FNOR 5: Physical Rehabilitation Essentials
"Physical Rehabilitation Essentials (PRE) is a fast-paced, top-to-bottom instructional course in the clinical application of FNOR clinical techniques."
BACKGROUND:
" Stroke patients treated by staff who participated in a team training program were more likely to make functional gains than those treated by staff receiving information only." - Strasser et al (2008) ( Phys Med Rehabil)
COURSE DESCRIPTION
An fast-paced, live, practical course focused on direct instruction in case management and the application of therapeutic techniques derived from the entire FNOR integrative physical rehabilitation certification program (FNOR 1-4).
FNOR 5 is a response to long-standing requests for a unifying, skills workshop / training program for clinical sites that employ multiple practitioners on their rehabilitation team that intend to harmonize clinical skills around the FNOR clinical framework.
WHO IS THE PROGRAM INTENDED FOR?
(Licensed Professional (and current students) in the following professions are welcome to attend: DPT, PT, PTA, MD, DC, DO, RN, MSN, ATC) as well as ancillary/supportive staff directly engaged in rehabilitation.
The program will likely be highly valuable for any clinician that has previously attended the FNOR program and particularly valuable for clinicians who wish to efficiently and effectively train their rehabilitation team in the FNOR approach. .
The program is open to practitioners who have not taken any FNOR courses, though it is recommended that practitioners unfamiliar with FNOR might benefit from first taking the FNOR 1 course (Integrative Rehabilitation of Lower Back Pain).
