Description:

In order to understand definitive diagnosis in neurological disease one must understand how to use adjunctive laboratory tests. The plain film x-ray, for example, is a test embraced by most doctors of chiropractic, who tend to be very skilled in plain film radiology interpretation. Electrodiagnosis, on the other hand, represents a series of tests that the average doctor of chiropractic is not well acquainted with, yet gives us a physiologic picture of nerve and muscle activity. Electrodiagnosis has stood the test of time and is a valid tool with utility in a wide variety of neuromuscular conditions commonly seen by doctors of chiropractic.

Join Dr. J. Donald Dishman for a serious discussion of this specialty, starting with the most basic information and definitions regarding electrodiagnosis, and gradually adding detail, with the emphasis on what a chiropractor needs to know in order to properly use electrodiagnosis as an adjunct to the neurological examination. This class does not train the student to perform an electrodiagnostic examination, but is instead is a guide to understanding the variety of tests available as well as what those tests look like and what those tests can and can not do.

Class Objectives:

List several textbooks on electrodiagnostic medicine and discuss the benefits and limitations of each text.

Recite several applications of electrodiagnostic medicine and discuss the utility of each of the tests performed.

Describe the components required to perform an electrodiagnostic examination.

Compare and contrast peripheral nerve injury classifications.

Define some of the current terminology used in electrodiagnostic medicine.

Compare and contrast the different types of electrodes used in electrodiagnostic medicine.

Describe terminal motor latencies.

Describe sensory and motor conduction velocities and studies.

Discuss orthodromic and anti-dromic testing.

Define motor unit potentials and discuss the normal and abnormal phases.

Describe the varieties of evoked potentials and discuss the clinical utility of ordering each test.

Describe the varieties of late potentials and discuss the clinical utility of ordering these tests.

Identify the relevant neuroanatomy of the peripheral nervous system.

Demonstrate median and ulnar nerves and the position of the various electrodes in common motor and sensory electrodiagnostic studies of the median and ulnar nerves.

Discuss the conditions and circumstances when electrodiagnostic testing of the central nervous system may be beneficial or necessary.

Describe the various electrodiagnostic procedures for the peripheral nervous system.

Differentiate between motor unit potentials (MUP’s), fibrillations, positive sharp waves and sensory nerve action potentials (SNAP’s).

Contrast and compare electrodiagnostic tests for extremity complaints such as weakness and sensory loss.

Define the role of electrodiagnosis in clinical practice.
