In this final episode of the Moving Forward Task Force podcast, Evidence Elevates, we summarize close to 4 years of work. We hope you enjoy the podcast and find the resources we created useful! 

This episode summarized: 

The work of the Moving Forward Task Force has come to an end. We hope you will all continue to move your practice forward.

In this episode, we speak to Dorian Rose, one of the authors of the recently published article on
essential competencies in entry-level neurologic physical therapist education (article video link:
https://links.lww.com/JNPT/A427). Dr. Rose discusses the benefits of competency-based
education for a variety of critical areas, including accountability and flexibility. She explains how
the seven essential competency domains can guide academic and clinical educators to support
clinical development in neurologic practice.

Parm Padgett of the Moving Forward Taskforce talks with Wendy Romney about her experiences with changing practice through curriculum changes. Listen to hear how personal experience, modeling the change you want to see and ways to address de-implementation with colleagues can be implemented slowly and incrementally to move through a continuous improvement model.

In the first episode of the ANPT Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Podcast, the committee introduces themselves and describes their journey to forming the DEI committee. This committee was formed in 2021 with the mission of raising awareness of issues of DEI that affect patient outcomes within neurologic physical therapy practice and to raise the profile of DEI within the Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy. Follow the committee on our webpage and keep in touch! https://www.neuropt.org/about-us/diversity-equity-and-inclusion

Host Puneet Dhaliwal, PT, DPT, NCS is joined by Dr. Paul Smith, PhD, Professor, Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand, to discuss the implications of vestibular input to the hippocampus on vestibular rehabilitation.

They will discuss how a steady accumulation of evidence suggests that vestibular lesions not just effect oculomotor and postural reflexes in humans but also may lead to cognitive deficits.

Host Puneet Dhaliwal, PT, DPT, NCS is joined by Dr. Andreas Zwergal, MD, PhD, an associate professor at Department of Neurology and German Center for Vertigo and Balance Disorders at University of Munich, Germany to discuss cerebellar dizziness – assessment and treatment interventions.

In this episode they discuss how neurodegenerative and hereditary disorders of the cerebellum often lead to postural vertigo, associated with gait and balance disorders and oculomotor disorders. The importance of correct assessment in the clinic leads to successful intervention.
