Knowledge Exchange Session of the NMD4C Community of Practice for physiotherapists and occupational therapists

Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists often work with clients with diverse needs and are eager to learn from experts and colleagues about effective strategies. This Knowledge Exchange Session provides a great opportunity to discuss challenges and successes, while connecting with peers across the country to strengthen our community and support each other.

We are excited to have Élise Duchesne, PhD, PT, chairing our first session. She will present on “Muscle Strengthening in People with Neuromuscular Disorders.” The session will include a 25-minute presentation followed by a 20-minute discussion.

Topics covered will include:

  • Muscle pathophysiology in common neuromuscular disorders
  • What is known in the literature about muscle strengthening for various NMDs, based on Voet et al., 2019
  • Characteristics of specific diseases to consider when working with particular patient populations
